Questions about hiring network engineers
How much does it cost to hire a Network Engineer through NextPath?+
There is no upfront cost. As a performance-based staffing agency, you pay nothing until your network engineer starts. Final fees depend on the engagement type - contract, contract-to-hire or direct hire - and the seniority of the role.
How quickly can you deliver Network Engineer candidates?+
For most network engineering searches we deliver a qualified shortlist within 48 hours. Timelines vary with role complexity and interview availability, but our goal is always speed without sacrificing quality.
What skills do you screen Network Engineers for?+
We vet for hands-on experience with routing and switching (Cisco, Juniper), firewalls and VPNs, network monitoring, and troubleshooting complex, multi-site environments.
What kinds of projects can your network engineers support?+
From new office network buildouts and WAN redesigns to firewall migrations and network security hardening - on contract, contract-to-hire or direct-hire terms, on-site, hybrid or remote.
What's the difference between a Network Engineer and an IT Infrastructure Engineer?+
Network Engineers specialize specifically in connectivity - routing, switching and network security - while IT Infrastructure Engineers take a broader view spanning servers, storage and networking. We help you define the exact scope and hire the right fit.
