FAQ ## Hiring AI developers: common questions Everything you need to know about hiring AI developers through Agility. [Ask us something else](https://agilitytech.ai/contact) **How do I hire AI developers through Agility?+** Share your requirements on a short call and we send profiles of pre-vetted senior AI developers matched to your stack and domain. You interview the shortlist, select your developers or dedicated team, and they start fast. There is no long recruiting cycle because every engineer is screened before they reach you. Most teams reach production AI in 3 to 8 weeks. **What types of AI developers and engineers can I hire?+** You can hire machine learning developers, AI engineers, LLM and generative AI engineers, data engineers, MLOps engineers, computer vision engineers, and data scientists. Every engineer is senior and pre-vetted, and you can engage them as a dedicated AI team, as staff augmentation, or for a fixed-scope project. **Can I hire dedicated AI developers for a fixed-scope project?+** Yes. Our fixed-scope model is built for defined deliverables, a RAG pipeline, a custom ML model, a computer vision system, or a data platform, with a clear scope, milestone-based delivery, and full ownership through to launch and handover. **What is the difference between staff augmentation and a dedicated AI development team?+** Staff augmentation embeds one or two senior AI engineers into your existing team to close a specific skill gap, ideal when you already have technical leadership but need a capability like LLM integration or MLOps. A dedicated AI development team is a group of engineers working exclusively on your roadmap, better suited to multi-month initiatives where requirements evolve and continuity matters. Both are staffed with senior, pre-vetted engineers. **How quickly can I hire AI engineers and start?+** Fast. You typically receive matched profiles within about 48 hours and start delivery within days of selecting your team. There is no multi-week screening cycle to wait through. From there, most engagements reach production AI in 3 to 8 weeks. **How senior are the developers, and how are they vetted?+** Every developer is a senior AI/ML engineer with hands-on production experience, running real systems, not just research or coursework. Each one is pre-vetted through a technical screening covering code review, system design, and real production scenarios before joining your engagement. **Can I hire LLM or generative AI developers specifically?+** Yes. Our LLM and generative AI engineers build RAG pipelines, agents, and production LLM features with evaluation and guardrails. If you want strategy alongside the build, our generative AI consulting and custom AI development teams work hand in hand with your hired developers. **How much does it cost to hire AI developers, and where are they based?+** Our senior AI/ML engineers are India-headquartered in Ahmedabad and typically cost roughly 40 to 60% less than comparable US or UK firms, with working hours arranged to overlap your team across the UK, US, and India. Pricing depends on the engagement model, specialisation, and duration. Contact us for a no-obligation estimate based on your requirements. **Can I hire AI developers in India through Agility?+** Yes. When you hire AI developers in India with Agility, you work with senior, pre-vetted ML and LLM engineers based at our Ahmedabad headquarters, at roughly 40 to 60% lower cost than comparable US or UK firms and with working hours arranged to overlap your team across the UK, US, and India. You can engage them as a dedicated AI development team, as staff augmentation, or on a fixed-scope project, and most engagements ship production AI in 3 to 8 weeks.
