DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS AND SKILL SETS
The more automation an organization can effectively apply to its various processes, the more efficient and productive it will become. Automation specialists examine current systems and then design automated improvements that streamline those systems, freeing up personnel and resources for other productive activities.

For hiring managers, the word “specialist” should be at the forefront of their recruiting efforts. Automation specialists will likely specialize in certain areas of expertise and education. If you are looking to automate a manufacturing process, for example, you will want to hire an individual with education and experience in manufacturing. A candidate specializing in document processing and automation will likely struggle with an assembly line role.
