Risk-Proofing a $200K Hire
A healthcare provider was about to invest in a senior AI scientist role. Ayora’s vetting process identified gaps between the candidate’s CV and real technical skills.
The Challenge
An Australian health technology firm was preparing to hire a Head of AI Engineering with a six-figure package. This was a critical leadership role, responsible for overseeing the company’s new predictive analytics platform. The board needed absolute confidence in their selection process, knowing that a poor decision could cost the business significantly in both time and capital.
Our Solution
AYORA provided an executive AI search service designed for high-value placements. We conducted a deep technical and strategic alignment review to ensure the role’s scope, expectations, and cultural dynamics were clearly defined before sourcing began.
Each shortlisted candidate underwent a multi-phase evaluation, including:
Technical architecture review sessions with independent AI consultants.
Leadership and communication assessments to gauge stakeholder management.
Scenario-based testing focused on AI scalability and ethical compliance.
The Result
The client selected a candidate who not only met the technical criteria but demonstrated exceptional leadership and strategic vision. Within six months, the new Head of AI Engineering led the successful rollout of the company’s first predictive care platform, delivering a 25% improvement in diagnostic accuracy.
The client has since retained AYORA for senior AI recruitment and advisory services, citing trust, transparency, and measurable return on investment.
