Montréal
Paraito is a Quebec AI startup applied to real estate law. Its platform automates the collection, analysis and structuring of data from the Quebec Land Registry to speed up notaries' title examinations: -70% on document collection time, 3x more files handled at constant headcount.
Context
The Quebec tech market is under strong strain on AI profiles, especially Senior AI Engineers and Lead Platform engineers capable of scaling an AI product platform. To support their growth and industrialise the platform, Paraito needed to hire fast and on very specific profiles (legal NLP, document processing, specialised models on the Quebec Land Registry).
The Abbeal engagement
Abbeal delivered 3 strategic permanent hires in 2026:
- 2 AI Engineers (AI product core, document processing, specialised models on the Quebec Land Registry)
- 1 Lead Platform (architecture, scalability, technical foundations)
- 1 international mobility: one of the AI Engineers was sourced in France and supported on relocation to Montreal via the Mobbeal programme
Key figures
- 2 weeks: average lead time from Paraito brief to candidate closing
- 3 to 5 candidates per role: tight shortlists, technically qualified by our engineers before client presentation
- 3 permanent hires: 2 AI Engineers + 1 Lead Platform
- 1 international mobility: France → Montreal via Mobbeal
Why Abbeal
On a strained Quebec AI market, we combine two levers: active sourcing by engineers (not HR) on local tech pools + access to the France/Europe pool via Mobbeal. That combination lets us close serious shortlists in 2 weeks instead of 2 months.
