Talent solutions

Four ways to hire through us.

Datacenter People delivers talent solutions through permanent, contract, executive search and project resourcing, often all four for the same client.

01

Permanent

We cover the whole spectrum of the industry; from the plant room to the board room; from people involved in designing, constructing and operating data centers to those selling data center capacity; from cloud engineers to ICT professionals. Our specialist consultants constantly monitor the market and maintain close relationships with our clients to make sure we supply the right candidates with the right niche skills.

  • Plant room to board room
  • Niche technical skills
  • Career-long relationships
02

Contract, interim & staff augmentation

We can provide data center professionals prepared to go anywhere at short notice for specialist roles in design engineering, construction, project management, cost management, document control, or ICT. We can assemble and deploy teams in days, “parachuting” them into project situations, in full compliance with local tax, immigration and employment regulations.

  • Teams deployed in days
  • Resources on tap
  • Locally compliant
03

Executive search

Finding the ideal candidate for your executive board, a senior team or a specialist position requires consultants with an intimate inside knowledge of the data center industry and the digital economy it supports. Each assignment involves discreet and confidential discussions on both sides, managed by a consultant with the network to find the right person.

  • C-level & board
  • Discreet & confidential
  • Sector-expert led
04

Project resource solutions

Whether you are hiring a project team to build and commission a new data center, or an engineering team to mobilise a new data center into live operation, whether it is a team of 10 or a team of 25, we deliver a comprehensive, end-to-end talent acquisition solution: the resources when they are needed, in the number required.

  • Build & commission
  • Mobilise to live
  • Teams of 10–25+

What clients say

Hiring managers on working with us.

“We engaged Datacenter People to help hire the operations engineering team to run our new Berlin data center. With a go live date set for March 2025 it was essential that we had the team in place ahead of schedule and with Datacenter People’s help we were able to achieve this. Being a new site location for maincubes, Datacenter People were able to help us with advice on salaries for the Berlin market. The speed with which they delivered suitable candidates was impressive and Ashley’s communication and reporting throughout the recruitment project was first class.”
Stephan HarrenHead of Operations, maincubes
“We partnered with Datacenter People to undertake a particularly challenging and large scale hire in Hong Kong. DCP showed great knowledge of the Hong Kong data centre market and sourced a number of strong candidates in record timing. This allowed our team to focus on the later stages of recruitment: interviewing and selecting the right candidates who had the best fit with our corporate values and displayed world-class data centre capabilities. My experience working with Datacenter People was extremely positive and I feel they added great value not just to us, but also to our client.”
Andy HobbsExecutive Director, Data Centre Solutions, APAC, CBRE
“One thing we have enjoyed, and which is actually a breath of fresh air, is Datacenter People understand our industry and the data center market. It makes it so much easier when they understand the type of clients we work with, the environment of working on project sites, the unique/niche skill set these candidates have, and what makes someone successful in this type of work because it is so unique. The candidates they have presented to us so far for a variety of roles have been mainly passive candidates with top notch skill sets.”
Mandy WehnerHuman Resources, Olsson
