Future-proof transformation with AI & data

We help find and attract the most brilliant AI and data talent.

Our services

Starz in AI offers a comprehensive range of services, including Search & Selection for direct permanent employment, Secondment with complete unburdening and traineeships, Highly Skilled Migrants for hard-to-fill roles, and Interim Management for a fast, high-quality fulfillment of an assignment.

With a personal and collaborative approach, we create the perfect match between your company and top tier AI & data experts, with a focus on individual growth. We thrive on supporting your business by delivering the right talent and thinking strategically alongside you. At the same time, we empower our AI & data heroes to develop their skills and accelerate their careers.

Search & Selection

With search & selection, the candidate is hired directly by the client on a permanent contract. A one-time fee is charged, based on a percentage of the candidate’s gross annual full-time salary, including holiday pay and fixed benefits for the first year of employment.

Highly Skilled Migrants

For certain positions, particularly in the Technology, qualified candidates can be scarce within the Netherlands. In such cases, hiring a highly skilled migrant can be an effective solution. As a recognized IND sponsor, Starz in AI enables candidates to start through both secondment and search & selection.

Secondment

By hiring an AI & data expert on a secondment basis, you benefit from a dedicated and motivated professional or trainee for the (agreed) duration of a contract. However, the candidate remains employed by Starz in AI, so we handle training and development and take responsibility for sick leave and administrative tasks.

Interim Management

Starz in AI offers access to a broad network of experienced professionals in AI & data, ready to be deployed, often within just 48 hours. Our user-friendly back-office portal and app are specifically designed to streamline the onboarding and management of freelancers and contractors.

Personal approach

AI Agent Architect

AI agents are essential to enabling autonomous processes and businesses. A well-designed AI agent leverages internal resources and external Generative AI to execute tasks independently. The AI Agent Architect builds the foundational components, combining expertise in systems, processes, and GenAI.

AI Engineer

Implementing Generative AI through scalable, reusable applications requires reliability, security, and cost-efficiency. The AI Engineer serves as the critical link between data science experimentation and production-ready AI solutions, ensuring they deliver measurable value to the organization.

Data Engineer

By automating modern lakehouse technology using Infrastructure-as-Code, the Data Platform Engineer builds efficient, high-speed pipelines while minimizing cloud costs. Their platform enables self-service data access for analysts and data scientists, empowering them to launch experiments without delays.

Governance Expert

With the EU AI Act now in force, strong data and AI governance is more important than ever. AI Governance Managers translate regulatory requirements into verifiable processes, transparency measures, and risk assessments. This expert embeds ethical AI across the organization and reinforces compliance.
