AI Experts Recruitment
Most technical recruitment is keyword matching by people who cannot evaluate the answer. Our screening is run by the same engineers who deliver our consulting work, so a shortlist means something before you spend your team's time on it.
What you can rely on
The title is new, the signals are noisy, and most screening cannot tell the difference.
CV keywords have collapsed as a signal. Calling an API and building a system that stays correct under load are different jobs with the same job title.
When agency screening is superficial, your senior people spend their weeks interviewing. That is the most expensive possible way to sift a pipeline.
A research scientist, an ML platform engineer, and an applied AI engineer solve different problems. Hiring the wrong one costs two quarters before anybody admits it.
Offers benchmarked against the wrong market lose candidates at the final stage, after everyone has invested weeks in the process.
