Enterprise Talent Acquisition Overhaul

Sama · Technology · Enterprise

Sama is a leader in providing high-quality training data for AI and Machine Learning. They partner with industry giants to help build and improve mission-critical AI applications. With offices in Montreal, Nairobi, Kampala, and NYC, Sama needed a strategic hiring partner who could understand the complexities of their global operation and business needs. As a socially conscious company, Sama also needed to find candidates who aligned with their vision and values, particularly around using AI ethically and responsibly. Their business model includes providing digital jobs to people in underserved communities, so culturally-aligned talent was essential. While experiencing significant growth, Sama needed to ramp up their engineering team in Montreal, but faced challenges with their existing recruitment process.
