...behind this part in some job adverts: Skills Requirements Organised Hard working Able to work in a fast paced environment Punctual Excellent communication skills Self-motivated IT literate Able to work independently as well as in a team Enthusiastic Smart appearance Has at least 5 years relevant experience Holds a relevant formal qualification Wouldn't it make sense to just start with the last 2 points? It would be like someone on here seeking new car recommendations and listing their requirements as: 4 doors Diesel Leather seats AC Automatic Cruise control Electric windows Spacious boot Rear wheel drive Sunroof Is a BMW

Links into the essential and desirable criteria, can be used to help matrix scoring when lots of applicants apply, helps evidence there is no direct or indirect discrimination. It could also be called upon in the event of staff performance, legal action or a tribunal. In car terms wouldn’t the last two in your list be akin to saying you’ve got a full licence and insurance?

I always thought that, but when I ran a number of recruitment processes I’m my last job the HR advisors were pretty clear about what must go into the job advert to head off challenges later down the line. Discouraging all but the very determined was also seen as a plus.

But to be positive, if you want to have a good shot at getting the job, provide proof with examples of previous successes that meet the characteristics that they think they are looking for. All of a sudden you look like the candidate they want. It is all a game that one can learn to play.

Am not 100% sure but I’ll wager there is some euro originated equalities legislation that prevents it...
