About The Role Reboot Monkey operates 24 datacenter facilities across 6 continents.

As DCT Recruitment Specialist for the
EMEA — covering Europe, Middle East, and Africa , your job is to build and maintain a world-class DCT pool in your region. You are not a generic recruiter — you need to
deeply understand what makes a great datacenter technician . You know the difference between someone who can rack a server properly and someone who will strip a screw on the first try.
This role requires someone who has either
worked as a DCT
or
managed DCTs directly . You must know the work inside and out — structured cabling, cross-connects, hardware installs, decommissions, labeling standards, hot/cold aisle management.
What You'll Do
Source, screen, and recruit Data Center Technicians across facilities in the EMEA region
Conduct technical screening interviews — assess hands‑on DC skills, not just resume keywords
Build and maintain a vetted DCT pool organized by location, skill level, availability, and reliability score
Verify technician credentials: certifications, references, and work history
Create and maintain DCT skill assessments and practical evaluation criteria
Coordinate onboarding of new DCTs: facility access, safety protocols, SOP training
Track DCT performance after deployment — build a feedback loop with the operations team
Continuously expand our DCT coverage to new markets and facilities in your region
Manage relationships with DCT staffing agencies where we use them
Maintain our DCT database with up‑to‑date availability, skills, and performance ratings

Compensation and Terms
Monthly retainer: EUR 600–1,000 depending on experience
Arrangement: Freelance / Contractor — you invoice us monthly
Hours: Full‑time, 40 hours/week

Reference check — One call with a previous employer or client
Decision — Within 1 week of completing the trial task
Why This Role Matters Our DCTs are the hands and eyes of our company at every facility worldwide. A great DCT delights clients. A bad one loses them. You are the quality gate that ensures only A‑players join our technician pool in your region.
If you have datacenter experience and a talent for identifying top technical talent, we want to talk.
Apply with Your CV, a brief note on your DC/recruitment experience, and your availability to start.
