AI recruiting in Invercargill.
AI candidate screening - wired into an Invercargill workflow, not bolted on the side.
From Tiwai Point to the dairy sheds, Southland businesses run lean crews. We automate rosters, reporting and invoicing so fewer hours go to the office.
What Invercargill runs on.
Southland's economy rests on agriculture and processing, and the New Zealand Aluminium Smelter at Tiwai Point, across the harbour from Bluff, is the country's only aluminium smelter.
Tiwai Point has secured its energy supply to at least 2044. Most New Zealand dairy herds calve in spring, July to September.
What AI recruiting actually does
Job ads written for SEEK, Trade Me, and LinkedIn. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
How it works in Invercargill
We find the one workflow costing Invercargill businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.

Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.

Good questions, answered
What's the realistic timeline for AI recruiting with an Invercargill?
Most Invercargill businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days.
What does AI recruiting cost for an Invercargill?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
Do you respond to government tenders?
Most large government contracts are advertised on GETS, the Government Electronic Tender Service, where suppliers register with RealMe.
Can you work to the NZISM?
The NZISM is the government's information security manual and is written for vendors serving agencies as well as the agencies themselves, so government-adjacent work should be built to it.
