Acceler8 by Name & Nature
Don't Just Take Our Word For It...
Mat and the Acceler8 team is the best in the business! I don't use this analogy loosely, but Mat is the "John Wick" of recruiting. "I gave him an impossible task. A job no one could have pulled off....the candidates he discovered laid the foundation of what we are now." 😅 In all seriousness, the team at Acceler8, led by Mat, is the single most effective agency or recruiting platform/source I have worked with in my career. They routinely produce candidates who perform fantastically well on interviews and on a personal note, Mat's weekly catch-up calls are a pleasure. If you are working in the AI space, particularly anything compute or research intensive (Kernel engineers, RE/RS, Distributed systems engineers, HPC, etc), you need to be working with Mat, Rose and the team. I can not recommend him/them more highly.
After evaluating a handful of external firms for a very specialized AI/ML search, I chose Acceler8 because of how prepared Rose was during a discovery call. She brought in a great group of candidates and did a phenomenal job handling communication, and helped us stay ahead of any challenges. Can't recommend her enough!
Mat and the Acceler8 team have been amazing to work with, from sourcing top talent to providing market research to assisting on closing candidates to ease of working with the team! If you are looking for additional recruiting resources, look no further!
Luke supports our offices in the UK and US and received very positive feedback from our hiring managers. I appreciate his long-term partnership with MediaTek and his always putting our needs as his priority. His quality of work and professionalism is at the top level in the industry.
Mat has been very resourceful helping us find some great candidates in a tough market. He worked with me closely to identify and short list candidates based on ongoing feedback. Overall, a great experience working with Mat!
Luke is the best recruiter we have worked with—by far. He is kind, professional, and smart. We hire for super specific and often highly technical role, yet Luke always asks the right questions and eventually finds stellar candidates. We continue to work with Luke as we scale our business and would highly recommend him for hiring in the AI/ML/DL fields.
I cannot recommend Mat highly enough. He is one of these rare recruiters who ""gets it"": thoughtful, extremely responsive and you know he will deliver. And a pleasure to work with!
Mat is the best recruiter we have worked with at PolyAI. He has helped hire five of our key machine learning people, in roles ranging from product management to ML research. The quality of the candidates he sourced was superb - the right academic caliber + great cultural fit. I can't wait to work with him again and I'd recommend him to anyone looking to build a world-class machine learning team.
