Otago · Applied AI

For Dunedin operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.

Book a demo

Most of our Dunedin engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI recruiting is then designed against the detail, not the shape.

What AI recruiting actually does

Job ads written for SEEK, Trade Me, and LinkedIn. CVs screened against role criteria with reasoning. Phone screens done by voice AI – so shortlists land on your desk ready to interview.

  • 01 Drafts compliant NZ job ads with realistic salary bands
  • 02 Screens CVs and ranks by fit with written rationale
  • 03 Voice AI runs first-round phone screens 24/7
  • 04 Bias checks built in – flagged in the audit log

Built on: Claude Vapi Workable SEEK API Vercel

Why Dunedin businesses are a fit for this.

  • Dunedin pairs a strong university research culture with practical southern businesses. AI here means proven tools, not hype.
  • Education, health, tech, and a tourism shoulder season that hits hard. AI helps Dunedin teams smooth the peaks and protect the people.

We work with teams across Dunedin: CBD · North Dunedin · South Dunedin · Mosgiel · Port Chalmers · Green Island.

How we build AI recruiting for a Dunedin team.

We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Dunedin business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI candidate screening.

Questions

FAQ

When does AI recruiting actually pay back?

Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Dunedin – so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.

Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?

Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.

Do you have proof this works for Dunedin businesses?

Direct case study: Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.

Will this run on our own infrastructure?

Yes, where it makes sense. AI recruiting can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, Vapi, Workable, SEEK API, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.

Worth a conversation?

Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
