Case Study: Recruit Wizard achieves daily, reliable deployments and faster shipping with Octopus Deploy

How Recruit Wizard scaled and moved to daily deployments with Octopus

Recruit Wizard, a small recruitment-software company serving Australia and New Zealand, struggled with manual, error-prone deployments (weekend releases, custom scripts, and Jenkins orchestration) and needed repeatability, automation, and fewer human mistakes. Recruit Wizard evaluated options and adopted Octopus Deploy to orchestrate deployments to Azure Kubernetes Service and some legacy virtual machines.

Using Octopus Deploy’s features — Deploy to Kubernetes steps, Runbooks, step templates and Configuration as Code (and Octopus Cloud) — Recruit Wizard automated and versioned its deployment processes, enabling branch-aligned deployment changes and safer rollouts. The result: they went from deploying quarterly to multiple times per day, significantly reduced production errors, empowered support with self-service runbooks, and scaled deployments as the product and integrations grew.
