Build the Forward Deployed Engineering capability required to scale AI
HireAFDE helps enterprise organisations source, verify and maintain access to Forward Deployed Engineers for permanent teams, transformation programmes and project-based deployments.
Who it's for
Designed for organisations that need more than one placement
Enterprise FDE Bench is positioned as an ongoing specialist talent capability — not access to a public database.
What enterprise clients receive
Not every check is included by default. HireAFDE completes some directly; others may be performed by specialist third parties and are agreed as part of the engagement.
