How does the recruitment process for DevOps engineers actually work?
Hi,
I have a question for those who have been involved in recruiting DevOps engineers.
It seems that the term is somewhat misleading due to the sheer range of skills and backgrounds required in a functioning DevOps culture i.e., One DevOps engineer could have completely different qualifications to another, save for a mutual understanding of DevOps and how it works. I even heard one engineer say that he hates the term because it mostly exists for the benefit of recruiters.
My question is this: when you need someone with a specific skillset, would you even look for DevOps engineers specifically, or is this something you would expect the candidate to pick up once they join? e.g., recruiting for a software developer position and mentioning your DevOps culture in the job description but not the job requirements.
Would you use terms to look for a specific type of DevOps engineer?
Would you even say you are looking for a 'DevOps engineer', or would this attract the wrong kind of candidate?
