Not that it doesn't go on all the time, but it is illegal, and in my opinion, wrong. Some years ago there was a flap with IEEE Spectrum running ads that asked for (for example) 2-8 years experience. The legal way to state this is "a minimum of 2 years experience." The cap on maximum experience is subtle (and illegal) age discrimination. The recruiter (Bryan) is probably stuck in the middle, trying to satisfy a client (improperly) setting these requirements. Well, that's my opinion. Others may have at it. Jacob Z.

Looks like the emphasis is on design and analysis and not on testing. For whatever reason, age seems to matter, I'm sure to reflect salary versus experience. Good luck to those interested.
