What’s the best way to hire a strong n8n / automation specialist?
I’d love to hear your experiences — what worked, what didn’t, and what you’d do differently if you were hiring again.
Specifically:
- What skills or traits ended up mattering most?
- Any red flags you didn’t see until later?
- Did you prioritize platform-specific knowledge (like n8n) or broader API/automation logic?
- Any go-to questions or test projects you recommend during the vetting process?
Appreciate any wisdom this group can share
