Frequently asked questions about hiring your next network engineer
Look for candidates with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. Key certifications include Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP), CompTIA Network+, and Juniper Networks Certified Professional (JNCP). Experience with network protocols, security, and troubleshooting is essential.
The required experience can vary based on the position’s seniority. For entry-level positions, 1-2 years of experience may suffice. For mid-level roles, aim for 3-5 years, and for senior positions, look for 7+ years of experience in network engineering and administration.
Key technical skills include proficiency in routing and switching, network security, firewall management, VPNs, WLAN, VoIP, and network monitoring tools. Familiarity with cloud networking (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) is increasingly important.
Use scenario-based interview questions or practical tests that simulate real-world network issues. Ask candidates to explain their troubleshooting process and how they’ve resolved complex network problems in the past.
While certifications are valuable, hands-on experience is crucial. Ideally, look for candidates who have both. However, extensive practical experience can often outweigh certifications, especially for more senior roles.
Key soft skills include excellent communication, teamwork, time management, and the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. Adaptability and a willingness to learn are also crucial in this rapidly evolving field.
Ask about their familiarity with technologies like Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), and Intent-Based Networking. Inquire about their methods for staying updated with industry trends and new technologies.
Highlight opportunities for professional growth, exposure to cutting-edge technologies, and any unique projects or challenges they’ll face. Mention specific technologies and tools used in your environment, and emphasize any benefits like training programs or certification support.
Increasingly important. Look for candidates with experience in scripting languages like Python, and familiarity with automation tools like Ansible or Puppet. This skill set is crucial for improving network efficiency and supporting DevOps practices.
