Notes from Hiring Manager for recruiters:

Must have a good background in testing applications (I'm not looking for a know-it-all). Just an honest resume that reflects experience in application security testing and some red teaming. The ideal candidate would be someone who has been in application security for the last 5-6 years consistently, (I don't require certifications), someone who knows how to test applications manually and not just vulnerability scanning because we already have a team that performs that function.

Someone who has enjoyed Capture The Flags and loves to tinker in applications; anything else would be a bonus.
