I LoveCreatingBusinessesanddevelopingpeople
The European DevOps Market• Candidate driven market
• Contract Roles increasing month on month• Salaries rising
• Zero unemployment• Not enough experience & talent
• Traditional Ads & job boards have high failure rate
DevOps people…
Corporates and the hiring challenges
Lack of understanding and Job Specs are sparse and unconvincing
The HR process is out of date and not suitable
They are interviewed TOO! Hiring is Selling!
Where are the Change Wizards & Mentors from the Company?
Traditional Approaches – Don’t Work!• Top people always working
• Hopeless Spamming on LinkedIn- Bad Emails just create noise…..
- On average DevOps folk are being ‘hit’ twice a day- Moving away off LinkedIn- Poor Job Specs a killer for DevOps folk
• ‘Spray and Prey’ approach is having an effect on thecommunity
• Job boards response - Really! Honestly - DevOps!

DevOps Hiring Silos
Build a Culture of Engagement• Who cares about my development?• Do I get to do what I love every day?• Can I do what I do best - everyday?
Culture
• Corps find your magic people in the company- Who will enthral and excite the candidate ?
- Could it be the CTO/CIO- Who will buddy the short list?
- The new language of Open Source & DevOps- How will you Woo the candidate
- Job Spec and Company Website just don’t do itI’m afraid!
- Over Communicate in the process
