Qualifications/Requirements:

Basic Qualifications Required - Experience, Skills, and Knowledge

Basic qualifications must be (1) non-comparative (not based on a comparison of one individual with another); (2) objective (not based on the employer’s subjective judgment); and (3) relevant to performance of the particular position and consistent with the employer’s business-related goals.

For example, If you are hiring an accountant, you might want someone with an accounting degree and CPA license, and who was, in the opinion of management, a “good communicator.”

The accounting degree and CPA license would be “basic qualifications” because they are non-comparative, objective, and relevant to job performance.

Even though you might consider the “good communicator” part to be a minimum requirement for the position, it would not be a “basic qualification” in the OFCCP sense because determining whether someone is a “good communicator” requires a subjective judgment on your part.

Also, passing a test of any kind is never a “basic qualification.”
