The Delavigne Corporation is looking for a candidate who:

There may be more than one correct choice here!
The job advert says 'Must be based locally'. This means the person they are looking for has to live in (or near to) San Francisco, the city where the Delavigne offices are located. 'Must' (without a subject) is often used like this in adverts to say something is obligatory.
The advertisement indicates that the position will involve 'some clerical duties'. 'Clerical duties' are various office tasks including organization and administration, filing and taking care of correspondence. A 'duty' is a 'task' or 'responsibility'.
This is the only false statement here. The advertisement states 'no recruiters please'. 'Recruiters' are 'head-hunters' or human resources professionals. 'No recruiters' means that the Delavigne Corporation only wants applications from individual candidates, not companies representing a pool of job-seekers.
The advertisement asks for a 'reliable' person. 'Reliable' and 'dependable' share a similar meaning. Both terms indicate a 'trustworthy', 'capable' person who can be 'counted on' to do their work.
