Electrical contractors are some of the most efficient operators in New Zealand - which means the easy wins from AI recruiting are usually already taken. The brief we accept is the one focused on the workflow you've tried to fix twice and given up on.
Electrical contractors-grade AI recruiting, shipped by people who've done it before.
Our goal is to give electrical contractors a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)

What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of AI recruiting runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for electrical contractors first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How AI recruiting compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
The friction electrical contractors hit that other industries don't.
- Electricians juggle callouts, compliance certificates, and quoting, usually from the front seat of a van.
- Certificates of compliance and quote turnaround are where electrical businesses either look professional or lose the job.
How we build AI recruiting for electrical contractors.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for an electrical contractor business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI candidate screening.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing electrical contractors the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.
The outcome for electrical contractors
What changes for electrical contractors after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days.

FAQ
What's the realistic timeline for AI recruiting with an electrical contractor?
Most electrical contractors have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
Is AI recruiting worth it for a smaller electrical contractor?
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.
Has this actually shipped for a real electrical contractor?
Yes. Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI recruiting is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude, Vapi, Workable, SEEK API, Vercel are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
