AI Staffing Solutions
AI hiring moved into a category of its own. The work changes shape every quarter, the skills compound differently, and the people who can do it are not on the same channels as the people building everything else.
Tecla spent the last decade growing the network that finds them. The practice evolved alongside the field, from machine learning to LLMs to agentic systems, with the same team accountable from briefing through the months after the hire.

Hiring for AI transformation
AI transformation is changing what work looks like inside companies. The shift shows up in two ways: the new roles building the AI systems, and the existing roles evolving around them. Both shape what the transformation actually becomes.
Our network reaches both ends. AI specialists working on LLM applications, MLOps, and agentic systems. AI-forward talent across engineering, product, design, and operations rethinking how the work gets done.
AI Specialists
AI-Forward Talent
The AI roles we cover
From foundation models to applied production work, our network covers the full range of AI talent. Each profile vetted against the actual stack the candidate would join.
OpenAI Developers
Engineers who ship production apps on GPT-4. Navigate function calling, manage token budgets, design fallbacks for when the API breaks.
LLM Engineers
Engineers who work across foundation models. Fine-tune Llama, prompt-engineer GPT-4, decide when each approach fits. Inference, training, and serving.
Databricks Developers
Engineers building data and AI pipelines on Databricks. From lakehouse architecture to MLflow workflows and the Spark layer underneath.
Industries deploying AI
AI is no longer a vertical. The industries hiring the most AI talent now include AI-native startups and enterprises adopting AI across operations. Our network covers both ends.
SaaS & Enterprise
Fintech
AI & Machine Learning
HealthTech
Cybersecurity
E-commerce & Retail
EdTech
Logistics & Supply Chain
Energy Tech

Integration
First 90 days covered. Replacement guarantee. Account Manager throughout.
Scaling the capability
Same network covers the squad, the adjacent stacks, the team that follows.
The team behind every AI hire
Most of what determines whether an AI hire works is who stays close to it over time. We assign two dedicated people to the engagement and keep them in place from briefing through ramp-up and beyond.
Account Manager
Owns the hiring process until the engineer signs. Understands the AI stack, presents the candidates, and stays the same person from briefing through offer.
Success Manager
Owns the relationship after the hire. HR, compliance, onboarding, and the day-to-day of the engagement past signing. Always available as your AI team grows.
Three ways to engage
AI work comes in different shapes. A team building from scratch needs something different from a team scaling an existing capability. Three engagement models, one network behind all of them.
