The roster

The shapes AI work actually needs.

AI Leadership

Sets the AI agenda, picks the bets, and moves the company from scattered pilots to systems that actually work.

Roles we typically place

  • Head of AI
  • VP / Director of AI
  • Chief AI Officer
  • AI Transformation Lead
  • Fractional Head of AI

The private market

The best AI operators don't apply. They get handed. Founder to founder. Operator to operator. Human in Residence is the desk that brings them to your brief — with context on both sides.

The assessment

Every operator, assessed. Before you ever meet them.

Every operator in the network goes through our proprietary agentic skills assessment — real briefs, real tools, scored on what they ship. By the time a profile reaches you, rounds one and two are already done.

01

Skip two rounds.

Screening and technical vetting are done before a name reaches you. Your team starts where most processes end.

02

Proven, not promised.

The assessment runs on real briefs in real tools, scored on what gets shipped — not on how well someone interviews.

03

Matched to the brief, not the keyword.

We match assessed skills and shipped work against what your brief actually needs — no CV keyword lottery.

Assessed on real briefs · Rounds one and two, done · One introduction, made once

How it works

You're not posting a job. You're choosing an operator.

An AI operator, assessed and placed by Human in Residence

The network

Assessed before introduced

01.

Bring us the brief.

The role, the systems it touches, the constraint it has to live with. We scope it with you before anyone sees it.

02.

We match against assessed operators.

Not a keyword search — operators whose assessed skills and shipped work fit what the brief actually needs.

03.

You meet a shortlist that's already cleared two rounds.

One introduction, made once, when the mandate, trust, and timing line up. Your team interviews for fit and judgment — the shipping ability is already proven.
