Hiring Challenges We Solve
Production vs. development DBAs
A production DBA who lives in high availability, backups, and tuning is a different professional from a database developer who writes procedures. Hiring the wrong one leaves a real gap.
The skills that matter only show under pressure
Disaster recovery, performance triage, and corruption handling are exactly the abilities a resume can't prove — and the ones you most need to be real.
A scarce, specialized market
Strong, current SQL Server DBAs are a narrow talent pool. Reaching them takes targeted, credible outreach, not a job-board posting.
How We Screen
Production-depth scoping
We define whether you need production administration, development, performance tuning, or architecture — and source for that exact profile across on-prem and Azure SQL.
HA, DR, and tuning experience
We evaluate concrete experience with high availability, backup and recovery, and performance tuning — the work that actually protects your data.
Crisis judgment
We screen for how candidates have handled real database incidents, because composure and judgment under pressure separate strong DBAs from the rest.
Direct-hire stewardship
Your data deserves a permanent steward. We place full-time DBAs who own your database estate long term.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you recruit only SQL Server DBAs?
SQL Server is a core specialty, but we also place database engineers, developers, performance specialists, and cloud/Azure SQL DBAs, plus DBAs working across other major platforms.
Can you find DBAs with high availability and disaster recovery depth?
Yes. We specifically screen for real HA/DR, backup and recovery, and performance-tuning experience rather than general database familiarity.
Are these permanent placements?
Yes. Sankorin places direct-hire, full-time database professionals only.
Do you recruit cloud and Azure SQL DBAs?
Yes — including Azure SQL, managed instances, and hybrid database environments.
