Genesys CLOUD EXPERIENCE IS A MUST

General Challenges
We have been struggling with both roles due to:

Candidates having primarily on-prem Genesys Engage experience instead of Genesys Cloud.

Limited candidates who meet the required years of hands-on cloud experience.

Clearance requirements narrowing the talent pool.

1. Senior Genesys Cloud Engineers (2 openings)
Key Requirements

5 years of Genesys Cloud experience preferred.

- 3 years is acceptable and considered strong given market limitations.

Candidates must have hands-on engineering experience, not just support.

Must be able to hit the ground running with minimal hand-holding.

Strong communication skills-they will often be in meetings alone and must communicate effectively with various stakeholders.

Experience leading or driving projects is preferred.

Must have implemented at least 3 channels in Genesys Cloud:

- Email

- Voice

- Outbound

- (Inbound voice alone is not enough-too basic.)

If they have strong communication skills and multi-channel experience on other platforms but only 1-2 years in Genesys Cloud, we will still consider them.

Common Issues Encountered

Many resumes show 15-20 years of Genesys Engage (on-prem) and very little cloud experience.

Candidates lacking true hands-on experience or project ownership.

We need engineers who can quickly learn Maximus standards and perform with minimal oversight.

Pipeline

Currently one candidate who passed the first screening and may be a solid fit. No other viable resumes.
