  • GenAI, LLM, RAG, and AI platform teams

Deep technical credibility

We understand modern AI systems. From LLM pipelines and MLOps to industrial ML and edge deployment, we screen for real capability, not keywords.

Commercial focus

We align talent delivery to business outcomes, faster product velocity, reduced project risk, and sustainable AI capability.

Market intelligence

Our work is underpinned by ongoing insight into AI hiring trends, compensation data, and evolving skill requirements across Europe.

Flexible delivery models

Retained search, permanent hiring, and contract/freelance, designed around how AI teams actually scale.

Services

How we support AI-driven organisations.

Three delivery models, designed around how modern AI teams actually scale.

Built by people who understand production AI.

“Most recruiters can't tell a proof of concept from a production system. We can and that's a rare thing. It takes a small number of people with the vision to see what AI should do and the judgment to know when it's actually ready.” — Richard Jackson (CEO & Founder, Oxygen Digital)

AI-native understanding

We work daily with modern AI stacks, LLMs, MLOps, data platforms, and industrial ML.

Long-term partnership

We build repeatable hiring capability, not transactional success.
