Summer work exp with my daughter in Lisbon 🇵🇹
Nothing beats showing her the real world of work, teaching her more about the world of #AI and how I run the company remotely.
3000 contact location updates later and she's earned her first proper paycheck.
Proud dad moment.

Record attendance, incredible energy.
Met lots of researchers I know (plus new faces), and some clients!
Congrats to all paper acceptances and best paper winners!
This space moves so fast - always learning 🚀

My AI transcriber strips out "please" but keeps everything else 🤖
"Can you send me your CV please?" becomes "Can you send me your CV?"
As a Brit, questions now sound like demands.
Manually adding "please" back kinda defeats the point of using AI transcription, right?

Why choose specialist AI recruiters?
Market insight - they speak the technical language
Reputation focus - success depends on service
Targeted network - established relationships
Efficiency - right fit in weeks, not months
Generic=wide nets. Specialists=precision.

How companies lose top AI talent:
Lowball initial offers
Drawn-out processes
Unclear technical vision
No leadership involvement
Poor communication
When talent has 5+ options, your process previews your culture.

Competition is rife. Researcher I worked with had 7 offers.
SEVEN! 🤯
For startups to win:
1️⃣ Best offer first
2️⃣ Fast, enjoyable process
3️⃣ Be transparent
4️⃣ Show they're #1 (dinners, fly them in)
Highest comp isn't always the decider.

🙄 When hiring managers say "2-4 years experience"
Translation: Autonomous but not senior-level pay.
Reality: Junior to mid-level salary jump in AI is VAST. Every hiring company wants mid-level, driving up demand & comp.
Want solid mid-level? Pay for it.

Everyone: "You must use AI to screen/reject candidates!"

A common mistake in technical interviews?
Not asking enough questions! 🎯
Whether it's a take-home task or real-time coding challenge, too many candidates dive straight in without clarification.
