What We Place

From Ground-Up Builds to Steady-State Operations

Whether you're commissioning a new hyperscale facility, scaling an enterprise data center, or building out an operations team — we place the specialized talent that keeps critical infrastructure running without compromise.

Our team understands the unique demands of data center environments: uptime requirements, critical systems expertise, commissioning standards, and the specific blend of physical and digital skills these facilities require.

Infrastructure Placements That Kept Facilities Running

Hyperscale On-Time Go-Live
Staffing a 40 MW Commissioning Program for a Tier III Colo Provider

The Challenge

A major colocation provider needed a commissioning manager, two MEP engineers, and a DCIM analyst in 30 days — nine months out from a 40 MW hall go-live. No existing team was in place.

What We Did

We matched our data center talent network against the facility's Tier III commissioning standards. All four candidates had direct hyperscale experience — not generalists placed into a specialized environment.

Replacing a Critical Systems Team After Rapid Turnover at an Enterprise Data Center

The Challenge

An enterprise financial services firm lost three critical systems engineers in 60 days due to a competitive counteroffer wave. Uptime SLAs were at risk within 30 days.

What We Did

We moved immediately into an expedited search — mapping the existing team's skill gaps, the facility's power and cooling architecture, and the internal compensation structure to prevent repeat turnover. Three replacement engineers were placed and onboarding within 19 days.

"Commissioning a hyperscale facility requires people who've actually done it before. Discovery IT Group found us candidates with direct Tier III experience — not engineers who'd read about it in a manual. The difference was immediately visible."

Our Process

How We Staff Data Center Roles

Facility & Project Scoping

We learn your facility type, criticality tier, project phase, and operational requirements before we search.

Specialized Talent Search

We search specifically within the data center and critical infrastructure talent market — not general engineering pools.

Technical & Safety Screening

Every candidate is screened against your facility's specific standards, certifications, and safety requirements.

Placement & Ongoing Support

We remain engaged post-placement — critical for roles where early turnover creates operational risk.
