Services

Four ways to staff a robotics or AI team. One specialist firm.

Pick the depth: a single retained search, a full embedded recruiting function, fractional leadership, or scaled offshore. Every engagement runs through the same robotics-and-AI specialist desk.

01 / Embedded RPO

We become your in-house recruiting team.

When you're scaling fast and don't want to build a full TA org, we drop one or more recruiters inside your hiring process — using your ATS, your panels, your Slack, your standups. They're ours; they look like yours.

  • Dedicated robotics/AI recruiter, full-time embedded
  • Sourcing, screening, scheduling, offer support — end-to-end
  • Weekly funnel reviews against your stage-fit hiring plan
  • Calibrated to your tech stack, comp bands, and culture
  • Scale up or down by month, not by headcount

02 / Retained search

For the role that has to be right.

Founding engineers. VP-level autonomy leads. The first hire on a new perception team. When the cost of a bad hire is six months of runway, we run a structured retained search — depth over speed.

  • Senior partner-led from kickoff to close
  • Mapped market — every plausible candidate, ranked
  • Deep technical screen before you see the slate
  • Offer, comp, and counteroffer strategy support
  • Replacement guarantee if a placement leaves inside 90 days

03 / Fractional leadership

VP-grade help, by the hour.

Sometimes you need a Head of Talent for ten hours a week, or a Head of Autonomy to advise on org design before you commit to a full-time hire. Our network includes operators who've already done the job at well-known robotics and AI companies.

  • Hourly or monthly engagements, ramp in days
  • Talent strategy, hiring plans, comp benchmarking
  • Engineering org design and team architecture
  • Interview rubric design, panel calibration
  • Bridge to a full-time hire when the time is right

04 / Global Talent @Scale™

Engineering-quality offshore. Built for AI workloads.

Not every role belongs in HQ. Annotation ops, ML eval pipelines, data engineering, robotics back-office, MLOps — all run beautifully out of Manila at 50–70% of US cost. We hire, train, and manage. They feel like your team.

  • Full-time offshore engineers and operators, not contractors
  • Embedded into your tooling, security model, and rituals
  • Annotation, MLOps, data eng, eval, infra, RevOps
  • Up to 80% cost savings versus US in-house equivalents
  • Long-term, retention-focused — not body-shopped

Kickoff & calibrate

Role intake, comp benchmarking, scorecard, screening rubric. We meet your hiring panel.

Day 3–7

Source & screen

Pipeline live. Outbound, network activation, technical phone screens, calibration syncs.

Day 7–21

Slate & loops

First qualified candidates onsite. We tighten the rubric weekly based on real signal.

Day 21+

Offer & close

Comp strategy, offer mechanics, counteroffer support, references, start-date land.

Tell us the role. We'll tell you what's hireable.
