The problem

Tools are easy to buy. The people who make them work are not.

Most teams already have AI licences, a pilot or two and a backlog of ideas. What they lack is the experienced people to take one use case to production safely and prove it works.

Pilots stall without owners

A demo works, then nobody has the time or skills to harden, integrate and run it.

No evidence it is safe to release

AI agents change with every prompt, model and data update. Without evaluation, every release is a guess.

Regulation lands on full teams

AI Act duties for transparency, literacy and high-risk systems arrive while your best people are busy delivering.

How it works

From first call to a working expert in your team

  1. Share the need

    Tell us the role or outcome, seniority, time zone and start date. A 15-minute call or the form is enough.

  2. We shortlist

    Practitioners screen candidates with real agent, evaluation and ops tasks. We aim to introduce the first profiles within days.

  3. You choose

    You interview the people you like and make the decision. We agree scope, model and terms up front.

  4. Day-one start

    Your expert starts with an onboarding plan and early goals. We check in regularly so impact shows early.

FAQ

Common questions

What does AI AgentOps do?

Two things. We source and place vetted AI specialists in your team, from across Europe and the USA. And we deliver AI agent services: build, test and evaluation, operations (AIOps) and EU AI Act readiness.

Which AI roles can you source?

AI agent engineers, AI QA and evaluation specialists, LLMOps/AIOps and MLOps engineers, data and AI governance specialists, AI security and red-team experts, AI platform and integration engineers, and AI quality leads.

How fast can an expert start?

We aim to introduce the first profiles within days of a clear brief. The start date then depends on the candidate's notice period and your onboarding. Many specialists can start right away.

Which engagement models do you offer?

Interim, secondment (detachering), a project team around one outcome, and remote or nearshore work with EU or US time-zone overlap. We choose the model with you, with Dutch rules such as the Wet DBA in mind.

How do you vet candidates?

Practitioners who build and test AI in production screen every candidate with practical tasks in agents, evaluation and operations. You then interview the people you like and make the decision yourself.

Do you work outside the Netherlands?

Yes. We are based in the Netherlands and work with clients and specialists across Europe and the USA, remotely or on site.

What does it cost?

It depends on the role, seniority, location and model: a day rate, a monthly retainer or a fixed-scope project. After a short intake you get a clear proposal. There is no fee for the first conversation.

Can you help with the EU AI Act?

Yes. We help you classify your AI systems, close gaps in testing, logging, human oversight and documentation, and build AI literacy. We are not a law firm, so we work alongside your legal advisers.
