Before you go there, understand that there are a lot of "engineers" that only know / understand 10 or 15 year old technology because that is what is being taught in colleges.

I have seen many so called computer and network engineers resumes come across my desk that don't have the skills required to hit the ground running. While the people are trainable, I do not have budgets nor the can I afford the time loss to get these people up to speed.

Oh, and I hold the two top certifications in my field of computer network security and continue to deliver for Fortune 200 companies in addition to running a team of 19 engineers. I am most certainly NOT an HR hiring manager.

Why would a smart engineer want to work for you? In a few years, when looking for another job, he will have the same skill set as now and experience in doing "more of the same." Likely, unemployable.

"I am most certainly NOT an HR hiring manager."

With that risk adverse / zero-investment mindset, I'd say you are definitely more of an administrator, and a lot LESS of a Businessman/person or Leader.
