Trusted by industry leaders
Built for the teams shipping at the frontier.
"We needed an RL environments engineer who could move from spec to shipping in two weeks. OpenTalent had three candidates on a call within 72 hours."
"The bar for technical depth here is higher than any platform we've used. Every engineer we've hired has shipped production AI work within the trial period."
"They understood our eval pipeline, our infra, and our model strategy on the first call. No ramp-up. That's the difference."
"OpenTalent's pod model replaced what would have been a 9-month hiring cycle. We were running fine-tuning experiments in production inside a month."
