ANSWERED February 2007:
Attempting to honor the request for a short list (because I could very easily come up with a long list), here is what I came up with off the top of my head. Note the things that I would be willing to pay more for in terms of salary. If I didn't say based on salary, then the level I've indicated would be required.
- Can they test (analysis skills, techniques, planning, etc.)?
- Can they model (UCML, UML, various diagrams, concept modeling, etc.)?
- intermediate to advanced based on salary
- Do they know math (probability and statistics)?
- intermediate to advanced based on salary
- Do they know hardware, networks, and application servers (servers, routers, switches, JVMs, configurations, etc.) ?
- basic (they know where to find info and what questions to ask)
- Do they know tools (HTTP Spy, Etherial, LoadRunner, Robot, RPT, OpenSTA, etc.) ?
- basic to advanced depending on salary
- Can they code (not tool-code, but code-code)?
- basic to advanced depending on salary
