Skills to look for when you hire a Systems Administrator

Understanding the main tasks and responsibilities required for your Systems Administrator will help us find the best fit for your company.

The successful Systems Administrator must have expertise in configuring and maintaining servers, operating systems, and applications to secure operations. This skill is vital for optimising system performance, reducing downtime, and managing updates or patches to keep your company’s IT environment secure and efficient.

A solid understanding of networking, including DNS, DHCP, and VLANs, helps Systems Administrators manage connectivity between devices and systems. This skill allows reliable communication, troubleshooting of network issues, and maintaining an efficient IT infrastructure.

Systems Administrators must diagnose and resolve technical issues promptly to minimise disruptions. Strong problem-solving skills ensure the root causes of problems are identified, solutions are implemented effectively, and overall system reliability is maintained under pressure.

Knowledge of security protocols, firewalls, and encryption is essential for protecting sensitive data and preventing breaches. Hire a Systems Administration with cybersecurity skills to safeguard your organisation’s IT systems and protect it against today’s growing digital threats.

Proficiency in managing virtual environments and cloud platforms like VMware, Hyper-V, or AWS allows Systems Administrators to optimise resources. These skills ensure scalability, cost efficiency, and the ability to meet modern business demands in dynamic IT environments.
