AI as a driving force behind your growth

AI & data recruitment agency with in-depth knowledge of financial services, energy, and compliance.

Bright People.
Bright Future.

Starz in AI was founded on one clear insight: the AI revolution demands a new kind of recruitment. We are the only niche AI & data recruitment agency in the Netherlands that combines in-depth technical expertise with years of recruitment and HR experience, built up at the director level in the sectors that matter most.

Our core team has proven itself in highly regulated sectors such as banking, financial services, pension funds, insurance, energy, telecom, and software. With specialist knowledge of information security, privacy, and data governance, we assess whether a candidate can build AI solutions that are not only innovative but also secure and compliant.

For you as an AI & data professional, this means a partner who truly understands your field. Who knows the difference between an MLOps engineer building pipelines and an AI architect redesigning data governance. Not based on keywords, but on real knowledge.

We match on more than just job title. Culture, work style, ambitions, and technical fit, our core team understands what a role truly entails and what you really need to grow.

Our mission

Our mission is clear: to connect the best AI and data professionals with the organizations where they make the biggest difference. But we go beyond placement. We are deliberately building a community of AI and data professionals, the innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Through our platform, they have a personal environment and direct access to the Starz AIcademy, where they continuously develop and stay at the forefront of the latest developments in their field.

We believe that organizations investing now in the right AI and data professionals will be the market leaders of tomorrow. In highly regulated sectors such as financial services and energy, the bar is set high: compliance, security, and data quality are not an afterthought but business-critical. That is why we work only with professionals who not only excel technically but also understand what it means to operate in a regulated environment. That is the difference we make.
