1) Employment history - periods of between one and three years where the candidate has made a commitment to a project or programme.
Conversely, the client or employer has kept them on the same project. CVs with a long list of projects/employers with "(3 months)" indicates to me they will either cut and run or they will have performance issues.
2) Test Knowledge - the candidate displays a knowledge and experience of implementing a range of test methodologies or frameworks. The degree of knowledge/experience required would depend on the role applied for. A test analyst has the basic work package planning and execution experience. A programme test manager should not only initiate a framework, but be able to implement a change of framework/methodology e.g. Waterfall to Agile, across multiple projects.
3) Test Tools - Every tester has used at least one tool, even if only Word to do planning with. I expect them to be able to talk the pros, cons, their experience and ideally how to improve the usage.
On the negative side, people who put every tool under the sun, puts two thoughts in my mind:
a) the candidate has only very light experience of each
b) has not bothered tailoring their CV to the post I am interviewing for.
4) Automation I consider Automation as a subset of Test Tools. Quality Center and QTP are only tools after all.
The candidate should at least demonstrate they will be able to talk some theory about automation. If they are claiming "automation" experience, then this should either be as a test engineer or as a test analyst creating test cases. An engineer should be able to describe how they developed frameworks, particularly at the code level.
5) Qualifications A fairly minor item in my opinion. ISEB / ISTQB Foundation is OK as a badge. However they would not influence the Yes/No decision. The Advanced levels certainly do though. The advanced levels can only be gained if you have substantial hands-on experience and not only classroom theory.

AQtime
AQtime is AutomatedQA's award-winning performance profiling and memory and resource debugging toolset for Microsoft, Borland, Intel, Compaq and GNU compilers.
The latest version of AQtime, AQtime 5, includes dozens of productivity tools that help you easily isolate and eliminate all performance issues and memory/resource leaks within your code by generating comprehensive and detailed reports for your .NET and Windows applications. AQtime supports .NET 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 applications (including ASP.NET applications) and Windows 32- and 64-bit applications.
AQtime is built with one key objective - to help you completely understand how your programs perform during execution. Using its integrated set of performance and debugging profilers, AQtime collects crucial performance and memory/resource allocation information at runtime and delivers it to you both in summarized and detailed forms, with all of the tools you need to begin the optimization process. This is all done without modifying the application's source code!
AQtime can run as a stand-alone application, or it can be integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio or Borland Development Studio, which gives you the power to optimize your applications without leaving the IDE.
With AQtime's intuitive and user-friendly interface and instrumentation in hand, you will quickly know the exact speed, memory usage, and application usability issues in your programs. As you optimize and improve your code, AQtime provides all the tools to compare and merge results so that over time, an exact and accurate "picture" of your application's state takes shape:
Monitor and report on all areas that could degrade your project’s performance and quality.
Assess the thoroughness of your tests by using Coverage Profiling.
Ensure that you make the right code improvements from day one.
Helps drill down to the exact line of source code that is responsible for performance or memory allocation inefficiencies.
AQtime is a TOTAL solution for professional Windows and .NET developers that want to eliminate guesswork during development and deliver rock solid programs when the project is complete. Via its unrivaled reporting and test result analysis architecture, AQtime does not just tell you that there are bugs and bottlenecks in your project - it shows you exactly which module, class, routine or line of code is causing the problem so you can go to work and quickly eliminate it!
