Most (not all) position descriptions for software engineers include requirements for experience with particular tools, applications, or 'frameworks'.
Would you hire a statistician that didn't have 'n' years of MS Excel experience, or had never used Pandas?
If I were a statistician with 20 years experience, would I even apply to positions listing those as requirements?
It's an interesting problem, as giving information on the position requirements clues applicants into the game they need to play and also runs the risk of turning some otherwise qualified people away.
