"TurnKey is the only offshore firm we've interacted with that really places an emphasis on retention. They seem to be the only ones that understand how important retention is to maintaining strong product development cycles. Our churn rate with TurnKey has been under 5% annually whereas we were at more than 50% with our previous vendor!"
Anya Alisova (US)
General Manager, R1We've hired 5 full-time software engineers through TurnKey. To date, not a single engineer has left our contract/arrangement. We worked with several U.S.-based recruitment firms, and none matched the speed and quality of candidates referred by TurnKey. Most impressive and unique about TurnKey is their willingness to reach for the perfect candidate. Our requirements are strict, and they did not compromise.
Kyle Dodson (US)
Head of Engineering, Salad Technologies"It's been nearly two years of us working together and we have not had the need to replace a single developer. The programmers have all performed very well and TurnKey has been able to give us information that has helped to retain our key players."
Mackezie Drazan (US)
CEO of MiResourceWe have hired 5 total developers including tech lead, full stack, dev ops and firmware. For each hire, a strong pipeline of candidates was provided, and the TurnKey team performed a lot of pre-screening such that those that entered the funnel were strong and relevant. They also helped with setting salary comp, and closing. Finally they continue to provide HR services as well as legal admin services associated with employment of a geographically diverse group of developers.
Fletcher Wilson (US)
CEOWe started with 8 hired developers and there have been no problems with any of the hires. We are currently monitoring them as we do all engineers but there is nothing to report that would make us consider this arrangement with TurnKey anything but successful. The transparent pricing up front as well as the genuine desire to continue improving with each hire we make is a big difference maker for us.
Chris Oh (US)
Chief of Staff, CTOTurnKey provided high-quality talent at a cost-effective price. We employed TurnKey to manage the hiring/HR/Legal for >80% of our entire Product team - from identifying and hiring Team Leads, to agent level support roles. I also appreciated that they were proactive in suggesting certain criteria and requirements when first starting our search for key team lead members.
Ryan Rice (US)
Founder & CEO of ResNet AI Inc.We reviewed several similar companies and along with the cost the major deciding factor was the quality of experienced candidates TurnKey was presenting to us. The additional team members worked alongside our scrum teams delivering new feature functionality and enhancements to our platform.We're impressed with the quality of their candidates and the work ethic they demonstrate on a day-to-day basis in our agile ceremonies.
Sandy Speirs (US)
Director Of Engineering at Sertifi, Inc.TurnKey is well versed in the startup ecosystem and really understands our needs when it comes to offshore dev, particularly how our needs may be different than the needs of a huge public company. I don’t have to explain as much to TurnKey as I have had to do with other offshore vendors—they seem to get it on the first take. But at the end of the day, all we really care about is quality, and TurnKey has delivered the goods on this front better than other firms we’ve worked with in the past.

Key Questions – and Answers! – about AI/ML developers
Why is AI development popular?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) development is gaining immense popularity across various industries due to its potential to revolutionize the way businesses operate. AI has the capability to automate routine tasks, analyze large volumes of data to extract meaningful insights, enhance customer experiences, and much more. It can help businesses streamline their operations, improve efficiency, and make informed decisions based on data-driven insights.
From customer service chatbots that provide instant support to customers, to predictive analytics that help businesses anticipate market trends and make strategic decisions, AI is transforming the way businesses operate. Furthermore, AI development is not just limited to large corporations. With the advent of AI development platforms and tools, even small and medium-sized businesses can leverage AI to improve their operations and gain a competitive edge. Hence, the popularity of AI development is skyrocketing.
How to hire an AI/ML developer?
Hiring an AI developer is a process that requires careful planning and consideration. The first step is to clearly define your project requirements and goals. This includes understanding the technical skills needed for the job, the scope of the project, and the desired outcome. Once you have a clear understanding of what you need, you can create a detailed job description that outlines these requirements. The next step is to post this job description on various platforms such as job boards, freelance websites, and professional networking sites. After receiving applications, you should review the candidates' resumes and shortlist those who meet the required skills and experience. The next stage involves conducting interviews where you assess the candidates' technical knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and cultural fit. You may also give the shortlisted candidates a test project to evaluate their practical skills. Finally, once you have identified the most suitable candidate, you can extend a job offer.
Hiring an AI developer is a significant investment and therefore, it's crucial to take the time to find the right person who can fulfill your project requirements and contribute to your business goals.
You can simplify the process by using our staff augmentation services. We take a proactive approach to address the hiring challenge by implementing comprehensive, multi-tiered recruiting services. Our recruitment gurus focus on identifying and selecting the top 3% of talent who not only possess the required skills but also align perfectly with your goals, values, and product. By doing so, TurnKey ensures that you are matched with highly skilled professionals who are not only competent but also dedicated to achieving collective success. This meticulous selection process guarantees that the talent provided by us is of the highest caliber, setting the stage for a successful partnership between you and exceptional professionals.
What skills to look for when you hire top AI engineers?
When hiring AI engineers, there are several key skills to look for. First and foremost, they should have strong programming skills, particularly in languages commonly used in AI development such as Python and R. In addition to programming skills, a good understanding of machine learning algorithms is crucial. They should be able to design and implement machine learning models, and have experience working with AI-related frameworks and libraries such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.
Familiarity with databases and ability to work with large datasets is also important as a lot of AI work involves data analysis and manipulation. Apart from these technical skills, problem-solving skills are critical. AI development often involves tackling complex problems and coming up with innovative solutions. Analytical thinking is also important as AI engineers need to be able to analyze data and draw meaningful insights from it. In addition, they should have a good understanding of business processes and be able to communicate effectively with non-technical team members.
How to create a hiring funnel for AI engineers?
TurnKey is well known for having a great hiring funnel and the lowest churn rate of any staff augmentation software development agency post-hire.

What are the tools used by AI developers
AI developers use a wide range of tools and technologies, depending on the specific needs of the project. For coding, they often use programming languages like Python or R, which have strong support for AI and machine learning libraries. For designing and training machine learning models, they might use libraries like Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
For handling large datasets, they might use databases like SQL or NoSQL, and data processing frameworks like Apache Hadoop or Spark. For visualizing data and model results, they might use tools like Matplotlib or Tableau. In addition to these, they might also use cloud platforms like AWS or Google Cloud for deploying AI models and applications, and version control systems like Git for managing code. The choice of tools often depends on the requirements of the project, the skills of the developer, and the infrastructure of the organization.
