Recruiting Services for Data and AI Teams

KDR Talent Solutions helps organizations hire specialist talent across data, analytics, AI and machine learning. We support permanent hiring, contract recruitment, executive search and embedded recruiting for teams that need access to the right people, not just more applicants.

Whether you are making one critical hire, scaling a data team or building AI capability, we can help you reach candidates with the skills, experience and motivations to succeed.

Specialist hiring needs a focused approach. Data and AI roles can be difficult to define, and small differences in title, technical stack, compensation, location or team structure can change the candidate market completely.


KDR works with employers to understand the role, the team and the hiring challenge before going to market. That helps us identify relevant candidates, position opportunities clearly and manage a recruitment process that works for both clients and candidates.


  • We support hiring across data engineering, analytics, data architecture, data governance, data management, AI engineering, machine learning, MLOps, LLMs and data leadership.

Permanent hiring is about finding people who can add long-term value to your business.


KDR helps organizations hire permanent data and AI professionals across technical, commercial and leadership roles. We work with employers to understand the purpose of the role, the skills required, the team environment and the kind of person who will succeed.



Our permanent recruiting support can include role qualification, candidate search, shortlist creation, interview coordination, offer management and candidate communication throughout the process.


Permanent recruiting is often the right approach when you are building internal capability, replacing a key team member, hiring for a business-critical role or investing in long-term data and AI growth.

Contract recruiting gives businesses access to specialist skills when speed, flexibility or project delivery matters.


KDR supports contract hiring across data and AI roles, including project-based work, urgent delivery needs, interim support and specialist skills gaps. We help employers reach contractors who can step into a role quickly and add value in the right environment.

Contract recruiting can be useful when you need support for a migration, implementation, analytics project, AI initiative, governance program, platform build or leadership gap.



We can advise on candidate availability, contract rates, timelines and what the market is likely to respond to.

Senior data and AI appointments need a more targeted search approach.


KDR supports executive search for senior, specialist and confidential hires across data, analytics, AI and machine learning. This can include Heads of Data, Directors of Data, Chief Data Officers, AI leaders, data architecture leaders and senior technical specialists.

Executive search is useful when the candidate market is narrow, the role is business-critical or the appointment requires a more discreet and structured process.



We help clients define the brief, understand the market, identify relevant profiles and engage senior candidates with a clear, credible message.

Some hiring challenges need closer, ongoing support.


Embedded recruiting gives organizations additional recruiting capability inside or alongside their existing hiring team. This can be useful during periods of growth, transformation, team build-out or increased hiring demand.


KDR can support embedded recruiting across data and AI functions, helping with candidate sourcing, role qualification, market engagement, process management and communication with hiring stakeholders.



This gives employers flexible recruiting support without needing to permanently expand their internal team.

How we work with Employers

Every hiring project starts with understanding the role and the wider business context.


We take time to understand what you are trying to achieve, the skills you need, the team structure, the technical environment, compensation expectations and the candidate profile most likely to succeed.


From there, we help you reach the right candidate market and manage the process clearly.


Our support can include:

  • role qualification and briefing
  • candidate search and outreach
  • active and passive candidate engagement
  • shortlist creation
  • interview coordination
  • candidate communication
  • compensation and offer guidance
  • process feedback and market insight



The aim is to make hiring clearer, faster and better aligned to the people you actually need.
