Anyone here have a recruiter reach out about a job where you don’t meet YOE requirement but end up getting the job? I have ~2.5 YOE and have initial discussion for a role that states minimum 5 YOE.

Also understood I need to get offer first. Just looking to hear others experiences.

two things:
1) recruiters can be idiots
2) qualification guidelines are often either inflated or “nice to have” rather than absolute

re: 1), u may want to speak to the account manager (i.e. the recruiter’s boss) - they are the ones with the client relationship and may know whether the yoe requirement is a dealbreaker.

re: 2), u don’t have much to lose anyway by going for it. u either get the interview or u don’t, right?

Thanks for the helpful perspective. Definitely going to pursue and see how it goes.

Had this exact situation recently. Job description asked 10+ yoe, I have ~6 + MBA and got the offer. The in-house company recruiter was the one to reach out.

Shoot your shot!
