Problems with traditional tech recruitment agencies


No network

Audio AI talent is rare. Top talent even more so. Traditional tech recruitment agencies do not have the network to source the best candidates.

No expertise

Traditional recruitment agencies do not have the necessary expertise to screen and select audio AI talent effectively.

Skyrocket cost

Given their lack of network and domain expertise, it is likely that traditional agencies may recruit the wrong audio AI candidate. This will skyrocket cost.

Waste time

Traditional recruitment agencies may take ages to find suitable candidates. If they hire the wrong candidate, your company will waste ulterior time to find a proper replacement.

Recruitment cost


We charge 35% of the successful candidate’s annual salary + VAT if applicable. Minimum fee is EUR 25K. We don’t negotiate terms.

FAQ


Absolutely not! The recruitment fee applies only when a candidate is hired. If we can't find the right candidate for you, you don't owe us anything.

We have been involved in the audio AI space for more than ten years and have built the largest online community in this field. Our network gives us unique insight in the space and access to top talent.
We have been actively recruiting audio AI talent for 3 years. We have experience hiring audio AI engienners / researchers for tech startups, scale-ups, and large companies from all over the world.

Generalist tech recruitment agencies focus on quantity. We specialise on a small niche and focus on quality. Audio AI talent is rare. Particularly rare. Finding a top music AI engineer is significantly more challenging than finding a Python backend developer. We prefer to charge a higher fee to invest the necessary resources to provide you with the best talent possible. In the long run, this will save you money and time you would otherwise waste by having to replace hires.

We reserve a 3-month period of exclusivity from the moment we sign the contract. This applies only to the job position(s) you hired us for. For example, you can hire Python developers with a different recruitment agency while you work with us for a couple of music AI lead positions.
