While SQL databases are still predominant, NoSQL knowledge is increasingly valuable. Look for candidates with experience in both, as many organizations use a mix of SQL and NoSQL databases depending on their needs.

Besides SQL, proficiency in languages like Python, Java, or C# is beneficial. These are often used for database-related tasks, stored procedures, and integrating databases with applications.

Present them with real-world scenarios involving database design challenges or performance issues. Ask them to walk you through their thought process and potential solutions.

Look for candidates with knowledge of data encryption, access control mechanisms, and experience implementing security best practices. They should understand concepts like SQL injection prevention and secure authentication methods.

Cloud database experience is increasingly crucial as many organizations move to cloud-based solutions. Look for familiarity with platforms like Amazon RDS, Azure SQL Database, or Google Cloud SQL.

Key soft skills include strong communication abilities, teamwork, attention to detail, and the capacity to explain complex database concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Ask them to design a database schema for a hypothetical application. Look for their ability to create efficient, normalized designs that meet business requirements and follow best practices.

Seek candidates with experience in planning and executing data migrations between different database systems. They should be familiar with ETL processes and tools, and able to ensure data integrity during migrations.
