German term or phrase: Vorliegen einer Auspraegung
Der Extrapunkt wird bereits mit Vorliegen einer Ausprägung vergeben.

This is regarding recruitment of a staff member who will get extra points in their application if they have certain criteria, for example, leadership skills or willingness to live in a country with a fragile context. However I am not sure how to translate "Vorliegen einer Auspraegung" here best.

neutral  Steffen Walter: The "willingness to live in a country with a fragile context" mentioned by the asker can certainly not be regarded as a "proficiency" or "skill set". Rather, this is about specific criteria to be met for extra/bonus points to be awarded.

Weird turn of a phrase. Perhaps our "fake German" specialist should take a look at that...;-)

neutral  Steffen Walter: Trait as in "personality trait"? Wrong avenue, I'm afraid - see the explanation/context provided by the asker./I see but I wouldn't use "trait" in reference to the "willingness to live in a country with a fragile context" mentioned by Lisa in her question

  -> Not trait as in personality trait, of course. This term has a much wider scope than that//I like it, though. Seems to me a better fit than the usual workarounds I am seeing.

neutral  Steffen Walter: "Ausprägung" refers to a certain criterion according to the asker's context. No performance evaluation involved here, in my view.

agree  Lancashireman: Just what I was thinking. The answer is already present in the asker's phrasing of the question. Everyone else here scrabbling round for synonyms!

neutral  Klaus Beyer: The asker uses "criteria", but they look for special "talents", not just "criteria" (which can be good or bad), i.e. Anhaltspunkte
12 hrs
  -> The "willingness to live in a country with a fragile context" (see asker's indications) is certainly not a "talent".

possession of one quality/attribute


Explanation:
I would translate the sentence as follows: "The bonus point will be awarded if you possess one of these qualities." - on the assumption that it (the sentence) appears at the bottom of a list of desired qualities, e.g. leadership skills, willingness to live in a fragile state, etc.

neutral  Steffen Walter: Is the "willingness to live in a fragile state" really a "quality" that you can "possess"? / "Criterion", as I suggested (which can either be met or not).

presence of the trait


Explanation:
This is saying that the extra points are given due to the mere (bereits) existence of the trait characteristic in the person. In other words it doesn't have to be further proven for example.
