DevOps

Devops was identified as an area that needed to hire at pace for a specific FS project requiring engineers across the UK.

The client's existing recruitment process consisted of 3+ F2F stages including a 6-8 hour test executing on approximately 2 hires per month.

CVs were taking an average of 63 days to source and the roles were taking an average of 82.8 days to fill.

Identified with their recruitment partner that to execute in sufficient numbers BAU would not work and a faster, more scalable process needed to introduced to enable “always on” market presence and recruitment activity.

BAU interviewing in Devops replaced with a weekly “one stop” assessment process.

Candidates pre-qualified by sourcing team then passed to “Talent Champion” within Devops for a 20-30 min prescreen.

If passing prescreen candidate then to be booked into an available AC slot within 72 hours.

Candidates then completed 1 hour technical challenge “homework” to use at interview for consistent technical discussion.

AC split into communications with 2 Talent Champions doing Technical (1 hour) before pivoting to another 2 for Competencies/Values (1 hour)

Washup held at 4pm with recruitment team which all interviewed candidates being evaluated in terms of who would be successful or who may be more suited to another role.

If more than one hiring manager is interested, candidate encouraged to have a follow up call to choose the option which they believe is right for them. This recognises that the key is the client hiring the talent not individual teams.
