DIRECT HIRE

Hire Applied AI Engineers

Most recruiters can’t tell a real Applied AI Engineer from a ChatGPT hobbyist. GoGloby runs a 4-stage technical elimination funnel — only 4% pass. Your shortlist of production-proven engineers lands in 5 days.

Why Hiring Senior Applied AI Talent Is Broken

Identifying engineers who can actually architect, govern, and deploy production-grade AI systems takes months you do not have.

Too Many Paper Tigers

They look right on paper. They fail on real engineering tasks. You’ve wasted weeks on interview loops that end in “not quite right” — and you’re back to zero.

No Recruiter Can Vet This

Standard recruiters screen for keywords and GitHub links. None of them can tell a production-grade Applied AI Engineer from someone who prompts ChatGPT and ships the first output.

Burning Time You Don’t Have

Specialized AI hiring takes 6 months through US job boards. Every week you spend sourcing is a week your roadmap slips and your competitors ship.

Misaligned Rates

US rates for verified AI talent are unsustainable for a 12-month roadmap. You either overpay or lose top candidates at the final offer stage.

Assessment Methodology

The 4% Vetting Pass Rate

We run a strict 4-stage technical gauntlet to validate true Agentic SDLC mastery. By the time you interview someone, the hard vetting is already done.

Can They Specify?

Before writing a single line of code, candidates must produce a strict, machine-readable architectural spec. Most can’t. This stage alone eliminates 70% of applicants.

Can They Navigate?

We drop them into a 50K+ line codebase with an AI assistant and watch how they work. Context discipline and output validation separate real engineers from prompt jockeys.

Can They Architect?

Candidates design multi-agent systems, evaluate RAG trade-offs, and manage token economics under real constraints. No theory. Production-grade thinking only.

Can They Govern?

Their agent hallucinates in production. Walk us through the first 60 minutes. Only engineers who can own outcomes — not just output — make it through.

Verifiable Delivery Guarantees

1

120-Day Replacement

If your new Applied AI Engineer isn’t working out within 120 days, we run the full search and vetting process again at zero additional cost.

N

No Fee Until You Hire

You pay nothing during sourcing, vetting, and shortlisting. GoGloby’s fee only triggers when you make the hire. No spend on candidates you never meet.

R

Risk-Aligned Payment

50% when your new Applied AI Engineer starts. 50% after they pass probation. We only win when your hire succeeds.

FAQ

An Applied AI Engineer is a senior software engineer who uses AI tools — Cursor, Claude Code, agent frameworks — to architect, build, and ship software at significantly higher velocity than traditional engineers. They don’t just use AI; they govern it. They write specifications before code, manage AI context deliberately, and take full ownership of every AI-assisted output. Applied AI Engineers sit at the intersection of deep software engineering and Agentic SDLC mastery

A general vetting process screens for years of experience, GitHub activity, and algorithm questions. GoGloby’s 4-stage funnel tests what actually matters in production: Can they specify before they code? Can they navigate a real codebase with AI without losing control? Can they architect multi-agent systems under real constraints? Can they govern AI failures in front of stakeholders? Each stage eliminates 60–70% of remaining candidates. Only 4% pass. By the time a candidate reaches your shortlist, they’ve already proved they can do the job — not just interview for it.

Because the market is flooded with developers who can prompt an AI tool but can’t architect, govern, or ship with it at production scale. Standard job boards and general tech recruiters have no framework to tell the difference. Most hiring managers spend months interviewing candidates who look right on paper and fail on real engineering tasks. The signal problem isn’t supply — it’s that the vetting infrastructure to identify genuine Applied AI mastery simply doesn’t exist in most hiring processes.

Yes. GoGloby recruits individual Applied AI Engineers as well as full teams — from a single senior hire to a complete Applied AI Engineering function. Every candidate goes through the same 4-stage vetting funnel regardless of team size. Whether you need one engineer or five, every name on your shortlist has already passed the same bar.

The 120-day replacement guarantee covers the highest-risk period of any new hire. Beyond that window, GoGloby offers preferred re-engagement terms — meaning if you need to backfill the role, you move to the front of the queue with a reduced fee. We’re built on long-term client relationships, not one-off placements.

GoGloby recruits across all work models — remote, hybrid, and on-site. Our talent network spans 5+ US-timezone countries, so whether your team operates fully distributed or requires in-office presence, we source candidates who match both your technical bar and your working model. Every shortlist is filtered to your specific requirements before it reaches you.
