I can back up that there is way too much of this type of stupidity involved in the recruiting/hiring process...
In 2001, someone caught a job listing that called for "ten years Linux exp."
@gus3 In the 1995-1999 timeframe I used to see a fair number of job postings demanding 10+ years of Java experience... I'm like cha, riiiiight... not even if one's name was James Gosling.
Juan Valdez has more Java experience than James Gosling...
but the industry is a little different.

gus3: Another way of only wanting one person to apply, but acting like anyone can apply.
Reminds me of "How to hire Guillaume Portes":

Sometimes it isn't the recruiter's fault. Sometimes it's HR at the company or even the hiring manager. There is distro-bigotry among some "professionals" just like there is among fanbois.
It gets worse when you get to UNIX in general. Really, UNIX is UNIX is UNIX. There is one company here that I'm thinking of. If you don't have years of current AIX experience on current IBM hardware then forget about it. Have a few years of AIX experience and 15 years of Solaris and HP-UX? Not good enough! If it's not AIX it doesn't count.
