Data and AI recruitment

A data engineer who builds pipelines isn’t a data scientist who builds models. We know which one you need, and where to find them.

Roles we fill

Mid-level to head of department, contract and permanent, across the UK.

  • Data engineers

    Build and run the pipelines that move and clean your data.

  • Analytics engineers

    Turn raw data into tested models the business can trust.

  • Data analysts

    Answer business questions with SQL, dashboards and judgement.

  • Data scientists

    Build statistical models that predict, price and decide.

  • Machine learning engineers

    Put models into production and keep them working.

  • Heads of data

    Set the strategy, build the team and own data governance.

Where data and AI hires go wrong

We see the same mistakes again and again. If your brief is heading for one, we’ll tell you.

  • Hiring a scientist before an engineer

    Without clean pipelines, a data scientist spends most of the week cleaning data. Most teams need the engineer first.

  • Asking for every tool

    A spec with fifteen technologies puts off good people and attracts people who match keywords. Name the three that matter.

  • Forgetting the regulator

    In financial services, someone who already knows data lineage and model risk saves months of catching up.

How we test for it

Before you meet anyone, we’ve asked the questions a generalist wouldn’t. Here are three we ask in every data and AI search.

  • “Walk me through a pipeline you built. What broke, and how did you find out?”
  • “How would you explain this model’s result to a risk committee?”
  • “What would you measure first in a business like ours, and why?”

You’ll work with the founders. Every time.

No hand-offs to a junior team. The person you speak to first knows the market, knows your brief and stays with you until the hire is made.

Questions hiring managers ask

  • Do you recruit contract and permanent data roles?

    Yes, both. Many data teams use contractors for a migration or platform build, then hire permanently to run it. We can help with both stages.

  • Do you cover AI roles, or just data?

    Both. We recruit machine learning engineers and data scientists as well as data engineers and analysts. We’ll be honest when a role is really data engineering with an AI title.

  • Can you build a whole data team?

    Yes. Our Multiple Hire Project plans and runs several hires at once, so you hire in the right order.
