Hiring guide

What to look for in a AI Agents freelancer

A strong AI agent developer should combine LLM fluency with real software engineering. Look for:

  • Hands-on framework experience: LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom orchestration.
  • Solid tool and function calling, including error handling when a tool fails.
  • A grounding strategy: retrieval, memory, and ways to reduce hallucinations.
  • Testing discipline: evals and traces, not just a demo that worked once.
  • Cost and latency awareness, so the agent stays affordable at scale.

Ask the candidate to describe how an agent should behave when a tool call fails or a request is out of scope.
