Platform Engineer Staffing FAQs

Why is it challenging to hire platform engineers?

Platform engineers require expertise in developer platforms, cloud services, and reliability engineering. Many are highly sought-after and not actively applying on job boards, making them hard to find without a staffing agency.

What’s the difference between direct hire and contingent staffing for platform engineers?

Direct hire fills long-term, permanent roles, while contingent staffing provides flexible contract engineers for projects, migrations, or scaling needs.

Should I use a staffing agency to hire talent?

Using a staffing agency means you gain a partner who understands your business, your technology stack, and your urgency. Our team works as an extension of yours, connecting you with the specialized talent needed to keep projects moving.

How does Hunter ensure quality in SRE staffing?
