Mindrift is a platform that connects experts and clients working in the AI space on projects designed to advance Generative AI models. Experts get paid to use their expertise to create high-quality text, which is then used to train cutting-edge AI systems. The platform connects professionals from various fields - writers, linguists, educators, finance specialists, and more - with AI projects that need human expertise. Unlike traditional artificial intelligence work, this isn't just about coding. Instead, experts help train AI by creating and improving content to make AI models more accurate, useful, and trustworthy in various fields of knowledge. Launched, powered, and owned by Toloka, the leading data partner for enterprise Machine Learning and AI since 2014, Mindrift benefits from its parent company's unparalleled expertise in data generation, crowd technology, and machine learning.

At BizFirst, we believe that effective recruiting stems from direct relationships and deep expertise, not transactional workflows. Our team operates with zero layers of bureaucracy - each Client Delivery Lead manages just 3-4 clients, giving you direct access to the people actually doing the work. This boutique-by-design approach means no handoffs, no account managers shuffling requests, just immediate access to decision-makers who understand your context. With 60+ years of combined recruiting experience concentrated in a senior, focused team, we invest the time to understand what makes each hire successful within your specific environment. We thrive on building long-term partnerships through transparency and consistency. Our PartnerHire model brings discipline and continuity to recruiting - acting as an extension of your team rather than an external vendor. Whether through ongoing managed recruiting, targeted direct searches, or on-demand contract talent, we adapt to how you actually work. Our 87% retention rate beyond the guarantee period reflects our commitment: we work with fewer clients so we can get each placement right. If someone leaves, we replace them free. This is how we operate - measuring success not just by placements made, but by how smoothly your team executes once hiring begins.

In 2017, three visionaries—Kacper Nowicki, Marek Cygan, and Tristan d'Orgeval—recognized a critical gap in warehouse automation. While e-commerce was exploding, order fulfillment still relied heavily on manual labor, creating bottlenecks that limited scalability and efficiency. Traditional robots couldn't handle the complexity of diverse, ever-changing product SKUs. They founded Nomagic with a bold mission: to transform the logistics industry through intelligent automation that could truly adapt to the real world. From a Warsaw-based startup to a leader in AI-powered robotics, Nomagic has evolved by combining world-class AI expertise with practical warehouse knowledge. The team, which includes veterans from Google and leading academic institutions, built proprietary AI systems like Nomagic Grip AI, React AI, and Place AI to solve the toughest picking and packing challenges. Today, Nomagic robots operate in warehouses for global retailers like ASOS, Komplett, and Zalando, proving that intelligent automation isn't just possible—it's the future of fulfillment. By enabling lights-out warehouse operations, Nomagic is freeing humans from repetitive tasks while delivering unprecedented efficiency and reliability.

In 2007, our founders Jay Chaudhry and K. Kailash had a revolutionary insight: as enterprises moved to the cloud, the traditional castle-and-moat security model was broken. Legacy network security appliances couldn't protect users accessing applications from anywhere, on any device. So they founded Zscaler with a radical vision - the internet would become the new corporate network, and they would build the world's largest cloud security platform to protect it. They created the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, a platform that secures users, devices, applications, and data regardless of location, eliminating the need for traditional VPNs and firewalls. Today, with more than 160 data centers worldwide and trusted by 40% of the Fortune 500, Zscaler processes billions of transactions daily, using AI and machine learning to stop threats that perimeter-based security never could. Built on a cloud-native zero trust architecture from day one, Zscaler enables secure digital transformation by making security invisible to users while impenetrable to attackers. Our platform combines advanced AI with massive scale to provide cybersecurity, data protection, and identity management in a unified solution. We've grown from a bold idea to a public company valued at over $30 billion, serving the world's largest banks, governments, and critical infrastructure providers. Our culture of innovation attracts top talent who share our mission to make the cloud a safer place for everyone, proving that when you eliminate complexity from security, you unlock productivity and enable business agility at unprecedented scale.
