Hiring support

Hiring for AI, and not sure who is actually good?

Most teams hiring their first AI person are judging candidates on claims they have no way to test. We help you write the role, find people, and assess them on what they can actually do.

Why ask us rather than a recruiter

A recruiter sends you a CV and a claim. We train these people, so we can tell you what someone can do rather than what they say they can do.

We know what good looks like

We teach this every week, across Sri Lanka and the region. We know the difference between someone who has used ChatGPT and someone who can ship with it, because we have taught both.

We assess on evidence

Candidates do a real task, not a quiz. You see what they built and how they thought about it, next to a structured read on where they are strong and where they are thin.

Hiring is not always the answer

Sometimes the person you need is already on your team and one course away from the role. We will say so, even though it is the smaller job for us.

How it works

Four steps. The first one is free and often changes what you thought you were hiring for.

First

We work out the actual role

Most "AI Engineer" briefs describe three different jobs. We go through what the work really is, what it touches, and who it hands to, until the role is one person's job.

Then

We look at your team first

Before searching outside, we map who already covers what. If the capability is one course away from someone you already employ, that is cheaper, faster, and better for retention.

Then

We find and screen

We search, shortlist, and put every candidate through a real task. You get a small number of people with evidence attached, not a stack of CVs to sort.

After

We help them land

A good hire fails in a bad first ninety days. We can set up the onboarding and the first projects so the person you hired becomes the person you needed.

Worth saying plainly

What we are and are not

  • We are a training company that knows this talent pool, not a recruitment agency with a database.
  • We work on a small number of roles at a time, properly, rather than many at once.
  • If we do not think we can fill it well, we will tell you at the first conversation rather than take the brief.
  • Fees, timelines and terms are agreed in writing before we start. Nothing begins on a handshake.

Tell us what you need

A few lines is enough to start. A human reads every one of these and comes back within one working day.

No obligation and no cost for the first conversation. We will tell you if training someone you already have is the better answer.

Got it.

A human will come back to you within one working day. If it is urgent, book a call and pick a time directly.
