Questions

AI hiring questions.

Which AI and ML roles do you recruit for?

ML engineers, GenAI and LLM engineers, applied scientists, MLOps engineers, AI product managers and product roles, and AI leaders.

How do you assess technical depth?

We review what candidates have built and deployed, and how they approach data and evaluation. We ask what they have shipped: production deployments, system design and the trade-offs they made, and we look for specifics rather than keywords. Your team then runs its own interviews.

Can you help us hire our first AI team?

Yes. We usually start with the lead or founding engineer, then plan the next hires together.

How are AI recruitment fees structured?

Fees depend on the role, seniority, number of positions and engagement model. Terms are shared in writing before the search begins.

Do you hire GenAI and LLM engineers?

Yes. These roles are new, so we assess on what a candidate has built with models, including retrieval, evaluation and deployment.

Can you build a full AI team for a GCC or startup?

Yes. For several roles at once we use dedicated hiring, with a shared plan for sequencing leaders and engineers.
