Turing

Turing was founded in 2018 by Jonathan Siddharth and Vijay Krishnan, initially building an AI-driven platform that could vet and match software engineers from around the world with U.S. and other Western technology companies seeking remote engineering talent, using automated technical assessments and AI-driven matching to more efficiently identify and vet strong engineering candidates globally than traditional recruiting processes could achieve at comparable speed and scale, addressing the significant technical talent demand many technology companies faced that domestic talent pools alone could not fully satisfy. Beyond its original remote engineering talent marketplace, Turing has increasingly built out a significant business providing services to major AI labs and technology companies developing large language models, leveraging its existing network of vetted global software engineers and other technical professionals to provide various AI training-related services, including generating and reviewing training data, conducting reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) tasks that help improve AI models' response quality, and other technical work supporting AI model development and evaluation, an increasingly significant and lucrative business line as major AI labs have needed substantial human technical expertise to support various aspects of training and evaluating increasingly sophisticated AI models. This pivot toward AI training services reflects a broader trend among several talent marketplace and outsourcing companies recognizing that their existing vetted talent networks, originally built for more traditional software engineering placement, could be redirected toward the substantial and growing demand for human expertise supporting AI model training and evaluation, a category of work that has grown enormously alongside the broader generative AI boom and that companies with existing access to large, vetted pools of technical talent have been well positioned to serve. Turing's customers span both technology companies seeking remote engineering talent through its original marketplace model and major AI labs seeking AI training and evaluation services. The company has raised substantial venture funding from investors including Foundation Capital, Sozo Ventures, and WestBridge Capital, reaching unicorn status.
