That’s a red flag that the managers have no idea what they are asking for and have no idea what it is they make. They just know the last person that probably up and quit to go be a in a completely different career was the only person that retained that knowledge.

as a consultant this happens all the time because companies use brokers to find people. the broker only has a vague description of the project to go on, and they are not a domain expert.
i was once turned down by a broker because i “didn’t have experience in C”. i had listed all the versions of C i’ve worked with.
