About Benjamin Applewhaite

• Manchester
• Cloud, Infrastructure, SRE & DevOps

An experienced Cloud & Infrastructure recruitment consultant, I specialise in connecting top talent with forward thinking organisations. Whether it’s helping clients secure their next standout hire or supporting candidates in finding their ideal role, I’m passionate about making meaningful, long-term matches.

I'm always open to expanding my network within the cloud and infrastructure space and welcome new connections, whether you're looking to grow your team or take the next step in your career.

I specialise in recruiting across the following core areas, for both contract and permanent positions:

• Systems Administrator / Cloud Engineer / Infrastructure Engineer / DevOps Engineer / Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)
• Network Administrator / Network Engineer / Network Architect
• Senior Cloud Engineer / Senior Infrastructure Engineer / Solutions Architect / Enterprise Architect
• IT Infrastructure Manager / Cloud Services Manager / DevOps Manager

Favourite part of my job:
I’ve always had a natural curiosity about people and how things work, which is why recruitment felt like the perfect career path for me. I genuinely love meeting new people, learning what drives them, and understanding how I can help them take the next step in their careers. That inquisitive nature, paired with a strong desire to make a positive impact, is what fuels my approach every day.

There’s something incredibly rewarding about being entrusted with someone’s next career move or a company’s next key hire/s. Whether it’s helping a candidate land a role that changes their life or providing clients with the right talent to solve real business challenges, I see recruitment not just as a job, but as a responsibility and a privilege.

Working in the ever-evolving world of cloud and infrastructure, I get to combine my passion for people with my understanding of a fast-paced, technical landscape, delivering real, long-term value on both sides of the hiring process.
