For datacentre operators

Senior DC engineers on site in days — not in six-week recruitment cycles.

Riviot is a curated talent marketplace for critical infrastructure professionals — vetted by our Vio engine under the VIO-10 framework. Built for colocation operators, Tier-2/3 datacentre providers, and build-out partners staffing hyperscaler tenant fit-outs. Every candidate is reviewer-approved, MSA-ready, and indemnified.

No retainer. No per-CV fees. 18 % marketplace fee on placed hours, or fixed placement fee on permanent hires.
Built for
  • Colocation operators (Equinix, Digital Realty tenants)
  • Tier-2/3 regional datacentre providers
  • Hyperscaler build-out partners
  • Critical-infrastructure consultancies
  • MSPs running hyperscaler tenant fit-outs
Talent we place
  • Senior network engineers (BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, leaf-spine)
  • Datacentre mechanical / electrical engineers
  • Cloud architects (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • OT / ICS cybersecurity engineers
  • AV integration engineers (Crestron, QSC, Cisco)

The staffing problem you actually have.

You won a 14 MW tenant. You have 90 days. You need a senior network engineer who has actually deployed EVPN-VXLAN at scale, a DC engineer who has worked under a Tier-IV uptime SLA, and you need them indemnified, insured, and on site — fast. Generic talent marketplaces don't have these people. Recruiters take six weeks and send you LinkedIn scrapes. In-house hiring takes longer.

Speed

Average time from role brief to first reviewer-approved introduction: 4 working days.

Specificity

Vio doesn't score 'experience'. It scores complexity tier, ecosystem depth, and reproducible evidence.

Risk transfer

Riviot holds the MSA. Background-checked, ID-verified, E&O-insured talent. You contract once.

VIO-10 framework

Seven scoring dimensions. Four indices. Reviewer-approved.

Every Riviot talent passes a 15-minute structured assessment evaluated by our Vio engine across seven dimensions — career credibility, communication, certifications, vendor ecosystem depth, project evidence, scenario performance, and client readiness. The four derived indices (IEI, EDR, OCS, CRI) are the quantitative bar buyers cite when they want predictable on-site outcomes.

IEI
Infrastructure Evidence Index

Reproducible project evidence across sites, devices, racks, and complexity tiers.

EDR
Ecosystem Depth Rating

Demonstrated depth in Cisco, Juniper, Arista, AWS, Azure, Crestron, QSC and 80+ other vendor ecosystems.

OCS
Operational Complexity Score

Highest-tier environment the candidate has owned end-to-end — from change-windows to MOPs.

CRI
Client-Readiness Index

Stakeholder management, executive comms, and the soft skills that decide repeat engagements.

Commercial terms, plainly.
