Paul Noble, CEO of Verusen, says the partnership between the companies “underscores the tremendous value this high potential but underutilized talent population provides and dispels the common misconception that AI takes jobs away.” Daivergent head Byran Dai added, “The multi-faceted benefits of matching candidates on the spectrum with highly intricate work is rewarding and boosts business and productivity.” globenewswire.com
