Hire a Robot

In the world of work, job specs are changing face. When you see job spec requirements that say:

 "linear execution and lateral problem solving skills"

You know you need a robot not a human.

Do most people even know what linear vs lateral thinking is?  In fact, there is even a third type of thinking called diagonal. Keep job descriptions to the point, honest, simple to read, and simple to understand. And, no need to embellish on the role - candidates have a way of finding out the truth.
