Why Witarist

The fastest path to a vetted AI Engineer developer

  • 48-hour shortlist

    Vetted profiles in your inbox in two days, not two weeks.

  • Pre-vetted at four stages

    Every developer clears fundamentals, framework depth, system design, and a live coding round.

  • No recruiter fees

    Flat monthly retainer per profile — no 20% placement charges, no platform markup.

  • NDA + IP transfer day one

    Standard mutual NDA and complete IP assignment to your company before work starts.

  • Two-week replacement window

    If the engagement isn't working in the first 14 days, we re-shortlist at no cost.

  • Direct interaction, no middlemen

    You interview the developer directly. No account-manager-by-proxy hiring.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can I hire a AI Engineer from Witarist?

We typically share a vetted AI Engineer shortlist within 48 hours of receiving your brief. Most AI Engineer engagements onboard within 7 days, complete with NDA and IP assignment.

What does the AI Engineer vetting process look like?

Every AI Engineer we present has passed a four-stage screen: technical fundamentals, role-specific deep dive, system design or architecture (depending on seniority), and a live coding/design round. You only see candidates who pass all four.

What's the monthly cost of a AI Engineer?

Cost varies with seniority and engagement length. We share a transparent monthly retainer per profile — no hourly billing, no recruiter fees, no hidden charges. Pricing is competitive with India staff-augmentation market rates.

Do AI Engineer engagements include NDA and IP transfer?

Yes. Every engagement starts with a mutual NDA and a complete IP assignment in your favour. All AI Engineer deliverables — code, designs, decisions, documentation — belong to your company from day one.

Can I hire a AI Engineer full-time, part-time, or for a fixed project?

All three. Full-time (160 hrs/month) is the most common engagement, but part-time dedicated and fixed-scope project bookings are available. Switch between models with two weeks' notice.

Are your AI Engineer candidates available for remote, hybrid, or onsite?

Yes — primarily remote with timezone overlap, but we support hybrid and onsite arrangements. Specify your preference in the brief and we'll filter the shortlist accordingly.

How senior are the AI Engineer candidates?

Our AI Engineer network ranges from 2-12+ years of experience. We can shortlist for any seniority — junior, mid, senior, or lead — based on your scope and budget.

What if the AI Engineer isn't the right fit after onboarding?

We have a two-week replacement window: tell us within 14 days and we re-shortlist at no extra cost. You only pay for the time the engagement is working for you.
