Your Cloud Computing recruitment questions, answered 

Is it hard to find Cloud professionals in Japan right now? 

Yes. Recent years have accelerated everyone’s adoption of cloud computing, which means that the demand for Cloud professionals – in all sectors and industries – is at an all-time high.  However, this means that the already apparent skill gap is being further stretched.   

What should I look for in a Cloud professional when hiring?

From a technical perspective, skills and experience are key things to look out for. AWS, Azure, or public Cloud skills would be ideal for junior professionals, and a university degree in Computer Science, Technology, or similar fields wouldn’t hurt either.    
   
First-hand experience is critical, especially for DevOps engineers whose code your products and software will depend on. Make sure they come from a developer background (proprietary or open source), with provable understanding of best practices.    
   
But what truly sets Cloud and DevOps professionals apart are soft skills. These include the ability to manage technical teams and at the same time communicate challenges and solutions to non-technical stakeholders within the business.    

How can I assess a Cloud professional to make sure I hire the right person? 

First, understand their technical qualifications and skills from their CV and assess them if necessary, through a take-home or onsite test. Then, at the interview, ask them about the size and scale of Cloud environments they have built or managed, and go in-depth on their expertise on technology such as Azure, Google, and AWS.   
  
Focus also on assessing soft skills like communication and delivery. It’s also important to determine their appetite for learning and upskilling. Ask if they’re committed to learning about the latest Cloud developments and how they do this, to discover if they have a ‘growth mindset’.   
  
Lastly, don’t forget to assess for culture fit – you’ll want someone who will fit into the dynamics of your existing teams!
