DevOps Engineer Recruiters

The Role of A DevOps Engineer

DevOps engineers play a crucial role in their organizations, with their main goal being to bridge the gap between the IT operations and software development teams.

In doing so, they aid in the creation of a more efficient software development lifecycle. DevOps engineers automate processes, implement and manage DevOps practices, and run analytics to ensure that systems run well. They are responsible for tasks such as provisioning infrastructure, deploying code, monitoring, troubleshooting, and system administration. Additionally, DevOps engineers perform tests and routine maintenance on systems, and diagnose and address issues should they arise.

Successful DevOps engineers typically have a range of technical and soft skills that aid them in their work.

Perhaps one of the most important technical skills for DevOps engineers to have is the ability to program and script for various platforms, in programming languages like Java or Python. They also need experience in automation tools and methods, like CI/CD pipelines, and familiarity with platforms such as Aure, GCP, and AWS. Some of the most important soft skills to have in the DevOps sector include excellent communication, the ability to collaborate successfully, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and self-discipline – especially when doing remote work.

DevOps engineers are in high demand due to the increasing need for organizations to implement faster software, improve their automation, and manage their resources efficiently in cloud environments. More and more companies are also embracing cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

However, while DevOps engineers are in demand, it can be difficult for organizations to find and hire the right candidates for their staffing needs due to the global shortage of DevOps professionals. An increasing number of organizations are turning to staffing agencies like Keller to assist them in their search.

Our recruiters are known for their vast experience and qualifications (both academic and professional) in the executive search sector. We also boast access to an international network of active and passive candidates, gained through our recognized NPAworldwide partnership. We utilize this network, alongside our expertise, to provide our clientele with top-tier DevOps talent.

Our Approach to DevOps Engineer Recruitment

As a leading DevOps recruiting agency, Keller employs experts who work closely with its clients to fully grasp the essence of their organization, its values and company culture, as well as their specific needs when it comes to hiring a new DevOps engineer. Keller’s team has a meeting with the client and other key employees, like their hiring manager, to establish which traits our client looks for in new members of their computer science or IT team. This includes their desired personality and work ethic for professionals applying for their open position.

This in-depth understanding allows our expert team to find high-quality candidates with the right skills and experience to complete your DevOps team. We do this by undertaking a rigorous search as part of our recruiting strategy, to ensure that we match our clients with the right candidates. During our search, we carefully hand-pick the professionals that seem to match our client’s requirements, both from conventional platforms such as job boards as well as our global network.

Once we have selected a group of professionals, they undergo a meticulous screening process. During this process, we employ thorough professional and criminal background checks to confirm the validity of their resumes and work history. We also make use of psychometric testing to determine things like each candidate’s personality type, work ethic, and even leadership style.

The candidates who successfully pass our vetting are compiled in a shortlist and given to the client so that they may continue with their interview questions, make a final hiring decision, and provide a job offer.

Why Keller Uses A Tailored DevOps Recruitment Approach

Keller’s experts boast many years of first-hand experience recruiting the best candidates in the DevOps sector. These experiences have all influenced the way our team goes about the executive search process, but one experience stands out for being particularly influential in building the tailored approach we use today.

During Keller’s first few years working as a recruiting agency, we served a small client base limited to organizations with very similar needs. For this reason, the generic method we used worked well and yielded satisfactory results. However, over time, our agency and client base grew. This meant that we were approached by larger and larger companies. One client, a particularly big and influential organization, engaged our services to help them find an executive.

Used to the success we had achieved in the past, our team employed the same cookie-cutter approach to this search. To our surprise, however, the candidates we selected were not up to our client’s standards. On paper they seemed suited to the position due to their qualifications and experience, but in practice the candidates did not possess the personality traits needed to learn new skills, manage their resources, and lead their team to success.

This experience was challenging but it taught us valuable lessons such as the many limitations of using a generic approach. It also showed us the importance of tailoring our approach to each client we serve for the optimal results.

Since adopting this customized approach Keller has built an enduring reputation for reliability and quality. We have also contributed to the field by aiding in shaping the way executive search is understood, which had a lasting impact on the recruitment industry.

Keller’s Guarantee

While we go to great lengths to ensure we provide our clients with the right candidates for their needs, we acknowledge that even our tailored approach won’t be successful 100% of the time. For this reason, we provide the companies we serve with an added assurance:

Keller guarantees providing clients with a more suitable replacement for any candidate who is deemed unsuitable or decides to leave their role during the first three months of their employment. Provided the issue is brought to our attention within the first 90 days of hiring the candidate, this replacement will be free of charge.
