Do cert actually matter in candidate pick? Or just for profile on linkedin?
I'd assume you're more likely to get an interview, and it would probably be viewed higher than someone without.
Not essential, but advantageous.
It'll get you past the AI for human eyes to land on the resume. But having hired a lot of IT guys in the past, I would take experience and no certs over certs and no experience.
To take that a little further, I recruit on enthusiasm, experience then certs last.
There's too many “experts” out there that I might not be able to fire due to employment laws.
Certs are what I'd train my team for, to show to our clients.
Well, in tech, if you have experience, that tends to be the biggest deal by far and can often do all the lifting on its own. But hiring managers also appreciate certs and formal education, especially if you don't yet have much experience.
It would likely give you an advantage Vs some other person they're considering with your level of experience.
I do believe that some companies look at certs for sysadmin roles. As a requirement not a boost and you'd likely need more than just Linux certs then. Probably also some Cisco and stuff.
