What are the top cybersecurity certifications that you look for among hiring candidates? Which ones are good-to-have and which do you consider a must-have, if any?

I do not look for certifications, I look for experience and results.  I love when I can see examples of their work and skills: GitHub, blogs, documentation, repos, etc.

For junior analysts and engineers, we look for CySA+ and Security+ or equivalent. For senior analyst, SSCP and CEH are very desirable. And for management roles, CISM, CISA and CISSP.

It depends on the role. CISM is good for leadership roles, CISSP for engineers and CISA for GRC type roles. CySA+ is a good SOC/entry level cert.
