Build. Solve. Ship.
Every contractor engagement starts with a problem. You need to build something new, solve something broken, or ship something fast. We find the right people. You manage the delivery.
When Contract Makes Sense
Short-term project
Defined scope, clear end date. You need expertise for 3-6 months.
Specialist skills
Niche expertise you don't need permanently: computer vision, MLOps, broadcast integration.
Fast start
You need someone now, not in 3 months. Contractors can start in days.
Try before you buy
Test the working relationship. Many of our contractors convert to permanent roles when both sides are happy.
Build
Establish initial AI capabilities
The Problem
Hiring a full-time AI engineer is a big commitment. Salaries of £80-150k+, months to find the right person, and no guarantee they'll deliver what you need.

Match
Connect with vetted engineers from our contractor network

Contractor delivers while your internal teams gain knowledge

Extend contractor, hire full-time, or build independently

Common Questions
How quickly can contractors start?
Typically 5-10 days from brief to contractor starting. For urgent needs, we can sometimes move faster.
What if the contractor doesn't work out?
We offer a replacement guarantee. If there's a mismatch in the first few weeks, we'll find someone else at no extra cost.
Can contractors convert to permanent?
Yes, and it happens regularly. If a contractor is a great fit, we can handle the conversion. It's one of the best ways to "try before you buy."
Do you work internationally?
Yes. Strong networks in UK, Europe (especially Nordics and Netherlands), North America, and Middle East.
