What it demands
We counted how often Lightmatter's own 44 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. 37 of 44 ads (84%) state a number of years. The median is 8 years; 92% ask for 5 or more and 27% for 10 or more.
