Elastacloud has worked with Hancock and Parsons since its inception over a decade ago. Their level of service and extended network in the field of cloud and data is vast. They were the first Azure recruiters in the UK where other recruiters had no knowledge of the cloud and or understood it's significance. Chris and Joe have also sponsored the Azure community since its inception in 2010 and supported it through the years to see it grow in the burgeoning community it is today.

During my time as founder and MD of CoreAzure, Hancock and Parsons were our go-to recruitment partner. Joe and his team delivered fantastic candidates time and again, which allowed us to grow the business year on year ultimately to a successful exit. If you are a Microsoft Partner that is looking to grow, then I strongly recommend you engage with Joe and his team.

As a final‑year Bachelor of Business Informatics student majoring in Data Structures, Econometrics, and Human–Computer Interaction, I bring a blend of technical depth and user‑centric systems design to every engagement. I am currently building towards the Azure AI Fundamentals certification, with a focused pathway toward becoming an Azure AI Associate and Data Scientist. Alongside my academic journey, I have three years of specialized technical recruitment experience, partnering with Data Architects, Data Engineers, AI Engineers, and Software Developers/Architects. My market exposure spans South Africa, the DACH region, and the UK giving me a broad, international understanding of talent, technology trends, and business needs across key innovation hubs. This combined technical and market insight enables me to align clients with the right expertise while understanding the real-world challenges modern data‑driven organizations face.

Hi! I'm Lewis, an Azure recruiter at Hancock & Parsons. I'm a huge lover of all things IT & tech, especially when it comes to hardware, I thoroughly enjoy building PC's (I'm definitely due an upgrade soon). I hold the AZ-900, which I successfully accomplished in March 2025. Currently, I'm studying for the AZ-104. Azure is a truly amazing vast ecosystem of different tools and services. I love learning more about Azure everyday, and continue to do so. I connect talented professionals with exciting Azure-focused opportunities.
