Be discovered before jobs are posted
Brands racing to win AI search — and the agencies serving them — can find you directly, even if you never apply to a single posting.
A Sloane Staffing ecosystem
Join Lakehouse — the private talent ecosystem for AI Search.
The first-of-its-kind, free, anonymous ecosystem for answer-engine and generative-engine optimization (AEO/GEO) pros. Create a profile once and get found by the brands racing to win AI search right now — before the job is ever posted.
What's in it for you
Get access to AI Search roles that never hit the job boards.
We're the only dedicated AI SEO recruiting agency in the country. We've worked on 10+ AI SEO searches in the last few months — for Verizon, American Express, Basic Capital, MongoDB, Further AI and many others. We have relationships with VCs and their portfolio companies, AI Search agencies, and AEs/CSMs at Profound, so we know which companies are on the market to hire across the US and LATAM.
The goal with Lakehouse is to build a talent marketplace so companies come to us when they're ready to hire an AI Search expert. You'll gain access to opportunities that aren't publicly available online. Looking forward to working with you!
Why join
A better way to be found.
Know where demand is moving
Every month, see:
- Which AI-search platforms brands are betting on
- The AEO / GEO skills commanding premium rates
- Which agencies and in-house teams are expanding
- How the answer-engine landscape is shifting
Invest in the right skills
See which techniques and tools companies are actively investing in — from schema and entity SEO to LLM evaluation — before everyone else catches up.
Represented by someone who gets it
When a company wants to connect, a specialist who actually understands AI search evaluates the fit — not a keyword parser skimming résumés for buzzwords — so you only ever hear about the opportunities that are actually worth your time.
A curated ecosystem, not a job board
Lakehouse isn't an open marketplace. It's a focused, quality-controlled pool of AI-search specialists that serious hiring teams come back to.
Built for specialists
Lakehouse exists for AEO / GEO experts who want to build expertise — not apply to hundreds of jobs. Companies come here because they know the talent is curated.
