How Hiring a Dedicated Linux Administrator Works
From the requirements call to servers that are patched, hardened and monitored. Here is how we vet, match and onboard every Linux administrator we place.
Vetting, matching and onboarding, in that order
Every administrator is tested on real server operations
Before an administrator joins our bench, they are tested on patching and hardening fundamentals, access management, and a hands-on task diagnosing a misconfigured service under simulated load.
- Patching and hardening fundamentals.
- User and access management.
- A real service-misconfiguration diagnosis task.
You get a shortlist, not a resume pile
We match administrators to your specific setup: the distributions you run, the platform they sit on, and the timezone overlap that works for your team. You see 2 to 3 fitting profiles, not fifty.
- Matched to the distributions you run.
- Matched to your hosting platform.
- Matched to your working hours.
A structured start, then you take the lead
The administrator reviews your servers and current patch status, agrees priorities with you, and starts on the first fix in the first week. You manage priorities directly from there.
- A review of your servers and patch status.
- Agreed priorities for the first sprint.
- Direct day-to-day management by your team.
