What we do
We spot AI talent for companies.
We identify, assess and place professionals who pair functional expertise with applied AI, from specialists to C-level leaders.
Our ambition: find the top 1% of talent in every role.
Who we search for
AI-ready talent. Across business roles.
From specialists and managers to directors and C-level, across ten business functions.
AI Readiness
Apply AI with judgement and practical results.
Role Skills
Functional expertise for the demands of the role.
Soft Skills
Collaboration, adaptability and change management.
The shift
AI is changing every role. Few can prove they are ready.
Hiring still runs on CVs, keywords and general interviews. We identify people who apply AI in the real context of a business.
AI-aware
Knows the language
AI-enabled
Uses the tools
AI-ready
Creates commercial and operational value
OPERATOR-LED TALENT
Real operators. Proven hiring judgement.
Our founders have made 1,000+ hires for their own teams. We assess talent through business experience, functional expertise and hands-on AI knowledge.
The first step is not search
Define the real role before you hire for it.
Most companies do not have an AI talent shortage. They have a clarity shortage.
InnerGap™ turns the business challenge into a precise talent mandate and defines how success will be proven.
Only then do we search.
