Uncovering the Top 1% in Engineering for the Top Jobs


In today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, the right engineering teams are the catalyst that drives innovation, efficiency, and growth. At TrustIn, we specialise in identifying and securing the top 1% of engineering leaders in DevOps and Security —professionals who not only possess exceptional technical skills but also have the vision and leadership abilities to

transform your organisation. Here’s how we find the best talent in the market.


1. In-Depth Technical Expertise


Our process begins with a deep understanding of the technical landscape through learning from our candidates and a commitment to a growth mindset.


The fields of DevOps and Security are constantly changing with new technologies and methodologies emerging at a rapid pace. This can be seen for example in the rapidly developing field of MLOps which is challenging the way we build infrastructure.


We leverage our expertise to:

  • Identify Key Technical Trends: We keep a close eye on the latest developments in DevOps, programming languages, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and other critical areas, ensuring our candidates are at the forefront of technological advancements.

  • Tailor Searches to Your Needs: We work closely with you to understand your specific technical requirements allowing us to send less CVs and place more engineers.


Our specialisation every day in this field allows us to find candidates who are true leaders in their fields, capable of driving technical excellence and innovation in your organisation.


2. Targeted Candidate Sourcing in Technical Leadership

Identifying the top 1% of technical leaders requires a targeted and strategic approach. Our sourcing strategy is designed to tap into the most relevant and high-caliber talent pools, ensuring that we identify candidates who are not only highly skilled but also aligned with your organisation’s needs.


  • Exclusive Networks: Over years of working in the technical leadership space, we have cultivated relationships with top-tier professionals in DevOps, Infrastructure, and Security . These connections give us access to candidates who may not be actively seeking new opportunities but are perfect fits for your organisation.

  • Advanced Data Analytics and Tools: We utilise sophisticated data analytics tools to assess candidate commitment and potential across platforms like GitHub, Stack Overflow, and LinkedIn, identifying those who have consistently demonstrated leadership in complex technical environments.

  • Focused Outreach: We don’t just rely on passive sourcing. We actively engage with high-potential candidates, discussing their career goals, technical expertise, and alignment with the challenges your organisation faces.


Our targeted approach ensures that we engage with the absolute best in the industry, delivering candidates who are not only technically proficient but also capable of leading in dynamic and challenging environments.


3. Rigorous Technical and Leadership Benchmarking

Once we have identified potential candidates, we subject them to a rigorous evaluation process that benchmarks their skills and experience against the highest industry standards:

  • Technical Assessments: We can conduct comprehensive technical assessments that test candidates on their ability to solve complex problems in DevOps, software development, and security.  We call on our extensive network to help us interview candidates who could be right for the top jobs.

  • Leadership Evaluation: We assess candidates’ ability to lead technical teams, focusing on their past performance in roles that require quick decision-making, innovation, and operational excellence.

  • Background of Company and Projects: We are aware of the top technical projects and companies in the world and map who is working on them to ensure that we keep engaging the best and ensure the quality of our network using our time efficiently.

  • Radical Transparency: We ask our candidates lots of questions to understand their ambitions and technical capability as well as the package and type of company that they are seeking so that we don’t waste the candidate or clients time. 


By benchmarking candidates against the toughest standards in the industry, we ensure that only the top 1% make it through our process.


4. Cultural and Organisational Fit


Technical skills are only part of the equation. A successful technical leader must also fit seamlessly into your organisation’s culture and align with its goals. At TrustIn, we take the time to understand your company’s unique culture and strategic vision, allowing us to find candidates who are a perfect fit for your team.


  • Strategic Alignment: We assess how well candidates’ long-term career goals align with your organisation’s strategic objectives, ensuring they are motivated to contribute to your success over the long term.

  • Cultural Compatibility: We evaluate candidates’ ability to integrate into your company’s culture, including their approach to teamwork, communication, and leadership.


This focus on cultural and organisational fit ensures that our candidates will not only succeed in their roles but also thrive in your specific business environment which enables tenure of our candidates and a focus on long term value creation.


5. Continuous Improvement and Feedback Integration

At TrustIn, our commitment to excellence doesn’t end with the placement of a candidate. We believe in continuous improvement, which is why we maintain close relationships with both clients and candidates long after the hiring process is complete:


  • Ongoing Support: We provide ongoing support to ensure a smooth transition for both the candidate and your organisation, addressing any challenges that arise and making adjustments as needed.

  • Feedback-Driven Refinement: We regularly seek feedback from our clients and candidates to refine our processes, ensuring we are always improving and staying ahead of industry trends.


This commitment to continuous improvement allows us to consistently deliver top-tier talent that exceeds expectations while constantly improving our partnerships to enable more efficient headhunting.
