ISTQB Foundation Level Certification makes QA teams more efficient because of the shared QA terminology and principles. That's why it's suitable for every team member. It works for entry-level to experienced, and all roles, including testers, engineers, and developers.
These aren't "nice to have" requests but requirements for the job. So, of course, if you don't have ISTQB Foundation Level, get it right away. But don't stop there.
If two job applicants are similar, but one of them has ISTQB Certification from ASTQB, that gives them an advantage.
