An agency reads titles and forwards résumés. We put one specialist from the top 1% on your role, and they interview every candidate against your JD before you see a profile.
Custom AI agents score every engineer on the systems they shipped and the scale they ran across 50+ sources. Your recruiter then interviews the shortlist and keeps only what holds up.
The work the role actually needs: system design under real constraints, code review on your kind of codebase, and the trade-offs a candidate makes when the requirements conflict.
A placement fee agreed before we start, with no retainer and no charge for the shortlist. You only pay when someone you hired starts.
Every placement carries a guarantee period. If it does not work out inside it, your recruiter reopens the search at no additional fee.
Specialists for Series A to C teams in AI and physical AI: research, machine learning and forward deployed engineers, data scientists, robotics and hardware engineers, from first hire to director and VP.
