01The problem
AI Is Moving Faster Than Your Hiring Plan.
Most companies don't need another strategy deck. They need engineers who can actually build.
U.S. Hiring Is Expensive
Salary is only part of the cost. Benefits, payroll taxes, recruiting, retirement, equipment, and employment overhead add up quickly.
AI Requires Collaboration
Your engineers need to work alongside product, engineering, and technical leadership—not operate as a disconnected offshore team.
02How it works
Your Team. Your Projects. Your AI Developers.
Your team controls the roadmap, architecture, tools, priorities, and working practices. Keitton provides the dedicated engineering talent and talent infrastructure.
