Typically, only 1-2 of the 'requirements' are actually required (generally the ones that sound most applicable to the actual job..)
The rest are usually added by various levels of management that feel they need to 'contribute' something.
However, it makes it a PITA to get past all the databases/HR/etc. to actually get to someone that knows the 'real' requirements
- OnionBlender 3y agoSometimes I wonder if they are perm labor tests, since they're supposed to show they can't hire anyone with a specific person's skills. Other times I think someone left so they post the skills that the previous guy had.

- mech422 3y agoYeah - I'm sure there's some of that as well. I think its mostly just 'design by committee' for the most part though. A lot of companies don't do sponsorships, etc. so they don't really need to worry about it. As others have mentioned, it can also be tailoring a position for a specific candidate just so they have a reason to hire the person they already selected.
