Talent shortage: your cloud team, ready in an instant
The cloud skills shortage is no longer a future concern, it’s today’s reality. Teams are stretched, roadmaps are delayed, and digital transformation goals are pushed back. All because the right talent is hard to find and even harder to hire quickly.
Finding the right match in cloud professionals
We don’t just train people in Salesforce, AWS, and ServiceNow, we prepare them to join your team and deliver real value from day one. Our candidates are selected for their drive, certified through industry-backed up programs, and coached to thrive in real work environments.
They’ve already done the onboarding. Which means you get to skip the technical onboarding process and start seeing progress faster than with a regular hire.
Easy to hire, ready to contribute
Hiring technical talent is tough, especially when you need cloud expertise fast. Our process is designed to make things easier:
- Certified in leading platforms like Salesforce, AWS, and ServiceNow
- Trained in both hard skills and workplace readiness
- Pre-vetted and ready to join your team immediately
There’s no upfront fee. You meet candidates, make your decision, and only move forward when it’s the right fit.
A smarter way to scale
Traditional recruitment often means long lead times, high fees, and generic candidates. Our approach flips the model:
- No agency fees upfront, only pay when a candidate is placed
- Minimal onboarding time, thanks to project-based and professional training
- Retention rates above 85% after 12 months
- Focus on cloud-functional roles, not general IT
When you need talent that understands your cloud stack, your pace, and your standards - we deliver.
Give your sales, marketing, and service teams the tools they need to excel. From CRM basics to advanced app development, we help your teams get the most out of Salesforce.

Frequently asked questions
Why is hiring cloud IT talent so difficult?
Cloud IT roles are among the hardest to fill due to high demand. Especially for expertise in leading platforms like AWS, Salesforce, and ServiceNow, competition is fierce. Companies often overpay or compromise on quality, only to face long onboarding times, fast turnover, and low retention.
How long does it take to hire a cloud engineer?
Hiring a cloud engineer can take up to 6 months on average, depending on your location and platform needs. That’s not including onboarding time.
What are the costs of hiring external cloud IT talent?
Hiring externally can cost up to 25% of a cloud engineer’s annual salary when you factor in recruitment, onboarding, and ramp-up time. These costs are for direct recruitment. If you go through a recruitment agency, you can incur additional costs of 20-30% of their annual salary on average.
What’s the alternative to hiring external cloud experts?
Upskilling your internal workforce is a scalable and cost-effective alternative. Instead of searching endlessly for external talent, you train existing employees in the platforms you already use on business processes they already understand.
How do I know if I should hire or upskill for cloud roles?
If your cloud projects are delayed, or if you’re waiting on HR for months to find the perfect candidate, it’s time to rethink your approach. In-house upskilling builds long-term cloud capabilities and reduces dependency on recruiters. But when internal capacity isn’t enough, hiring ready-to-deploy cloud professionals through Blue Road Academy gives you immediate access to diverse, certified talent. Trained in the same peer-driven model we use with enterprise teams. Whether you build or buy, we help you grow with confidence.
