Why VMware & virtualisation talent is hard to find

Industry shift

Broadcom completed its acquisition of VMware in November 2023. The move to subscription licensing and VMware Cloud Foundation bundles has prompted many organisations to re-evaluate, consolidate or migrate their virtualised estates — creating demand for both deep VMware expertise and migration skills.

How we reach VMware & virtualisation specialists others miss

  1. Global specialist network

    Deep VMware skills are scarce in every market, so we search locally and across our global delivery network at the same time.

  2. Certification and version depth

    We check certification level (VCP, VCAP, VCDX) and hands-on experience with the specific versions and components you run.

  3. Migration-ready talent

    We identify engineers who have run real migrations — to Nutanix, Hyper-V, OpenShift or public cloud — not just greenfield builds.

  4. Project-ready contractors

    Contract specialists for upgrades, consolidation and migration waves, with options to convert to permanent.

FAQ

VMware & Virtualisation recruitment FAQs

Why are VMware skills in demand?

After Broadcom completed its acquisition of VMware in November 2023, licensing and packaging changes led many organisations to re-evaluate their virtualisation strategy. That has increased demand for VMware specialists to optimise existing estates and for migration experts to move workloads elsewhere.

Do you recruit VMware contractors for migration projects?

Yes. We place VMware engineers, architects and migration specialists on contract for upgrade, consolidation and migration programs, and on a permanent basis for ongoing platform teams.

Which VMware products do your candidates cover?

Our candidates cover vSphere/ESXi, vCenter, VMware Cloud Foundation, NSX, vSAN, Aria and Tanzu, plus VDI and migration targets such as Nutanix AHV, Hyper-V, OpenShift Virtualization and Azure VMware Solution.
