For AI data, evaluation and recruiting teams

The sourcing engine
for scarce experts.

Staffron searches the open web for proof of expertise, scores every candidate against your rubric and runs outreach until they reply. Our team verifies every name before it reaches you.

§ 01 · The engine

One system. Every search.

Every search runs through the same pipeline. It gets sharper with each run.

§ 02 · How it works

Software does the volume. People do the judgment.

01

Map

Your brief becomes search signals and a scoring rubric.

Human: we agree what good looks like with you.

02

Search

The engine searches the open web and matches on full profiles, not titles.

Human: none. This is where the volume comes from.

03

Score and verify

Every candidate is enriched, deduplicated and scored against the rubric.

Human: we review the scored list and check claims against the evidence.

04

Reach

Sequenced outreach, reply handling, questions, objections and booked calls.

Human: we step in on edge cases and hand over interested candidates.

About 24 hours to a scored list. Interested candidates usually start arriving in 3-4 days.

§ 03 · Signals

We read what
keyword search can't.

Professional profilesPersonal sitesPublications and papersWider digital footprint
Hard skills and experience
Domain expertise and interests
Availability and job status

Keyword search reads the first column. The engine reads all four.

§ 04 · What you get

What you actually get.

Every candidate arrives with verified credentials, evidence of depth, and confirmed availability. You evaluate fit, not chase ghosts.

Why they fit

PhD with published work on chain-of-thought reasoning. Has already contributed to two prior RLHF projects.

Evidence

Published papers, eval frameworks on GitHub, active in math-reasoning communities.

Next step

Ready for a first conversation this week.

Our note

Strong fit for graduate-level reasoning data and formal-logic eval. Lighter on production ML, but this project won't require it.

Illustrative record. Sample data.

§ 05 · Use cases

Built for the verticals that
take a quarter to fill.

Contributor networks

AI data and evaluation companies

Credentialed contributors for RLHF, SFT, red teaming and evaluation. From a first specialist to a full contributor network.

Top of funnel

Recruiting firms

A white-label top of funnel. The engine runs sourcing, outreach, replies, CVs and qualification. Your recruiters run the calls.

Verticals delivered
  • Transcription and voice AI
  • RLHF and preference ranking
  • Red teaming
  • Specialist developers: niche libraries, bot builders
  • Management consulting, junior through MBB
  • Law, multiple practice areas
  • STEM PhDs: biochemistry, physics, AI/ML, computer science
  • 20+ STEM projects delivered
§ 06 · Proof

Running at production volume.

300+

Experts sourced and accepted in a single quarter.

We have sourced for a Bezos-backed AI data company, a $2bn-revenue expert-data marketplace, a $500m AI data lab and specialist recruitment firms across Europe. One step removed, the experts we source post-train and evaluate models at the largest AI labs.

§ 08 · FAQ

Frequently asked.

Software. The Staffron Engine is our own system: open-web retrieval, enrichment, rubric scoring and outreach, built and run in-house. Today we operate it alongside your team, and a person reviews every candidate before you see them. That is the human in the loop, not the product.
The credential-heavy ones internal teams stall on: STEM PhDs in physics, biochemistry, AI/ML and computer science, lawyers across practice areas, management consultants from junior to MBB, specialist developers, and contributors for transcription and voice AI. We source individual specialists and build RLHF and SFT contributor networks in these domains, from a first specialist to a full bench.
The open web: professional profiles, publications, repositories, personal sites and community footprints. Every search sources fresh, on top of our own pool of ~40k previously sourced experts.
Credential fraud is real in this market, so we verify before you see a name. Every claim is checked against the evidence: published work, code, case records. We also confirm domain depth and current availability.
About 24 hours from brief to a scored, qualified list. Interested candidates usually start arriving within 3-4 days.
