We counted how often Sigma Computing's own 9 ads (those with a full description) state each requirement. This shows the filters the ads apply before anyone reads a resume. We have no data on why candidates are rejected after applying, and we do not guess.
Years of experience. 7 of 9 ads (78%) state a number of years. The median is 10 years; 86% ask for 5 or more and 57% for 10 or more.
