AI & ML recruitment by former SaaS operators
Strong AI engineers and machine learning specialists are mostly employed, rarely looking and approached every week. Bluebird consultants have carried the quota and run the ramp, so we know which candidates can ship models and which ones only demo well.
We find strong AI engineers and machine learning specialists where they work, not on job boards.

AI-assisted, human-led
We use AI tooling to map talent faster and reach further. Every shortlist is still scored by a consultant who has hired for the role, because culture and commercial fit are judgement calls.
Match the hire to the problem
Most teams do not need a full AI department on day one. We help you choose the right hire for your stage and roadmap, then find the person.

Excellent experience landing my dream role with Bluebird recruitment. Was a very straightforward and easy process with fantastic communication throughout. Big thanks to Chris & the team for all of their help in what was an amazing process. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for your ideal role.
I had the the pleasure of connecting with James throughout an interview process- he is by far the most impressive recruiter I’ve met, super transparent, communicated early and quickly with everything, was always there to understand my needs/wants from the role and I saw him as a trusted advisor by the end. Trust me, you can go no better than him and I couldn’t recommend him higher.
Chris and the wider team at Bluebird have been phenomenal to deal with and have provided the most seamless and personalised recruitment process I’ve experienced. The prep materials provided were incredibly helpful and they are with you every step of the way to help in any way they can. If every recruitment process was like this the world would be a better place. A truly 10/10 experience!
Bluebird were excellent throughout the entire hiring process. From initial contact through to signature, James made sure I was informed and kept comfortable the entire way. Their professionalism speaks volumes and I would highly recommend James and the team if you’re looking for your next role!
Couldn’t recommend Bluebird enough. Both Chris and James were wonderful to work with - they made what can often be a stressful process feel easy. Their communication was excellent, they were honest and approachable, and they found me an opportunity that I’m genuinely excited about.
James was phenomenal in helping me find a role that was a great fit for me. His follow up and execution placed me in a position where I was able to successfully secure my new role. I’m very grateful for the opportunity and would recommend his organisation to those who are seeking exciting roles within the IT industry
Scott is amazing. He reached out to me at exactly the right time, understood what I was looking for and placed me in the perfect role. It is no exaggeration to say he changed the course of my career for the best. As a candidate, I cannot recommend him highly enough.
