Why we read it this way (6)

This is a contract-to-hire engagement placed by TEKsystems at Spelman College in Atlanta, GA. The posting notes hybrid flexibility may be available after the first 90 days, but the role starts onsite.

The 'Top Skills Details' section (Active Directory, Microsoft 365/Entra ID, VMware, Windows Server, MFA & SSO Administration) is treated as the hard-gate requirement list. The remaining skills — PowerShell, Veeam, Azure, SCCM/Intune, disaster recovery, and enterprise storage — appear only under 'Additional Skills & Qualifications' with language such as 'preferred' or 'a plus', so they are marked preferred.

A Bachelor's degree is listed as 'preferred', not required, so the degree requirement is set to None.

The 'II' in the title 'Windows System Administrator II' signals a mid-level role; the scope and responsibilities described are consistent with that band.

Microsoft and VMware certifications are mentioned as a plus — not captured as skills since they are credentials rather than named technologies.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
