Otago · Applied AI

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

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.

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

Otago

The Oamaru context, plainly.

  • North Otago blends historic tourism with strong primary industry – AI here is about doing more with the team you can keep.
  • Dairy, horticulture, heritage tourism, and a steady local trades sector. AI tools land well when they're practical and quiet.

We work with teams across Oamaru: Oamaru CBD · Weston · Waitaki · Kurow · Hampden.

How we build AI recruiting for a Oamaru team.

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

The outcome for Oamaru teams

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.

Not your typical AI agency.

Ships the one workflow that pays for itself

Hours given back, never the size of the invoice

How much is not automating costing you?

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 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.
