Sam Collins

Heading up the Cloud, DevOps and Infrastructure division at Digital Gurus. I've spent years building a genuine network in this space. Real relationships with engineers, technical leaders and hiring managers who trust me enough to take my call, with 53 recommendations and counting.

The roles I work on are typically the ones that have already beaten everyone else. Senior, niche, technically complex positions where posting and praying doesn't work and where getting it wrong isn't an option. I fill them by knowing who the right people are before the role even exists.

What people tend to say about working with me is that I'm straight with them, I actually understand the space I recruit in, and I care about the outcome, not only the placement. I prep candidates properly. I give honest feedback.

I stay in touch when there's nothing in it for me. I fight corners when it matters, and if you work with me, you'll receive the same treatment.

Roles I cover: CTO · Group Head of Cloud · VP of Infrastructure/Cloud · Head of Infrastructure/Platform/DevOps · Director of SRE/Platform/DevOps · Cloud/DevOps Architect · Security Architect · SRE/DevOps Manager · Staff Automation Engineer · Lead DevOps Engineer · Senior Platform Engineer · Infrastructure Engineer · Lead Database Administrators

Technologies covered: Azure · Azure DevOps AWS · ECS · EC2 · Cloudwatch · CloudFormation · GCP · M365 · VMware · Linux · Containers · Databricks · CI/CD · Powershell · Python · Bash · Terraform · Redhat · AD · Maria DB · MySQL + More

I partner with businesses of all sizes, from growing fintechs and scale-ups with headcounts under 100, through to globally recognised brands known the world over. If the role is technical and hard to fill, the size of the business doesn't matter. If you're a candidate considering your next move, or a business that's struggling to find the right person, get in touch. I won't waste your time.
