AI product recruitment for teams that want real delivery

Find AI specialists who build systems teams can trust

Demand for AI Engineers, LLM Engineers and AI Product Managers has accelerated fast, with skills in these roles shifting 66% quicker than the wider tech market. Every sector wants reliable models, safer systems and AI features that actually ship. The challenge is finding people who can move beyond prototypes and build tools teams can trust.

MCS Group is a specialist technology recruitment agency with a deep network across AI engineering, applied AI and AI product roles. We stay close to the people working in model deployment, fine tuning, evaluation, MLOps and AI product delivery across the UK, Ireland and wider markets. That gives us access to talent and opportunities you will not find on standard job boards.

Supporting Work That Turns AI Ideas Into Real Products

Only approximately 5% of custom or embedded AI tools ever make it into production with real, measurable impact. Features stall because no one defines the use case, evaluation breaks under pressure and teams lose time fixing issues that should have been caught early. We help organisations hire the people who prevent this and support specialists who want roles where their work is built to ship, not sit in a slide deck.
