You can require knowledge without using dealbreakers like "you must know b-trees". A better alternative would be to say "you need to know 30% of the following group of things: b-trees, tcp/ip vs udp, ..." and so on.

This is a lot like what I try to do in interviews, because I'm mostly just trying to filter out liars. I pick projects out of the candidate's resume and ask them about things they had to have learned to do the job they did.
