Hawke's Bay · Applied AI

Built and supported here – the way a Napier-Hastings business would actually use it.

Most of our Napier-Hastings 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

Questions

FAQ

How long does AI recruiting take to ship for Napier-Hastings businesses?

We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Napier-Hastings businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.

Are there hidden costs we should plan for?

Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.

Anyone else in this space using AI recruiting?

Plenty. Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.

Who owns the code and the model setup?

You do, on delivery. We deploy AI recruiting into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.

The honest version of a sales call.

No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
