AI engineers where three agencies had failed.
Two AI Software Engineers were needed, one permanent and one on contract. Three other agencies had already been engaged and not one of their candidates could get through the technical test.
Every profile submitted had shipped in a startup and worked hands on with LLMs. All ten reached first interview, and both roles were filled in 29 days.
A stealth healthtech startup needed two AI Software Engineers, one permanent and one on contract. They had already engaged three other agencies and were frustrated that not one candidate could get through their technical test. The bar was real LLM experience, built hands on in a startup, not people who had read about it on a CV.
Every profile AG Talent submitted had shipped in a startup and worked directly with LLMs. All ten reached first interview.
Feedback From the FounderArj’s ability to provide a pipeline of high quality candidates was particularly impressive, reflecting a thorough vetting process. Unlike many other agencies we engaged with during our search for both a contractor and a full time hire, it was ultimately Arj’s candidates who met our criteria and were chosen for the positions. His professional approach and dedication not only delivered excellent results but also made the recruitment process smooth and effective. I highly recommend Arj for any company seeking top tier talent through a recruiter who offers both quality and efficiency.
