    What hiring in Atlanta actually looks like

    Rapid capacity growth against a comparatively small pool of experienced critical facilities staff, so passive sourcing does most of the work.

    Interconnection-heavy downtown facilities need network and NOC talent, while the outer-county sites need construction and commissioning coverage.
