AI & tech recruiting · HR consulting · Europe
I am Kate Suvorova, and Daylabs is my practice. For more than fifteen years I have hired engineers, researchers and leaders for tech companies — most recently for AI teams — and built the HR processes that keep them there after the offer is signed.
What I do
Whether you need one hard-to-fill role, a whole team by next quarter, or an HR function that finally runs without you — we start with a conversation, not a contract.
Engineering, hardware, research and business-critical roles — from a sharp role profile through active sourcing, assessment and offer negotiation. Niche and executive searches included, closed in weeks rather than quarters.
When a team has to exist by a date. Workforce planning, role scoping, a hiring pipeline designed for your volume, and first-time managers coached through interviewing so the quality bar does not drop as the pace rises.
The infrastructure a growing company needs: onboarding and probation that work, performance reviews and 1:1s people take seriously, HR policies and documentation, contracts and payroll coordination, and a calm offboarding.
My two most recent team builds were for AI companies — research-led products where the hard part is finding people who can move between science, software and hardware. I hired the researchers behind the models, the engineers who ship them, and the specialists who install and integrate the systems where they actually run.
Which means these searches do not start from a blank sheet. I know these people personally — I can call them directly, and they pick up.
Track record
The companies where I have done this — and the results they kept me for.
Founder-led startups, product companies and enterprise IT — mostly remote, across CIS and EU markets.

About
I have spent my career on both sides of the hiring table: as an in-house recruiter building teams from nothing, and as the HR partner founders call when the company has outgrown its improvised processes.
Daylabs is small on purpose. You work with me directly — no handoffs, no account managers, no candidates pushed through a funnel to hit a quota. I work closely with founders, engineering leads and C-level, I tell you early when a role is not realistic as written, and I treat every candidate as someone who will talk about your company afterwards. Because they will.
How it works
A free 30-minute call. You describe the situation, I ask the awkward questions and tell you honestly whether I am the right fit.
You get a short written proposal: scope, timeline, price. Per hire, monthly or project-based — whichever suits the work.
We start. Weekly updates, metrics you can check, and processes your team can keep running after the project ends.
Get in touch
An open role, a hiring plan, or an HR process that is quietly costing you people — write a few lines about where you are and I will come back within one working day.
