AI recruiting in Palmerston North.
For Palmerston North operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
Palmerston North moves freight for much of the country and hosts the Linton and Ohakea defence bases. We automate dispatch, bookings and reporting for the firms serving them.
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

What Palmerston North runs on.
The Manawatū economy spans distribution and logistics, construction, manufacturing, agritech and research science, and Palmerston North is home to the Linton and Ohakea defence bases.
Te Utanganui, the central New Zealand distribution hub, connects road, rail, air and sea networks from Palmerston North. Wellington Anniversary Day falls on on or near 22 January.
We'd call the engagement a success when Palmerston North teams are using the system without thinking about us. Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. Kiwi Dynamics
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
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.

Good questions, answered
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.
How long does AI recruiting take to ship for Palmerston North businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Palmerston North 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.
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.
What does the Privacy Commissioner expect before we use AI?
Senior leadership sign-off, a check that the tool is necessary and proportionate, and a privacy impact assessment before it goes live.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
