Every real estate agency business we've worked with has a different definition of "broken". AI recruiting only earns its keep when it solves the specific definition you'd give it on a bad day - which is why our first call is mostly listening.
Built for the real estate agency who's already tried the off-the-shelf option and bounced off it.
Our goal is to give real estate agencies 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 real estate agencies 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 real estate agencies hit that other industries don't.
- Agents live on their phones between open homes, listing enquiries, and vendor updates that can't wait until Monday.
- Lead response speed decides who gets the listing, and most agencies lose leads simply because nobody replied fast enough.
How we build AI recruiting for real estate agencies.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a real estate agency 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 real estate agencies 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 real estate agencies
We'd call the engagement a success when real estate agencies are using the system without thinking about us. Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days.
Not your typical AI agency.

FAQ
How fast could we have AI recruiting in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most real estate agencies. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for real estate agencies that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
What's the realistic outcome for real estate agencies?
Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
What if our real estate agency doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For AI recruiting specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, Vapi, Workable, SEEK API, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
