What makes these AI experts different?

Not a CV pile from a body shop. Certified, practitioner, agent-first engineers, proven on real work.

Vetted through delivery

Proven on real shipped projects with evals and production discipline, not interviews alone. The bench and the projects show the work.

AI-fluent by default

They build AI systems and build everything else with AI: agentic coding, evaluation discipline, guardrails and cost control as standard.

Certified across your stack

Anthropic, Google Cloud and Microsoft, so the expert is fluent on the platform you already run, not learning it on your time.

Flexible, low lock-in

Short or long term, scale up or down. No upfront recruitment fees on the augmentation model, and you interview before anyone joins.

Fully supported

HR, legal and accounting handled by us, with replacement covered if the fit is wrong. You get the engineer; we carry the overhead.

What is an AI-Fluent Senior Pod?

A ready-built, senior team embedded in yours, not a stack of CVs to sift. The vetting is done and the people have shipped together.

When a pod beats a single hire

  • You need to move on a roadmap now, not in six months
  • The work spans AI, back-end and front-end at once
  • You want senior judgement, not just extra hands
  • You would rather not carry the hiring and HR overhead

What a pod brings

  • Senior, AI-fluent engineers, certified across your stack
  • Production discipline: evals, guardrails, monitoring
  • Integrated in 1 to 2 weeks, supported end to end

How do you want to engage?

Three models, the same vetted people. Pick the one that fits, switch later if it changes.

Our Process

Our IT Staff Augmentation Process

A transparent, step-by-step approach to finding your perfect team member

1

Collection of Requirements

We gather detailed information about your ideal candidate and project needs

  • Detailed position description
  • Information about the project technology and team
  • Candidate's responsibilities within the project
  • Project tech stack and business domain
  • Project duration and methodology
  • Project management: daily meetings, calls with clients, working schedule

Our Tech Lead analyses the information and clarifies additional points to ensure we have sufficient knowledge of the ideal candidate's profile.

2

Contract and Cooperation Model

We agree on the engagement model and formalize the partnership

  • Set up candidate search process
  • Agree on cooperation model with client
  • Sign contract with the client
  • Time and Material model (most common)
  • Cost Plus model (available when needed)

After determining the ideal candidate's profile, we will set up a candidate search process and agree on a cooperation model.

3

Screening of Candidates

Three-stage vetting process to find the perfect match

  • Preliminary check: 4-5 critical criteria for the role (framework knowledge, library experience, business domain)
  • Interview with in-house recruiter: software interview, readiness check, expectations alignment, English level test
  • Technical interview: specialized Tech Lead evaluation based on requested tech stack

We conduct selection and screening in three stages to ensure only qualified candidates proceed.

4

Interview with Client

Candidate introduction after successful internal interviews

  • Introduce candidate to client after all internal interviews
  • Set up interviews promptly
  • Multiple time slots available during the week
  • Quick feedback turnaround for competitive candidates

Candidates with high profiles are very competitive and require quick feedback. We ensure a smooth interview process.

5

Onboarding

Comprehensive onboarding with full support services

  • Legal support: employment contract and NDA signing
  • Accounting support: bookkeeping consultant assigned
  • HR support: HR manager for work-related issues
  • Technical/domain leadership: qualified specialist mentorship
  • Working environment setup: equipment, office, software
  • Work schedule and time tracking regulations

Before project start, we agree on basic workflow: working hours, regular meetings, time-tracking regulations, performance reviews, vacation and sick-leave policies. Our company covers all employee overhead costs.

6

Feedback & Quality Control

Ongoing performance management and professional development

  • Regular performance reviews and 180/360 feedback sessions
  • Monthly feedback from clients on employee engagement
  • HR one-on-one meetings
  • Tech/domain leaders for professional supervision
  • Individual development plan for each specialist
  • Domain certifications and professional education

In case of poor performance or negative feedback, our company is responsible for replacing the specialist within the agreed timeframe.

Common questions about hiring AI experts

How fast can an AI expert start?

Typically 1 to 2 weeks, because the bench already exists and the vetting is done. We shortlist from people we have already proven, so you are not waiting on a six-month search.

What makes your engineers AI-fluent?

They build AI systems and build with AI: agentic coding, evaluation discipline, guardrails and cost control as standard, certified across Anthropic, Google and Microsoft. AI-fluency is demonstrated through delivery, not claimed on a CV.

What engagement models do you offer?

Team augmentation (no upfront recruitment fees), tech recruitment, and employer of record or cost-plus. Short or long term, and you can scale up or down.

Can we interview before committing?

Yes. We shortlist from the bench and you choose who joins. The hiring decision stays with you.

What if it is not the right fit?

Flexible terms with replacement covered. We carry the overhead of finding the right person rather than leaving it with you.

Which platforms and stacks?

Anthropic (Claude), Google Cloud (Vertex AI), Microsoft (Azure), plus the wider Python, ML and data stack and full-stack web and mobile.

What does it cost?

Quoted on the scoping call, in GBP, traced to our rate card. There are no upfront recruitment fees on the augmentation model.
