Where should your next AI engineer actually come from? In-house recruiters, an external recruiting partner, a freelance marketplace, or a full-time nearshore model? Darius Gant of Tesoro AI walks through the five questions founders should settle before making the call.
In this video:
- In-house vs external recruiters: when a stretched internal team benefits from outside support
- Generalist vs specialist recruiters: why scarce AI roles need role-specific sourcing and screening
- Marketplace vs recruiting agency: when a freelance platform fits the work, and when a role-screened full-time hire is safer
- Staff augmentation vs internal hire: when a full-time nearshore model helps the roadmap move while payroll and compliance are handled
- Generalist ML engineer vs specialist: how to choose the role based on the problem, not the title
An engineer who understands the role, the stack, and the problem has a better chance of building work that fits the business, and that is the judgment these five questions test for.
At Tesoro AI, we focus on the top 5% of LATAM AI engineers, run human-led screening against your specific role requirements, confirm bilingual capability and Americas time-zone alignment, and handle compliance, payroll, and contracts. The first pod, your starting team of engineers, is sourced in 7 days or less.
