CEO confident about their AI team

"What if this hire destroys everything we've built?"

That's the real fear keeping you up at night.

Not the €250k+ per bad hire.

Not the 3-6 months to recover.

It's the delayed realization:

6 months in. Product delayed. Funding round at risk. Team frustrated. Investors asking questions.

And the quiet thought:
"We should have known."

But here's the truth: You couldn't have known. Because hiring AI talent requires expertise most founders don't have time to build.

Why AI Hiring Breaks Most Startups

It's not like hiring other engineers and that's exactly the problem

Role titles mean nothing

ML Engineer ≠ AI Engineer ≠ Applied Scientist. Same on paper. Zero overlap in execution. Hire the wrong one and you've just burned 6 months discovering they can't do what you actually need.

Big Tech experience often anti-correlates with startup success

That FAANG engineer who looked perfect? They're used to: structure, clear specs, quarterly planning. Your startup is: chaos, ambiguity, ship yesterday. Cultural whiplash destroys both sides.

Mis-hires decay silently

Month 1-2: Optimism. Month 3-4: Quiet misalignment. Month 6: Excuses. Month 9: Exit. By the time you notice, the damage is done, roadmap delayed, team demoralized, runway burned.

Traditional recruiters can't solve this. They keyword-match resumes and pray.

You need someone who prevents mis-hires before they happen, not discovers them 6 months too late.

The Real Cost of AI Hiring Mistakes

Conservative numbers. Nothing exaggerated. Just reality.

What One Wrong Hire Actually Costs

Direct Costs: €25k-€40k

Recruiting, onboarding, tooling, management time

Lost Productivity: €15k-€30k

3-6 months of partial output, rework, other engineers compensating

Opportunity Cost: €50k-€150k

Delayed product launches, missed deals, funding timeline impact

Founder Time: €6k-€12k

5-10 hours/week for 3 months managing people problems instead of building

Total: €96k-€232k per mis-hire

And that's just the measurable damage based on a €80k yearly salary.

What A Right Hire Creates

Faster Execution: €30k-€60k

3-4 months of regained momentum, earlier MVP, earlier revenue, earlier next round

Better Decisions: €20k-€50k

Prevents 1-2 major reworks, right architecture, right models, right data strategy

Retention: €45k-€90k

Stays 1+ extra year, avoids replacement cost of 50-75% salary

Team Multiplier: €20k-€40k

Raises code quality, mentors others, sets standards. 10-20% efficiency gain

Total: €115k-€240k upside

Per hire. Compounding over time.

One mis-hire costs €100k-€200k+
One aligned hire creates €115k-€240k upside

Our entire business model exists to systematically ensure the second and prevent the first.

We're Not Recruiters. We're Your Embedded Chief of AI Talent.

  • Outcome: Hope they work out

8 Validation Layers—Every Hire Must Pass All 8

1

Vision & Growth Mapping

We sit down with you to understand where you're going, then design the team that gets you there

2

Company Culture DNA

Pace, chaos tolerance, decision style, feedback norms. We map reality, not the pitch deck

3

Role Architecture

Every role defined by outcomes with clear 30/60/90-day success metrics

4

Technical Validation

Skills assessed in YOUR context, not just "can code" but "can execute here"

5

Behavioral & Work Style Fit

Chaos builders vs structured optimizers. Fast vs methodical. Ownership vs task-driven.

6

Execution Alignment

Stage fit (0→1 vs 1→10 vs 10→100), speed tolerance, autonomy needs

7

Risk Scoring

Early failure signals, retention probability, friction points. Identified before hiring

8

Embedded Oversight

We stay involved for 90 days to detect misalignment early and intervene before damage

Only candidates who score 80%+ across all 8 layers are presented.

Result: Mis-hires become structurally unlikely, not just hoped against.

Your Experience: Simple. Our Work: Rigorous.

Day 1-2: Vision Mapping Session

Your time: 60-90 minutes

What we deliver:

  • Strategic team roadmap (which roles unlock which milestones)
  • Hiring sequence & priority
  • Risk areas flagged

💡 You immediately have clarity you can share with co-founders and investors. They see you're thinking strategically about team building, not just hiring randomly.

Day 3-6: Candidate Activation

Your time: Zero

What happens:

  • Global talent pool scored against your 8 frameworks
  • Culture, execution, risk, motivation, all validated
  • Automated progress updates (you see momentum without asking)

💡 You focus on product. We handle talent. Your co-founder asks "how's hiring going?" and you confidently say "handled."

Week 3: First Candidate Presented

Your time: Review one profile

What you get:

  • Candidate who scored 90%+ on all alignment frameworks
  • Clear explanation of why they unlock your next milestone
  • 90-day success plan already designed
  • Risk mitigation strategy included

💡 Your peers wonder how you built such a high-performing team so fast. Your investors notice execution velocity. Only you know the secret.
