AI recruiting in Napier-Hastings.
Built and supported here - the way a Napier-Hastings business would actually use it.
Hawke's Bay grows more apples, pears and stone fruit than anywhere else in New Zealand. We automate the packing schedules, export paperwork and staff admin behind it.
What Napier-Hastings runs on.
Farming, horticulture, wine and tourism are Hawke's Bay's key industries, and the region is the country's largest producer of apples, pears and stone fruit, much of it exported through Napier Port.
Napier Port is the main export port for the east coast of the central North Island. Harvest season brings some of Napier Port's highest export volumes.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Screens applicants and sorts the new-starter paperwork, from payday filing to KiwiSaver at the new 3.5 per cent minimum.
- KiwiSaver now 3.5 per cent
- Payday filing, every payday
- NZISM for government work
How Kiwi Dynamics works
We find the one workflow costing Napier-Hastings businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
If we build the right slice first, Napier-Hastings teams feel the difference inside the first month. Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. Kiwi Dynamics
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
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.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Good questions, answered
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.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
