AI & automation hiring questions, answered.
How do you verify AI skills — isn't everyone "AI literate" now?
We don't take claims. We run live build demos where candidates produce a working automation or AI workflow in front of us — real output, real tools, no rehearsed slideware.
What tools do your specialists actually use?
The common core is Zapier, Make, and API connections with GPT/Claude models in production workflows. We verify proficiency live and give you a skills matrix per finalist.
Can they work with UK or US timezones?
Yes. GMT+2 gives full overlap with UK business hours and 6–7 hours with US East Coast. Many candidates shift to US hours for the right role.
Can you build a whole automation function?
Absolutely. For multiple hires we run parallel screening pipelines — builders, ops, and maintenance — so you're not waiting months. The placement fee applies per hire.
What if they don't work out?
30-day free replacement guarantee. If the person we place doesn't meet your expectations, we replace them at zero additional cost.
I just want one workflow built. Do I need a full-time hire?
If you only need a one-off build, a specialist contractor or agency may fit better. If you have ongoing automation needs, a full-time hire pays for itself fast. We'll give you an honest read on which you need.
