In today's competitive job market, possessing technical expertise is crucial, but equally important are soft skills. Soft skills, which include communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence, are essential for professional success.
In the realm of scientific hiring, the emphasis has traditionally been placed on technical skills.

Increasingly, the importance of soft skills (for example interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving) are being recognised as crucial for scientific success. Finding the balance between technical skills and soft skills can significantly impact the effectiveness and harmony of scientific teams.
