Soft Skills: The Missing Piece in Network Engineering Hiring for 2024 As a network engineer, I’ve seen firsthand how crucial soft skills are alongside technical expertise. In 2024, recruiters should prioritize: 1. Problem-Solving Mindset: Beyond troubleshooting, engineers need creativity and adaptability. 2. Collaboration: Networking is team-based, and strong communication skills are essential. 3. Leadership Potential: As networks evolve, engineers with leadership abilities drive innovation. A well-rounded engineer brings more than technical knowledge—they bring people skills that make teams stronger. What soft skills do you look for when hiring engineers?

Last week, I posted that we needed three Platform Engineering Managers, and the response was brilliant as always, but also quite telling in the current market 🔎 Our job advert brought in 94 applications, but only one candidate was relevant, and after our chat, agreed not to move forward. 💬 I was approached by 34 people on LinkedIn who had seen my post, with 5 booked to speak with me. After our chat, 1 person made the initial client shortlist. 🤝 Received 12 referrals from people in my network, had great qualification conversations with all of them, and we’re moving forward with 4. The remaining 8 were not interested in the actual roles and we are exploring other options and will be considered for other roles that align with their needs and interests. Added to the DanOps community :) 📋 From my personal Platform Engineering Manager shortlist, I reached out to 27 previously qualified professionals who trust me to bring the RIGHT opportunities their way—I agreed with 11 of them, to move forward. ✅ After discussing the profiles with the end clients, we agreed to take 12 people forward, 4 for each role. ✅ 100% on 1st interview requests. 🗣 I can't speak for everyone, but for me this is quite telling. If you're not tapping into your network or partnering with a specialist recruiter, you ARE missing out on the right people and not even being considered for the right roles.

hiring managers recruiters what do you consider real life as someone who's pursuing network engineering? would you consider a well-built home lab as experience? what would make you feel comfortable hiring somebody that did not have a job as a network engineer or in the IT field?
