How OnHires Helped It-Jim Scale Its AI R&D Project Management Team
It-Jim is an R&D company focused on developing advanced AI solutions, including computer vision, machine learning, and augmented reality technologies. The company works across industries, helping businesses solve complex problems related to image, signal, and video analysis.
Hiring for AI-focused R&D companies requires candidates who understand both technical processes and project delivery frameworks.
It-Jim needed to find project managers capable of working closely with engineering teams while also managing timelines, expectations, and client communication.
At the same time, the market for experienced technical project managers with AI exposure is limited, especially in competitive regions.
OnHires implemented a recruitment strategy tailored to AI and R&D environments.
We started with role calibration sessions to clearly define expectations for each position. For the Technical Project Manager role, focus was placed on understanding AI workflows and working closely with engineering teams. For the Project Manager role, emphasis was on delivery management, communication, and coordination.
Targeted sourcing pipelines were launched across regional and international talent markets, supported by structured hiring workflows and regular syncs with the client team.
Results
The structured hiring approach allowed It-Jim to strengthen its project management capabilities without slowing down its R&D processes.
By focusing on candidates who could bridge the gap between engineering and delivery, the company was able to improve coordination across teams and ensure smoother execution of complex AI projects.
This resulted in more efficient workflows and reduced delivery risks.
