'AI Engineer' is the most crowded, noisiest title in tech

  • Retained recruiters.
  • LinkedIn Recruiter seats.
  • Keyword-matched resumes.
  • Templated InMails.

Every engineer updated their LinkedIn with 'AI' in 2024. Your sourcing inbox is now full of people who've called an OpenAI endpoint once and now describe themselves as AI engineers.

The candidates who can actually build with LLMs — who understand retrieval, evals, tool use, caching, and how to ship against a moving model floor — are a small slice of that pool. They're often shipping real AI products and have no need to job-hunt.

You need sourcing that can distinguish 'has a repo with an OpenAI SDK call' from 'has shipped an evaluated, production-grade AI product.'

How Superposition finds your AI engineer

01

Real shipping signal

Our agent evaluates production AI work — eval harnesses, agent frameworks, RAG systems, and blog posts that show actual depth.

02

Frontier-fluent intake

Our voice agent speaks the language — MCP, tool use, prompt caching, LLM-as-judge — so the requirements get captured precisely.

03

Cuts the LinkedIn noise

No candidates with 'AI' tacked onto a resume. Only engineers with demonstrable, shipped AI work.

04

Speed in a hot market

AI engineers get snapped up fast. We surface curated shortlists in weeks, not months.

Questions.
Answered.

Traditional recruiters charge 20–30% of first-year salary and run a generic search across multiple clients at once. Our agent goes deep on just your company — researching thousands of candidates and bringing back people who are specifically a fit, not just generically good.

$500 per agent per month operational, plus a 15% success fee on first-year base salary only — not equity, not bonus. No retainer, no upfront commitment, no percentage-of-OTE gotchas.

Most searches produce a curated shortlist within 2–3 weeks. Signed offers range from 5 to 12 weeks end-to-end, depending on role seniority and your interview cadence.

We offer a 90-day replacement guarantee. If they leave for any reason within 90 days, we re-run the search at no additional cost.

There's an initial voice intake — usually 30–45 minutes — where the agent learns your company, values, and the specific shape of who you're hiring. After that, you review curated candidates as they come in. No daily standups.
