Almost as silly is to demand kubernetes administration as a primary skill at all from someone whose main job is (apparently?) to use "an ensemble of Deep learning and LSTM models" for "anomaly detection".

#23Recruiters putting silly time requirements on skills is nothing new. My favorite moment of this type was at a meetup for .NET, where a recruiter came in and asked for too many years of experience, and the entire room burst out laughing. She just smiled, accepted the grief we all were giving her, and changed the job description to be accurate. I forget the exact wording she used, but I remember the gist of her respons…
That’s the right attitude to have. I would hire her as my recruiter.

I mean it also puts a bad light at the company. If they don’t even know when the software they want someone to be experienced in was released, how world they even judge if the applicant is competent in it?

#26If you are shocked by a job ad like this you haven’t been in the industry very long.
In 1995 a recruiter called me saying he has a position for someone with 5 years of Windows NT experience. (WNT shipped officially in 1993)
I told him hat if he finds someone, I’d him them myself! I’ve never met a person that owns a time machine!
He was very gracious about it.

#27Seen this so many times in my LI feed and people point out that kubernetes wasn’t even out 12 years ago. So that’s the joke of course but to make this even more sweeter I’d point out that even Go wasn’t publicly available. Wikipedia mentioned that first remarks about Go where from 2009 :)
K8s was originally written in Java, and then ported over to Go.
Really? I haven’t heard that before. Citation, please.

I don't know, she doesn't really seem experienced enough to be mine.

#30Rather than taking the clichéd lesson that recruiters are not humans and evil. How about, apply for jobs even if you don't have the skills they are asking for.
These sorts of inflated requirements disproportionally discourage women and other underrepresented minorities.
Care to source that myth?
