Building out Cloud, DevOps, and SRE capability to support AWS and Azure migration programmes across North America and Europe.
A technology services organisation engaged CoreTalentsHub after securing several enterprise cloud migration programmes across North America and Europe.
The client had committed to multiple customer projects involving AWS and Azure migrations, cloud infrastructure modernization, automation initiatives, and operational readiness programmes — creating an immediate requirement for Cloud Architects, DevOps Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers, Cloud Security Specialists, Platform Engineers, AWS Engineers, and Azure Engineers.
Several positions were supporting active migration projects, meaning delays in hiring could directly impact customer delivery schedules. The client required professionals who could contribute quickly and who had previously worked within production cloud environments.
While many candidates held cloud certifications, significantly fewer had practical experience delivering complex cloud migration programmes at enterprise scale, so the client needed a focused search process capable of identifying experienced cloud professionals without overwhelming hiring managers with unsuitable applications.
The search focused on professionals already working within cloud consulting firms, technology service providers, and enterprise organisations undergoing large-scale cloud transformations. Rather than concentrating solely on certification credentials, greater emphasis was placed on real-world project experience, migration complexity, stakeholder exposure, and automation capability.
Before submission, each candidate was assessed on recent project work, technical expertise, availability, compensation expectations, and long-term suitability. Weekly calls with technical leadership and HR teams reviewed interview feedback and market conditions, ensuring decisions were made quickly and candidate engagement remained strong throughout the process.
By the end of the project, the client had filled the critical positions required to support several active migration programmes, allowing cloud delivery teams to continue project execution without disruption and maintain planned customer delivery schedules.
Throughout the assignment, market intelligence reports gave the client valuable insight into salary expectations, candidate availability, and competitor hiring activity.
