Look on this site under airline profiles.
For regionals, the mins to get hired are pretty much ATP mins and 25 ME. Unless you have serious black marks or scare them at the interview, you're hired.
For majors the PUBLISHED MINIMUMS are typically 1,000 ME Turbine (and 1,000 TPIC for a few), but nobody gets hired that low unless they're a lucky fighter pilot, VERY well connected, or have multiple affirmative action qualifications. As a civilian you'll need about 5-8K total time, and 1-3K TPIC to be in the ballpark to get a call. That's for 121 regional TPIC, for 91/135 it's probably going to take more time and more type ratings.
