Matrix Talent Group helps fast growing AI startups and global tech companies hire the engineers, researchers and leaders they can't find on their own. Specialist search across the UK, Ireland, Europe and North America.
AI talent is the most competitive hiring market in the world. The best machine learning engineers and researchers aren't browsing job boards, and generic recruiters don't know how to reach them or assess them.
Whether you need one hard to fill engineer or a whole new AI team, we'll shape the search around you.
You only pay when you hire. Ideal for single roles or trying us out.
A dedicated, exclusive search for senior, leadership and research roles.
Launching a new team, product or office? We plan and deliver multiple hires to a set timeline.
From early stage startups to global enterprises, permanent and contract.
ML engineers, research scientists, LLM and GenAI engineers, computer vision and NLP specialists.
Backend, full stack, MLOps, cloud, DevOps, security and forward deployed engineers.
Data scientists, data engineers, AI product managers, Heads of AI, VPs of Engineering and CTOs.
