# Hire NLP Engineers

A lot of business data is text: emails, tickets, contracts, reviews, notes. NLP engineers turn it into something you can count, route and search. Today that often means an LLM, but not always.

- Senior, pre-vetted engineers only
- You interview and choose before anyone starts
- Working-hours overlap with India, the UK and the USA

48-hour turnaround · free · no obligation

### Talk to us about hiring NLP engineers

Tell us what you want to build. A senior engineer sends back a scope and a fixed price within two business days, no obligation.

In short

## The quick answer

A small trained classifier can be faster and far cheaper for high-volume work, and our engineers know when to use which.

The role

## What our NLP engineers do

### What our NLP engineers build

- Ticket and email classification and routing
- Entity and field extraction from documents
- Semantic search across large text collections
- Sentiment and topic analysis on feedback
- Multilingual text processing

### When to hire a NLP engineer

- People manually sort or tag large volumes of text
- You want structured data out of documents
- Search across your text returns poor results
- LLM costs are too high for a high-volume text task

Engagement models

## Three ways to work with us

### Staff augmentation

Add one or two senior engineers to your existing team to close a specific skill gap. Your leads, our specialists.

### Dedicated team

A small senior team working only on your roadmap, with a lead who owns delivery.

### Defined project

A scoped build such as a RAG system, a model or a pipeline, delivered to an agreed outcome.

FAQ

## Hiring NLP engineers: FAQs

[Ask us something else](https://agilitytech.ai/contact)

**LLM or a traditional NLP model?+**

LLMs are quick to set up and handle messy text well. For high volumes of a narrow task, a small fine-tuned model is often cheaper and faster. We usually prototype with an LLM and move to a smaller model if the numbers justify it.

**Can you handle languages other than English?+**

Yes. Many current models are multilingual, and we test on your actual languages before committing.

**How accurate will it be?+**

We measure it on your own labelled examples before launch rather than quoting a generic figure.

**Can extracted data go straight into our systems?+**

Yes, with validation rules so uncertain or malformed results go to a person first.
