You can hire on a flexible contract or commit to full-time - should you wish, we can handle global payroll, compliance and payments in 140 countries.
We use a three-stage vetting process: an AI-led screening on skills & experience, a productivity deep-dive interview covering real-word examples and impact, and finally an optional bespoke assessment in demonstrating AI & automation proficiencies around your case study.
Our assessments focus on learning agility, tool usage, and real-world output.

If a placement doesn’t work out in the first 100 days, we’ll replace the candidate at no extra cost. Our goal is to ensure you get high-performing talent that fits.
