AI recruiting in Queenstown.
AI candidate screening, built for businesses operating in Queenstown.
Queenstown staffs up for the ski season, then again for summer. We automate rostering, onboarding and guest enquiries so each new season starts without the scramble.
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.
How it works in Queenstown
We find the one workflow costing Queenstown businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
What AI recruiting actually does
Job ads written for SEEK, Trade Me, and LinkedIn. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
What Queenstown runs on.
Tourism is the foundation of the Queenstown Lakes economy, and the district hosts far more international visitors per resident than much larger cities.
Coronet Peak and The Remarkables draw skiers from around the world. Winter ski season runs from June, and summer brings adventure tourism, with both peaks needing temporary staff.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.

Questions Queenstown businesses ask
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI recruiting stack we reach for is Claude, Vapi, Workable, SEEK API, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
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.
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.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
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.
