Who is Recruiting from Scratch :
Recruiting from Scratch is a talent firm that focuses on placing the best candidate for our clients. Our team is 100% remote and we work with teams across North America, South America, and Europe to help them hire.
About Us
We're at the forefront of the next paradigm shift in artificial intelligence. While frontier AI labs focus on enhancing model intelligence, we're constructing the critical memory infrastructure for LLM cognition, a hippocampus for LLMs. True understanding of data doesn’t come from retrieval augmented generation and we’re fixing that. Our mission is to unlock unprecedented AI utility, paving the way for economic AGI and revolutionizing how intelligence is distilled and applied.
Our founding team comprises visionaries from diverse backgrounds: successful entrepreneurs, a Thiel Fellow, neuroscience researchers, and architects behind groundbreaking AI launches. This confluence of expertise positions us uniquely in the AI landscape.
