Hiring and embedding new team members at Hyves

Abstract:

We stumbled into DevOps by accident five years ago, when nobody (including us) was aware that it was actually a cultural movement. We've been practicing with trial and error on how to go about this DevOps thing ever since...

How do you hire new team-members and embed them as fast as possible inside the organisation and get them up to speed ? Is there something like a devops profile for ops/devs candidates ? How do your developers find the right people within ops and vice versa ?

The talk will discuss how we organized our hiring process for operations / system engineering and how we embed new engineers as fast as possible in the organisation.
