We counted how often Databricks's own 16 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. 14 of 16 ads (88%) state a number of years. The median is 5 years; 100% ask for 5 or more and 0% for 10 or more.

How to stand out
First, cover the basics the ads ask for most (see the requirements above: excel (100%), sql (62%), python (25%), azure (25%)). Then look at what separates higher-paid ads:
Among the 16 ads that publish a pay range, we compared the median pay of ads that name each item with ads that do not. This is a correlation in the ads, not a promise: an item can pay more because it comes with senior roles.
