What minimal requirements are those? Most companies post a laundry list of every little framework and tool they're working with looking for the unicorn that already has years of experience in the same exact stack. Years of those types of posts have trained engineers to apply anyway, since most employers don't really care if you have every requirement on the list.

For example, we posted a job for a mid-level front end developer. We got a bunch of resumes from people who just finished a code bootcamp earlier this year, when we specified 3 years of front end development experience as the main requirement. Why does someone who finished a bootcamp 3 months ago and hasn't done any professional work yet thinks they should apply for a mid-level position, is beyond me.

Other candidates apply with 0 development experience - their resume frames them as "project managers" or "Search engine specialist" with no development related prior experience anywhere. I feel I wasted my time everytime I go through one of those.
