Paddy is a Senior Consultant who works in the AI & Computer Vision team at DeepRec.AI across Germany. Working closely with Startups, VCs, and reputable large enterprises predominantly, he collaborates with key AI Specialists both on the candidate and client side.

Paddy has been working in recruitment for the last 2 years, specializing in placing AI and Computer Vision engineers across Germany. He’s worked with several of the large enterprise businesses and helped many early-stage startups scale with their first few employees. Paddy was keen to keep working in the same industry, and believes the growth potential of the market is huge.

"The main reason I wanted to join Deeprec.ai was due to Anthony Kelly's (Co-Founder) reputation in the same market as me in Germany, having been his direct competitor for the last two years. Once I learned more about the pure AI focus of the business, along with Hayley Killengrey (Co-Founder) excellent background, I knew it was the right move for me.”
