Should add Python here as a key tech we use Have mentioned Python in 'Minimum Criteria' section below, but will add here too this could be added to Essential Criteria ? stakeholder and project management ? Have updated in essential criteria below. But I have now used the previous version to create requisition in OBS. Will see if it can be changed. What is the difference between "minimum" and "essential" criteria. Both imply that they are mandatory and so could be one list? This is a bit confusing. I used to have just one, but this is the standard format of JD that the Bank wants us to follow. Here is the difference: Min Criteria: This must list the minimum technical skills/experience/qualifications required to do the job and should be measurable/scoreable. The screening questions you select must link to these, in order to allow candidates to best demonstrate their suitability for the role. Essential: This lists other important technical skills/experience/qualifications, and also more behavioural competencies. These are ones that are better assessed at interview rather than on screening questions on the application form Ok, I think we could go back and ask HR about this as it does seem confusing and to me doesn't give a good impression of the Bank to applicants at it looks like 2 lists for the same thing. I had checked this earlier, but seems they want us to follow this format. When I advertised last time, I just mentioned Minimum Criteria, but they said it has to be split into Minimum and Essential. Don't think we need to mention Atlas or Cloudera Manager as we hardly ever use those. Airflow could be useful so would leave that in.
