AI recruiting in Oamaru.
For Oamaru operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
What this is
AI candidate screening
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.
Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days.
How it helps your Oamaru team
What you actually get.
- Drafts compliant NZ job ads with realistic salary bands
- Screens CVs and ranks by fit with written rationale
- Voice AI runs first-round phone screens 24/7
- Bias checks built in – flagged in the audit log
The version of AI recruiting that works for a Oamaru business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.
Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. For Oamaru teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.
The Oamaru context, plainly.
Dairy, horticulture, heritage tourism, and a steady local trades sector. AI tools land well when they're practical and quiet.

Common questions
Before you book the call.
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 Oamaru – 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.
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.
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.
