Engagement Models
The right structure for the work.
Not every AI hire should be a full-time hire. Budgets vary depending on what stage your company is in — from pre-seed to Series B, flexible often makes the most sense. Tenzor delivers the same screening bar across every engagement model — you choose the structure that fits.
Contract
Proven AI/ML professionals for project-based or interim needs — model builds, data platform sprints, AI implementation pushes. W-2 employed through People2.0, deployable fast, off your books when the project ends.
Contract-to-Hire
Work with the talent before you commit. Convert to a full-time offer when the fit is proven — the modern way to de-risk senior AI hires.
Fractional
Staff-level AI engineers and AI leaders — two to three days a week. Big-company capability at a startup budget — often the first AI hire that actually makes sense.
Independent Contractors
People2.0's AOR service validates worker classification, administers contracts and payments, and maintains audit-defense compliance files — so 1099 engagements are done right.
