DevOps

The ever-competitive DevOps talent market is entering a new era – is your business prepared? Persistent skill gaps and widespread digital transformation are proving difficult to navigate for today’s hiring managers, especially when it comes to hiring DevOps engineers.

DevOps is the workflow management philosophy that changed tech jobs forever back in 2007. Seventeen (or so) years later, the once-radical way of working is still evolving.

It’s evolving quickly too, making it tough to pinpoint the kind of talent that will suit your company’s unique needs. Thankfully, the specialist DevOps recruiters at Trust in SODA have a wealth of experience in connecting top DevOps talent with the opportunities they need to shine. 

This means helping leaders design their workplace for difference. DevOps is an inherently intersectional way of working that thrives on diversity – it’s what inspired us to launch our Women in DevOps community back in 2017!

When you partner with Trust in SODA, you gain access to our global community network, enabling you to broaden the talent pool like never before. If you’re looking for consistency, speed, quality, diversity, and sustainability in your hiring partner, our DevOps specialists have you covered.

Partnering with Trust in SODA, Capgemini benefited from dedicated resources, tailored searches, specialized teams, and a global network. SODA quickly became a top supplier, exceeding hiring targets annually and supporting high-volume projects for major clients like Deliveroo, John Lewis, EDF, and public sector organisations.

ComAve was experiencing serious growth and had no talent or HR function. Trust in SODA (part of Trinnovo Group) started with recruiting the HR team and then became the talent function. Setting the strategy for all five of their businesses, we provided a linked ecosystem for talent attraction and management. 

We successfully recruited in 38 roles across Sales, Technology, Engineering, Operations and Marketing, from Junior to C Suite including the COO, across Europe, covering Eastern Europe, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and France, as well as the UK.

One of the most important requirements to our client was speed of delivery, and the SODA team have delivered every time. Our EHS solution streamlines the recruitment process to secure business-critical hires faster.
