AI recruiting in Wānaka.
AI candidate screening, built for businesses operating in Wānaka.
Wānaka businesses gear up for ski season from June, then summer visitors. We automate rostering, bookings and guest messages so small teams handle big weeks.
Not your typical AI agency.

How Kiwi Dynamics works
We find the one workflow costing Wānaka businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
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.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Screens applicants and sorts the new-starter paperwork, from payday filing to KiwiSaver at the new 3.5 per cent minimum.
- KiwiSaver now 3.5 per cent
- Payday filing, every payday
- Serious breaches get reported
If we build the right slice first, Wānaka teams feel the difference inside the first month. Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. Kiwi Dynamics

Good questions, answered
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 Wānaka - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
How do you price AI recruiting engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Wānaka businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
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.
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.
How does this fit the Public Service AI Framework?
The framework, led by the Government Chief Digital Officer, asks for safe, transparent and accountable AI. Agencies that sign the Algorithm Charter also commit to transparency in how they use algorithms.
