The talent partner behind some of the fastest-growing AI startups

Dataworks is a founder-led recruitment partner for Seed to Series B AI startups. We help founders and hiring leaders build engineering and go-to-market teams across the UK, Europe and the US.

Our technical searches cover software, platform, data and machine learning engineering. On the commercial side, we recruit founding salespeople, account executives, product marketers, growth leaders and other key GTM hires. We shape each search around the company stage, the work, and the environment the person is joining.

That includes onsite hiring in San Francisco and the Bay Area, building teams in New York, London and Paris, and supporting companies hiring across markets. We can work on a retained, exclusive, or embedded basis, depending on the role and hiring plan.

See how we have supported Plenful and Druid AI, or browse our case studies. If you are planning a hire, talk to Dataworks about your brief.

From first hires to full team builds, GTM to technical, we match the same pace and precision as the founders we partner with.

Our team operates across markets and time zones, giving startups the reach, speed, and expertise to grow globally.

We Are Global

With roots in Europe and the US, we help startups grow and scale into global brands.
