10 AI hires in one day. $3M in new revenue within months.
One of the busiest airports in the United States needed to scale operations for the LA 2028 Olympics while building an in-house AI innovation team. UPTEMPO curated a cohort of master's-level data scientists and ran a hackathon-style workshop where candidates tackled real operational challenges, live.
The executive team hired 10 UPTEMPO members on the spot. The team has since identified opportunities to increase revenue by $3M and continues to drive AI and analytics initiatives across airport operations.
"I've hired across four organizations. I've never seen a candidate arrive this prepared. UPTEMPO had three qualified, AI-ready candidates in front of us within a week, and the one we chose was contributing to a live pipeline in her second week. That's not recruiting. That's deployment."
