My client is looking to hire highly experienced traders, (or possibly buy algorithms) in the fields of forex and commodity trading.

They require at least 3 (or better 5 years) of LIVE trade records, (ideally on accounts larger than $5,000 for psychological reasons, you mist still be considered even with a $2000 trading account, but with $100 micro accounts is unlikely, as these are really not different to demo trading).
