Are you looking for an AI engineer, machine learning (ML) scientist or head of AI who understands AI systems and can implement and scale them effectively? At BESTMINDS, our recruitment consultants have first-hand experience in the tech industry and specialise in filling AI and machine learning roles.
Machine learning engineers, AI scientists, and MLOps specialists are in high demand worldwide, but they rarely use traditional job platforms. To attract these professionals, you need a targeted network, a compelling pitch, and an understanding of the AI community.
AI professionals must not only be able to train models, but also understand how AI systems are integrated into products and business processes. Our recruitment consultants evaluate both of these aspects based on their own industry experience.
We cover the entire AI spectrum, from Research Scientists and Applied ML Engineers to MLOps Specialists and Heads of AI. We understand the different job requirements that exist throughout the ML pipeline.
Whether it’s large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, computer vision, or traditional predictive analytics: We’re well-versed in the various AI disciplines and can find the right solution for your application.
BESTMINDS has deliberately specialized in five core industries, including IT and media. This focus sets us apart from generalists and is crucial to our candidate selection process.
The time from initial engagement to contract signing averages 6 to 12 weeks. There are clear milestones, binding interim deliverables, and no vague promises.
Up to an 18-month guarantee following placement. We stand behind our work, even if circumstances change.
Please note the following important information on the use of our contact form: We process the data entered according to the specifications regarding the contact form in our privacy policy. If you do not agree, we ask you to refrain from using the contact form.

We analyze your AI strategy, your technology stack, and the specific requirements for the role you’re looking to fill. Our recruitment consultants have firsthand experience with AI and ML roles, as well as the unique characteristics of the AI community.
We identify and reach out to qualified candidates, including those who are not actively looking for a job. Discretion is a given for us.
You will receive a carefully selected shortlist with complete candidate profiles and our personal assessment, not a stack of resumes.
We support you throughout the entire interview process, salary negotiations, and onboarding phase. Right up to the final signature and beyond.
Feel free to send us a message with your inquiry using the contact form, even if the function you are looking for is not listed there.
Our recruitment consultants for the IT and media sectors have worked in these fields themselves. This means they understand AI roles, the expectations for ML professionals, and the unique characteristics of the AI community from firsthand experience.
Managing Partner
IT / Media, Medical Technology, Life Sciences / Pharma and Energy / Utilities Sector
We were looking for a Head of AI to transition our LLM product from the research phase to full-scale operation while simultaneously building an AI team. BESTMINDS immediately understood the demands of this role and introduced us to the right candidate within eleven weeks.
CTO, AI Product Company
Generative AI / Berlin, 2025
We cover the entire spectrum: Head of AI, VP of AI, ML Engineer, Senior ML Engineer, AI Research Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer, MLOps Engineer, and AI Product Manager. We serve both AI-native companies and those looking to integrate AI into their core product.
AI professionals are in high demand worldwide, but rarely respond to job postings. They have very specific expectations regarding research freedom, computing resources, and technical infrastructure. To make a strong impression on the AI community, technical expertise and a targeted network are essential.
Yes, predictive analytics, recommender systems, anomaly detection, and traditional supervised learning applications remain highly relevant. We cover the entire ML spectrum, not just the current generative AI hype.
On average, it takes 6 to 12 weeks from the initial request to the signing of the contract. For highly specialized AI roles, the search may take a little longer, depending on the level of specialization. We communicate realistic timelines from the very beginning.
The fee is based on the target annual salary for the position to be filled. We communicate this transparently and openly, with no hidden costs.
