The AI/ML hiring market is uniquely broken

  • Retained recruiters.
  • LinkedIn Recruiter seats.
  • Keyword-matched resumes.
  • Templated InMails.

Everyone wants AI engineers right now, which means the signal-to-noise ratio is terrible. Recruiters flood candidates with generic messages about "exciting AI opportunities." The good candidates have learned to ignore all of it.

The bigger problem: most AI/ML engineers come from research backgrounds and have never shipped production systems. You need someone who can go from paper to pipeline — who understands MLOps, can work with messy real-world data, and cares about latency and cost, not just accuracy on a benchmark.

The candidates who can actually do this are a small subset of everyone with 'ML' on their LinkedIn. Finding them requires understanding the difference between academic ML and applied ML — and most recruiters don't.

How Superposition finds your AI/ML engineer

01

Applied ML focus

We source candidates who've shipped production models — not just published papers. We look at real deployments, open source ML tooling contributions, and system design skills.

02

Cuts through the noise

Our outreach references the candidate's specific work and your specific ML challenges. No generic 'exciting AI opportunity' templates.

03

Deep technical intake

Our voice agent digs into your actual ML stack, data pipeline, and what 'ML engineer' means for your team — inference optimization? Fine-tuning? MLOps?

04

Speed in a competitive market

In a market where top AI talent gets snatched in days, we surface curated candidates in weeks, not months.

Questions.
Answered.

Traditional recruiters charge 20–30% of first-year salary and run a generic search across multiple clients at once. Our agent goes deep on just your company — researching thousands of candidates and bringing back people who are specifically a fit, not just generically good.

$500 per agent per month operational, plus a 15% success fee on first-year base salary only — not equity, not bonus. No retainer, no upfront commitment, no percentage-of-OTE gotchas.

Most searches produce a curated shortlist within 2–3 weeks. Signed offers range from 5 to 12 weeks end-to-end, depending on role seniority and your interview cadence.

We offer a 90-day replacement guarantee. If they leave for any reason within 90 days, we re-run the search at no additional cost.

There's an initial voice intake — usually 30–45 minutes — where the agent learns your company, values, and the specific shape of who you're hiring. After that, you review curated candidates as they come in. No daily standups.
