Why these hiresare hard.

Titles move faster than the work does. Two people with the same job title are often doing entirely different jobs.

  1. Titles have stopped meaning anything

    Data scientist, ML engineer and analytics engineer overlap differently in every company. Hiring on the title rather than the work is the fastest way to a mismatched shortlist.

  2. Research skill and production skill are not the same

    Some of the strongest modellers have never had to keep something running. Some of the best engineers do not want to be handed an open research question. Knowing which one the role needs changes everything.

  3. Everyone is hiring the same profile

    Demand for people who can do both the modelling and the engineering is concentrated on a small group. Getting to them means offering a real reason to move, early.

How we runthe search.

We map the market, have the right conversations and present only the people who genuinely fit.

  1. 1

    We pin down the actual work first

    Whether the role is closer to research, engineering or product decides the market we search and the people we approach. We agree that with you before the search opens.

  2. 2

    We look past the model names

    Anyone can list tools. We ask what they shipped, who used it, what it changed and what they would do differently, and pass on the answer.

  3. 3

    We treat commercial hires as specialist too

    Selling data and AI takes someone who can hold a technical conversation without overselling. That is a narrow market and we search it the same way we search the engineering one.

Who we usuallydo this for.

  • Data and AI vendors
  • Enterprise data functions
  • Teams building a first data platform
  • Startups and high growth scale-ups
  • Businesses moving models into production
  • Analytics teams becoming product teams
  • Global and regional expansion
  • Replacement hires that did not work out

Data / AI hiring,answered.

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

  • Do you hire for AI product companies or internal data teams?

    Both, and the search is different for each. Vendors need people comfortable with a fast product story; internal teams need people who can work with the business around them.

  • Can you advise on how to structure a new data team?

    We can tell you what comparable teams are doing and where the market is thin, which usually shapes the order you hire in. The structure stays your call.

  • Are these roles remote?

    Many are, and it widens the market considerably. If the role needs to be on-site, say so early so the search is built around it.

  • What regions do you recruit in?

    Europe, the Middle East and Africa are where we are strongest, and we place remote and relocating candidates beyond that. Tell us where the role sits and we will be straight with you about how deep our network is there.
