How we screen

Every candidate we send for a data & ai role has been through this, run by someone who does the work.

  1. 01A SQL and data-modelling exercise on a messy, realistic schema
  2. 02A walk-through of a pipeline or model they took to production
  3. 03For AI roles: how they evaluated a retrieval or agent system, with numbers
  4. 04Two references, at least one from a data or engineering lead

Questions we get asked

Can you staff an AI proof of concept that might not continue?
Yes. Short, well-defined terms are common on this desk. We agree a clear end date up front and an extension window, so the contractor knows where they stand either way.
