How We Actually Vet AI Engineers (5 Questions, Honest Answers)

A candidate can have every keyword on the resume and still have never shipped a model that held up in production. In this video, Andrea answers the five questions clients ask before they trust a recruiter with an AI hire, and walks through the three human-led filters that separate the top 5% from everyone who interviews well.

WHAT THE VIDEO COVERS: → How Tesoro vets AI engineers beyond keywords: production readiness, independent delivery, and communication under ambiguity, all human-led → What happens when a candidate clears vetting but stumbles in the client interview → Why the shortlist stays at three to five people, and how that lifts offer-acceptance rates → What the client feedback loop looks like during an active search → What happens when the first hire does not hold, and how the process gets fixed
