About

The Role

Reboot Monkey operates 24 datacenter facilities across 6 continents. Every one of those facilities needs reliable, skilled Data Center Technicians (DCTs) who can execute Smart Hands and Remote Hands work to our standard. The quality of our DCT pool is the single biggest factor determining whether clients stay or leave.

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

• DCT pool coverage: 2+ vetted technicians available per facility location in your region
• Time to fill:
  New DCT sourced and vetted within 5 business days for any location

• Screening accuracy:
  Less than 10% of hired DCTs fail their first assignment
• Pool growth:
  Net addition of 10+ vetted DCTs per month in your region

• Monthly retainer: EUR 600–1,000 depending on experience
• Arrangement:
  Freelance / Contractor — you invoice us monthly
• Hours:
  
  Full-time, 40 hours/week
• Time tracking:
  Hubstaff is required for all team members — this is how hours are verified for billing
• Performance reviews:
  Every 2 weeks for the first 3 months, then monthly. KPIs are shared upfront — no surprises.
• Payment:
  Monthly, on the 5th of each month for the previous month

• Application review — We review every application within 1–2 business days
• Initial video call with Michel (CEO) — 30 minutes. We want to hear about your experience and how you handle real-world scenarios.
