Forward Role’s AI Recruitment Solutions
Ask most businesses what an AI hire looks like and they'll describe a machine learning researcher. In practice the demand is far wider. Companies need engineers to build AI into their products, trainers to teach their people how to use it, and marketers and data scientists who can put it to work every day.
We've watched that shift happen in our own numbers. Before 2025, AI roles were a rarity on our desks. Since January 2025 we've made 80+ AI related placements, and the demand is increasing exponentially. AI has gone from an occasional request to a fast-growing part of what we do.
The work falls into three camps. For AI-led health, Fin tech and software businesses, we build the engineering teams behind the product, from senior and lead AI engineers to the full-stack, TypeScript and DevOps engineers who ship alongside them. For training providers, we've placing volumes of AI trainers and AI learning designers, as organisations rush to upskill their workforce. And for consumer brands, we find data scientists, AI content creators and AI-savvy search specialists who turn new tools into commercial results.
Behind that sits a network built in real conversations rather than databases alone. Our consultants are connected to 3000+ people working in AI, machine learning and data science, including nearly 700 at Head of level and above. Combined with our 70,000-strong candidate database and AI-powered sourcing, it gives us a head start on finding people who have already done what you need.
If AI is on your roadmap but not yet on your org chart, talk to us about the first hire. And if you're an AI engineer, trainer or data scientist weighing up your next move, we'd like to hear what you're looking for.
