Passion, drive, the ability to learn new skills quickly…. The 21st Century SRE/SysAdmin job posting is starting to look like it belongs on OKCupid rather than LinkedIn. While technology is still evolving it remains measurable. But with the focus moving to soft skills how do you compare one candidate to another? We will deconstruct this topic and take the “woo-woo” out of the hiring process.
