HSG IT FinlandHire Senior AI & ML Engineers —
Sourced From Our European + Indian Network
We're not an in-house AI consultancy — we're a senior IT recruitment specialist. Tell us the role (LLM, RAG, MLOps, AI-augmented QA), the stack, and the start date. We send vetted shortlist candidates from our European and Indian network in 48 hours. Typical placement: 2–4 weeks.
How We Actually Work
Most firms claim "our AI team delivered X" — we don't. Here's our real model.
What We Do
We source senior AI/ML engineers from our European and Indian recruitment network. You define the role; we find the right person; we handle contracting, payroll, and the admin.
What We Don't Do
We don't pretend to have a 20-engineer AI team waiting on a bench. We don't sell fixed-bid AI products. We don't do training-from-scratch model work as a service.
Why That's Better
You get an engineer matched to your exact stack and seniority — not whoever happens to be benched. We're transparent about timeline, sourcing, and what we can deliver.

Do you have AI engineers on staff or do you recruit them?
We source AI/ML talent on-demand from our European and Indian recruitment network. We're an IT recruitment specialist, not an in-house AI consultancy. This means you get the right engineer for your specific stack and timeline, rather than whoever happened to be on a bench. Typical placement: 2–4 weeks.
What AI roles can you source?
LLM engineers (OpenAI/Anthropic/open-source), RAG engineers (vector search, retrieval pipelines), MLOps engineers (MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker, Vertex AI), AI-augmented QA engineers, data engineers for AI pipelines, and AI security/red-team specialists.
How does your sourcing process work?
1) You send us the role spec (stack, seniority, start date, location). 2) We respond in 48 hours with a vetted shortlist of 3–5 candidates from our network. 3) You interview, we handle contracts/NDA/payroll. 4) Engineer starts within 2–4 weeks.
