One thing I've discovered when hiring people is if I'm not using things like kubernetes, I don't get (as many) candidates apply. I also don't get as good quality candidates, either.

I've found it does list them if you request the full report, but that the initial email doesn't. (note the last time I used this functionality was about 3 weeks ago, I accept it may have changed since then)

I worked for EDS from late 90s to early 00s and SAP was _everywhere_. Projects were scoped and framed as "how can we fit this into SAP?" - and not "how can SAP help this project?" SAP is/was virulent in nature. If y
