AI recruiting is overhyped at the macro level and underused at the workflow level. For a NZ auto repair shop, that gap is where the actual ROI lives – and where most of our work happens.

Why auto repair shops are different
Auto repair shops run their businesses unlike anyone else.
- Mechanics quote from underneath a car and answer the phone from underneath a car, and one of those always loses.
- Booking, quoting, and parts follow-up are the admin layer that decides how many cars a workshop can turn over in a week.
How we build AI recruiting for auto repair shops.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a auto repair shop business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI candidate screening.

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 auto repair shop – 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.
Do you have proof this works for auto repair shops?
Direct case study: Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a 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.
