How Build to Hire Works

Citric Sheep works different from other development teams. We won't leave you with a costly support bill at the end. Our mission is to support your business by transferring our knowledge to your team.

1. Develop

We build your AI solution with our expert team, delivering results from day one while documenting every step of the process.

2. Train

Simultaneously, we recruit and train your dedicated team, transferring knowledge and best practices throughout the development process.

3. Transfer

Your team gradually takes ownership with our ongoing support, ensuring a smooth transition and continued innovation.
