What Clients Say About Working with Akal Digital

"We came in with a lot of scepticism about whether AI would genuinely improve our hiring process, rather than just adding another layer of complexity. Akal Digital spent real time understanding how our ATS was being used before suggesting anything. The bias mitigation piece was particularly well handled — our HR lead said it was the first time she felt genuinely confident about an AI tool in a recruitment context."

"Our team had been building ML models for about two years but kept hitting the same wall: getting them into production reliably. The MLOps training was exactly what we needed. It's not a course that teaches you how to build a model — you learn how to make one that actually runs in a real system. Some sessions were more technical than expected, but the trainers adjusted well. We'd have appreciated slightly more time on the monitoring module."

"The document search implementation changed how our operations team works day-to-day. We have about 15,000 internal documents — contracts, policies, procedural manuals — and staff were spending real time just finding the right version of the right document. Now they describe what they're looking for and it surfaces it. The relevance tuning was done carefully — it wasn't a one-size-fits-all deployment."

"What stood out was the level of candour during scoping. We came in with a fairly ambitious brief and Akal Digital pushed back on parts of it — not to avoid work, but because they genuinely thought a different approach would serve us better. That kind of honesty is rare. The actual engagement was very well structured and the handover documentation was thorough."

"As a smaller company, I was initially hesitant about whether an AI consultancy would take our engagement seriously given our scale. Akal Digital's pricing is accessible and the attention we received felt proportional to the work — not perfunctory. The talent acquisition tools they helped configure are now a standard part of how we recruit. We've reduced time-to-shortlist by a meaningful amount."

"Our DevOps team completed the MLOps programme and the quality of the content was consistent throughout — not front-loaded with the interesting material and padded at the end, which we've experienced elsewhere. The lab environments were realistic, the trainers knew what they were talking about, and we left with reference documentation we've actually continued to use."
