How to find a system administrator: where we search

There are plenty of sysadmin CVs on job sites, and the main difficulty is picking a responsible specialist with the right experience. We search on open resources, in our own database and in specialised messenger groups. Your personal recruiter checks the candidates' professional and personal qualities and their motivation, so the people who come to your interview match the requirements.

Personal interviews take place in Kyiv and Lviv; with candidates from other cities of Ukraine we talk online. Office support roles have a wider pool of candidates; experienced server administrators take longer to find.

Sysadmin, website administrator or IT director

If the main task is the company website, its updates, hosting and access, a website administrator fits better. If you need to build the whole IT function, its budget and contractors, look for an IT director, and the sysadmin joins their team. When the company runs an accounting system, a 1C programmer is often hired together with the sysadmin. If the person cannot be employed on your staff, use outstaffing: they work for you while employed by the agency.

What we need from you to start

Send these details with the request, and we agree the candidate profile at the brief:

  • how many users, offices and servers you have, which operating systems and services you use;
  • tasks for the first months: support, an office move, backups, security;
  • schedule: full-time or part-time, whether on-site visits and on-call duty are needed;
  • work format: office, remote or hybrid, and the city;
  • the salary range and who runs the technical interview.

All IT roles of the agency are on the selection of IT specialists page.
