About Marc Powell

Hey, I'm Marc. The Founder of techire ai, a specialist recruitment / talent company with a focus on generative AI. The AI market is not new to us, collectively we have over 10 years of experience hiring in AI, placing hundreds of people in new roles. We established ourselves as the number one AI recruiter in the conversational AI space, with my co-founder being voted as the top leader in the conversational AI industry (not recruitment) in 2021 amongst other awards.Generative speech/audio & Natural Language Generation alongside NLP/NLU/Speech processing have always been our specialism - I never like to "blow my own trumpet" but I can honestly say we know the space like no other. More recently, we have also been successful in many searches for researchers in generative AI for video, images and 3D.My prior staffing experience was in tech markets including strategic headhunting (CTO, VP, Director level) and building out various technical teams in ML/Research, Data, Software Engineering, DevOps & QA. With almost 10 years in technology recruitment, perhaps I could now call myself a veteran.My metaphorical door’s always open for those in the AI industry looking for a talent partner who actually understands what you're looking for. Drop me a message here or at marc@techire.ai In my spare time, I run a little farm in the Portuguese countryside and vlog about our experiences on YouTube.Offsetting our carbon footprint, with Ecologi!

  • Eldon Insurance Services Ltd
    Sales Executive
    Eldon Insurance Services Ltd Sep 2015 - Dec 2015
    Outbound Sales Executive - (Footprint Insurance, van insurance sales). The bulk of my days I spent chasing cold leads and converting these in to new business. We used a leads app to make outbound dials selling insurance products to customers, with over 30 insurers listed on the panel across the commercial industry we would speak with company directors, clients and customers to sell our product against other companies competing on the market. It taught me a lot as the sales i'd done previously were a mixture of inbound and having a Lead generation team, which we didn't have here.
