There is a version of AI recruiting that dog groomers buy off a shelf and quietly stop using inside a month. Then there's the version that's wired into your real workflow, owned by a person on your team, and still in use a year later. We only build the second one.

The honest read
Where most dog groomers engagements actually deliver value.
- Groomers run tight appointment slots where a single no-show leaves an expensive gap in the day.
- Booking confirmations and reminder texts are the simplest lever for cutting no-shows in a grooming business.
How we build AI recruiting for dog groomers.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a dog groomer business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI candidate screening.

Questions
FAQ
How long does AI recruiting take to ship for dog groomers?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real dog groomers 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.
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.
Has this actually shipped for a real dog groomer?
Yes. Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
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.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
