An executive recruitment firm that connects senior leaders with hiring organisations came to Armakuni for a phased AWS modernisation and a controlled path to agent-based recruiter workflows.
The challenge
The firm needed to reduce third-party reliance, improve cloud governance, and ready its platform for AI adoption without affecting ongoing placements. An ageing Landing Zone with inconsistent logging and monitoring limited visibility into compliance posture; a vendor-managed EKS-as-a-Service model restricted access to deployment logs and release transparency; monitoring signals were fragmented across accounts; and core hiring activities still relied on spreadsheets and email coordination.
Scale: Executive search connecting senior leaders with hiring organisations through structured resume screening, job matching, and interview coordination.
What we built
Armakuni delivered a phased AWS modernisation and a controlled path to agent-based recruiter workflows. The engagement ran as a phased AWS modernisation programme: RAPID migration assessment, Landing Zone Accelerator rollout, governance by design, EaaS pipeline replacement, cost and operational visibility, and agent-based recruiter workflows.
The outcomes
4 measurable outcomes shipped across the engagement. The ones that moved the business the most:
100% of vendor dependency removed. Bringing the EKS deployment pipeline in-house gave the team full release transparency and faster troubleshooting, with no third-party vendor in the path.
90% faster environment setup. An automated, governed multi-account Landing Zone stands up new environments in minutes rather than days, with guardrails and standardised logging built in.
Phased migration delivered in three months. The platform modernised on AWS without disrupting ongoing placements or live recruiter activity.
90% of routine recruiter tasks automated. Agent-based workflows handle job-description drafting, candidate summaries, follow-ups, and scheduling, while recruiters keep final review and hiring decisions.
Built on AWS
The production environment runs on 6 first-party AWS services. Delivered under our AWS Migration and Modernization Consulting, DevOps Consulting competencies.
What's next
Expanding agent-based workflows across the recruiter lifecycle while keeping final review and hiring decisions with recruiters, and deepening cost and governance automation.
