The reason we take on work in Waiheke Island is that the businesses here tend to be sharper about what they want than the brief lets on. AI recruiting for a Waiheke Island team almost always ends up looking different to AI recruiting for a downtown Auckland one.

Questions
FAQ
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
Is AI recruiting worth it for a smaller Waiheke Island?
Often, yes – and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
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 tools do you build AI recruiting on?
For AI recruiting we usually reach for Claude, Vapi, Workable, SEEK API, Vercel. We're tool-agnostic at heart – we pick what your Waiheke Island team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
