The challenge is that the client wasn’t looking for a developer who just follows orders and writes code, instead, they wanted a developer who would participate in grooming requirements and then follow those requirements to craft solutions of his/her own design. Unfortunatley, their salary range was not competitive with the market so we had to source 1,501 candidates to find someone who doesn’t require sponsorship, willing to work within the salary range, and someone who was a entrepreneural. We ended up filling the role within about 4 weeks of receiving the req.

We met with the DevOps Engineering Manager to understand the technical environment, the team’s culture and the future growth of the team and company.
