When a optometry practice asks us about AI recruiting, the first question we put back is the same one every time: which part of your week, if it disappeared, would change how you feel on a Friday? We start the build from that answer.

Field notes
What years of building for optometry practices taught us.
- Optometrists balance eye tests, recalls, and frame sales, with recall reminders often the first thing to slip.
- Recall reminders and insurance or funding queries are the recurring admin load behind every optometry front desk.
How we build AI recruiting for optometry practices.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a optometry practice business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI candidate screening.

Questions
FAQ
How long does AI recruiting take to ship for optometry practices?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real optometry practices 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.
Do you have proof this works for optometry practices?
Direct case study: Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a 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.
