Hiring at the Frontier

​Every company in this town is fishing in the same pond.

The AI engineer, the materials scientist, the person who can take frontier research into a program of record — they already have four offers, and you are trying to ship at the same time. We are putting the people with that problem in one room.

​A thirty-minute panel across three fronts: AI inside a federal agency, frontier materials science, and technical recruiting at an AI startup. Three organizations competing for the same narrow pool of people, from very different positions. Where these people actually come from, what the good ones say yes to, and how a ten-person team wins a candidate against much bigger budgets.
