Law firms 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.

Lay of the land
The two or three things that decide whether this works for law firms.
- Law firms bill for judgement, but a huge share of the week still goes on intake, document review, and status updates.
- New matter intake and routine client updates are the two places firms lose the most billable time to admin.
How we build AI recruiting for law firms.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a law firm business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI candidate screening.

Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
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 law firm?
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.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days.
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 law firm team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
