Frequently asked questions
What does a Network Administrator do on a daily basis?
Network Administrators monitor and maintain an organization's computer networks, handling everything from user access management and email systems to network security and hardware troubleshooting. Day-to-day work includes managing user accounts, responding to technical support requests, updating software patches, monitoring network performance, and ensuring data backup and disaster recovery processes run smoothly. They serve as a critical link between IT leadership and end users, keeping systems running reliably and addressing connectivity or performance issues as they arise.
What certifications and qualifications should we look for?
Strong candidates typically hold CompTIA A+, Network+, or Security+ certifications, or equivalent hands-on experience. Many hold Microsoft Certified Associate (MCA) or Cisco CCNA certifications, though these are not always required for entry-level roles. Relevant qualifications include a degree in IT, Computer Science, or related field, plus 2-5 years of hands-on network administration experience. When hiring through ECLARO, our team can match candidates based on your specific certification requirements and industry needs.
What's the difference between hiring a contract vs. full-time Network Administrator?
Contract Network Administrators are ideal when you need temporary coverage during staff transitions, major projects, or seasonal demand spikes. Full-time hires work best for ongoing network operations and provide deeper institutional knowledge over time. ECLARO can supply both contract and full-time Network Administrators depending on your organization's timeline and budget. Contract placements offer flexibility; full-time placements provide continuity and deeper investment in your systems and team culture.
