Praxis Talent

Hire Applied AI, ML and MLOps Talent

Build the team behind real AI products

Hiring AI talent is easy to talk about and hard to do well. Most companies do not need vague “AI experts”. They need engineers who can take an idea, build it properly and run it in production.

I help B2B software companies hire the technical talent behind production AI systems.

Where I add value

AI hiring gets messy fast.

Job specs are often too broad. Interview processes drift. Good candidates disappear quickly. Internal teams get flooded with the wrong profiles.

I help clients bring structure to the process and focus on what actually matters:

Clear role calibration
Sharper candidate targeting
Higher quality shortlists
Faster progress from outreach to offer
Less wasted time with irrelevant applicants

Typical challenges I help solve

We need an AI hire but the brief is still vague
We’re seeing lots of interest but very little quality
We need someone who can work across LLMs, product and engineering
We need ML or MLOps talent with real production experience
We need help closing hard-to-find profiles in a competitive market

Why work with me

I focus on commercially relevant AI hiring, not hype.

Production focus

Helping companies hire the people who actually build, deploy and scale AI systems, not just talk about them.

Quality over volume

No bloated candidate lists. The focus is on relevant, high-signal profiles that match your technical bar, stage and hiring context.

Flexible support

Whether you are making your first key AI hire or building out a wider team, I can help you identify the right profile and move quickly.
