AI and Machine Learning recruitment

AI and machine learning recruitment in Toronto and the GTA

Hire machine learning engineers, data scientists and researchers who have been vetted on their work, not their keywords.

Why AI hiring is hard

Titles in this field tell you very little. Two people called Machine Learning Engineer can do very different work: one trains models, the other builds the systems that serve them.

A résumé full of the right keywords is easy to write. What matters is what the person built, which part of it was theirs, and whether it worked.

We interview each candidate on their projects before you see them, so your team spends its interview time on people who fit the role.

Roles we recruit for

  • Machine Learning Engineer
  • Data Scientist
  • Applied Scientist
  • AI Research Scientist
  • NLP and LLM Engineer
  • Computer Vision Engineer
  • AI and ML team lead

How we vet AI and ML candidates

We interview candidates on their work before we put them forward.

  • Projects first

    We ask what they built, what data they used and what happened when it shipped.

  • Depth in their area

    Deep learning, NLP, computer vision and LLM work are different skills. We check the one you need.

  • Research or production

    We establish whether a candidate is strongest in experiments or in shipping, and match that to your role.

  • Communication

    We note how clearly they explain their work to someone outside their team.
