Roles we staff
Data engineers
Build and maintain pipelines, warehouses, and the data models your reports and products depend on.
Data scientists
Frame business questions, build models, run experiments, and explain results in plain language.
ML engineers
Take models into production: training pipelines, deployment, monitoring, and integration with your apps.
Analysts
Turn raw data into dashboards, reports, and recommendations your managers can act on.
How we screen
Data roles are easy to oversell on a resume. Our screening focuses on proof of work.
- Role intake. We learn your data sources, tools, and the first questions or systems the person will own.
- Recruiter screen. We check experience, communication, and whether past projects match your needs.
- Technical assessment. A role-specific exercise: a SQL and data modeling task for data engineers and analysts, a problem framing and modeling exercise for data scientists, or a deployment and monitoring discussion for ML engineers.
- Project walk-through. Candidates explain a past project: the data, the decisions they made, and what they would do differently.
- Shortlist. You get a short list with our notes on strengths and gaps.
How it fits with your team
A data hire works best when someone on your side owns the questions. We help you write that into the role profile. If you need data infrastructure first, look at our cloud engineer staffing. If you want reporting set up as a service instead of a hire, see marketing analytics services. For AI work you would rather hand off, see AI automation or AI services.
When it is the wrong fit
If your data is scattered across spreadsheets with no plan, a data scientist will spend months cleaning instead of modeling. Start with a data engineer or an analyst. If you want to try AI on a single workflow, a delivered project is usually faster than a hire.
Frequently asked questions
What roles does AI and data science staffing cover?
Data engineers, data scientists, machine learning engineers, and data analysts, on contract, project, or permanent terms.
How do you test data candidates?
With a role-specific exercise and a walk-through of a past project, after a recruiter screen.
Should I hire a data scientist or a data engineer first?
Usually a data engineer or analyst first, if your data is not yet clean and in one place. Models need reliable data.
Can I hire for a single project?
Yes. Use project staffing for a defined data project with an end date.
What does a machine learning engineer do that a data scientist doesn't?
ML engineers take models into production: training pipelines, deployment, monitoring and integration with your apps. Data scientists frame business questions, build models, run experiments and explain results.
Should I hire for AI or start with a delivered AI project?
If you want to try AI on a single workflow, a delivered project is usually faster than a hire. A hire makes sense when you have ongoing data work and someone on your side who owns the questions.
What should we prepare before AI and data science staffing starts?
Know your data sources and tools, the first questions or systems the person will own, and who on your side owns those questions. We help write that into the role profile.

Before you book
Common concerns, answered
“Hiring is a hassle.”
For Casper VA roles we handle recruiting, HR and payroll, so there are no payroll taxes or benefits for you to manage.
“What will this cost me?”
You get a fixed, written quote before any work starts. Nothing begins until you've seen the full price and signed the scope. How pricing works.
“I've been burned by an agency before.”
Your signed scope lists exactly what's delivered, so there's no guessing. Monthly plans are month-to-month, with no long-term contract.
“Will I actually reach a person?”
Yes. Founder Jared Casper reviews every new request and you get a personal reply within 1 business day. Or call or text 1-207-222-7737.
