We've worked with enough operators in Adelaide to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI recruiting project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.
AI candidate screening, built for businesses operating in Adelaide.
Our goal is to give Adelaide businesses 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 Adelaide businesses 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 | Koala 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 |
Where Adelaide operators actually lose hours.
- Adelaide runs on defence, wine and a growing med-tech sector - AI lands well here with teams that are precise by trade and impatient with anything that wastes their time.
- The naval shipbuilding program, a concentrated wine industry around the Barossa and McLaren Vale, and a health and biotech cluster around the CBD all reward AI that's accurate first, flashy never.
We work with teams across Adelaide: CBD · Norwood · Glenelg · Mawson Lakes · Elizabeth · Port Adelaide.

How we build AI recruiting for an Adelaide team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Adelaide 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 Adelaide businesses 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 Adelaide teams
Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. For Adelaide teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.

FAQ
How long does AI recruiting take to ship for Adelaide businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Adelaide businesses 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.
How do you price AI recruiting engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Adelaide businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
What's the realistic outcome for Adelaide businesses?
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.
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.
