The challenge: hire a DevSecOps quickly

🔴 The rise of freelancing: DevSecOps and DevOps experts are rare and in high demand, with many preferring freelance work over permanent roles.

🔴 A tight market: take a strategic, tailored approach to find an experienced profile (5+ years) in a competitive market.

Slimpay's objectives

• Identify a qualified DevSecOps, technically and culturally aligned with SlimPay.
• Reduce time-to-hire so we don't miss out on the best candidates.
• Ensure a smooth and lasting onboarding for the candidate.

Our approach

1️⃣ Decode the client's expectations

• Detailed kick-off with SlimPay's managers to understand the needs, refine the criteria, and adapt the search.
• Flexibility on seniority: rather than only targeting highly experienced candidates, we advised SlimPay to open the search to less senior but high-potential candidates.

2️⃣ Adapt to market constraints

• Targeted, proactive approach: we activated our network and identified candidates who weren't actively looking but whose interest could be sparked.
• Highlighting the opportunity: emphasize the technical depth of the role, the work environment, and the stability of a permanent role to win over candidates often tempted by freelancing.

3️⃣ A streamlined process focused on efficiency

• Weekly meetings with SlimPay to adjust the strategy in real time.
• Fast, iterative feedback to never slow down the hiring process.
• Highly targeted candidate presentation: less volume, more quality.
