Fast, Reliable AI & Machine Learning Staffing
Finding AI talent isn't like hiring for other technical roles. The market is fiercely competitive, candidate expectations are high, and the cost of a bad hire—in time, money, and team morale—is significant.

Whether you need to fill a single critical role, scale an entire team, or bring in strategic expertise to optimize your hiring process, we have an engagement model that fits.
Every solution is backed by our deep specialization in AI talent—recruiters who understand the difference between a PyTorch expert and a TensorFlow specialist, who can assess system design skills and research acumen, and who know what top candidates are looking for in their next opportunity.

Multiple AI / ML Engineering Hires
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sam over the past few months as he led recruiting for some of our most important and hard-to-fill roles. Sam has a deep understanding of the talent landscape, especially when it comes to AI and engineering, and he brings a mix of great instincts, hustle, and thoughtfulness to every search.
What stands out most is how well he collaborates. Sam is great at helping teams clarify what they’re really looking for and then turning that into a focused search that surfaces people we never would have found otherwise. He has a strong sense of where the market is headed and what motivates top technical talent, and that’s been incredibly valuable.
He also knows how to close. Sam builds genuine relationships with candidates, keeps things moving, and is influential in helping them see the opportunity clearly. Thanks in large part to his work, we’ve been able to land some amazing hires. I’d highly recommend him to any team that wants a true recruiting partner who gets results.
MLOps Engineers
"Sam is one of the best recruiters I have worked with, and I can not recommend Sam enough for hiring managers and candidates. Sam and I worked closely together to staff up my MLOps team. From the start, Sam took the time to understand the roles I was hiring for, the day-to-day the engineers would experience, and the unicorn skillset I needed, translating that into an extremely high-quality candidate pipeline. Sam could also pivot his sourcing pipeline to dynamically adjust to my team's evolving needs. Before working with Sam, I interviewed 5-10 candidates per week with a pass-through rate of <10%. After we engaged with Sam, that changed to 2-5 highly qualified candidates per week with a significantly higher pass-through rate. Week after week, Sam impressed me with the quality and preparedness of the candidates he brought. Sam was able to find me candidates that I absolutely could not have found, sourcing everything from Ray engineers to build out our distributed training platform to Kubernetes-heavy engineers to scale out our ML services. If you are a hiring manager or candidate, Sam should be your first and last stop to land a role successfully."
Multi-role ML Team Build
"Sam is an amazing recruiter. I am currently working with Sam on different ML and Data Science positions at Duetto, and I couldn’t be more impressed with his approach to talent acquisition.
Sam has successfully filled key positions, including a Principal Data Scientist and a Lead Machine Learning Engineer, both of which are critical to the success of our team. He has an exceptional ability to understand the technical requirements of these roles and translate them into a highly targeted, high-quality candidate pipeline. Sam ensures that each candidate not only has the right skills but also fits well within our team culture.
What truly sets Sam apart is his adaptability. As our needs evolve, Sam is always able to pivot his recruiting strategy, ensuring we continue to receive a steady stream of highly qualified candidates. We are consistently receiving candidates each week within our ATS. In particular, Sam has been instrumental in sourcing candidates for highly specialized roles, in our hospitality-travel tech industry. His ability to find top-tier talent in these niche areas has been invaluable as we build out our R&D teams.
If you're looking for a recruiter who understands the technical landscape, adapts to meet your needs, and consistently delivers results, Sam is the person to work with. I highly recommend him to both hiring managers and other Talent Acquisition professionals."
Machine Learning Engineering
"I highly recommend Sam for his outstanding work in helping us hire for highly specialized machine-learning engineering roles. We faced numerous challenges throughout the process, but he was relentless in his efforts, landing us some solid candidates. On top of that, Sam was very easy to work with, always keeping things light and easy. Thank you, Sam, for the great partnership."
ML / Data Science, IC - Director
We've worked with many recruiting firms, but few have delivered the level of expertise and speed that People in AI has. When we needed to close critical data science and machine learning roles, their team quickly understood our requirements, spoke our language, and navigated the current talent landscape with ease.
They calibrated fast, brought us high-quality candidates, and helped us secure top-tier talent efficiently—without the usual back-and-forth. If you're looking for a recruiting partner who truly understands tech hiring and can move at the pace of your business, I highly recommend People in AI.
Data Scientists
"While many recruiters can handle the full recruitment cycle efficiently, Sam takes it a step further. He delivers high-quality service across all stages – from understanding your needs to ensuring a smooth onboarding for the placed candidate – and brings an extra spark of enthusiasm, honesty, and positive energy. This unique combination translates to a seamless recruitment experience and a genuine commitment to getting the job done right."
VP of Data
"We needed a candidate with both strategic vision and technical expertise. Sam understood our requirements and presented us with a strong pool of qualified candidates. The candidates they ultimately placed on our team exceeded our expectations - they're a true asset to our organization. We highly recommend People In AI for their expertise and dedication in finding top data talent."
