The reason we take on work in Mackay is that the businesses here tend to be sharper about what they want than the brief lets on. AI recruiting for a Mackay team almost always ends up looking different to AI recruiting for a downtown Auckland one.
AI candidate screening - wired into a Mackay workflow, not bolted on the side.

What Mackay teams tell us when they get on a call.
- Mackay services the Bowen Basin coal mines and a large sugar industry, so its engineering firms live and die on procurement cycles.
- Mining services, heavy engineering, sugar milling and the port. Mining clients bring long tender documents and strict compliance, which is where most of the local admin burden actually sits.

How we build AI recruiting for a Mackay team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Mackay business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI candidate screening.

FAQ
What's the realistic timeline for AI recruiting with a Mackay?
Most Mackay businesses 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".
What does AI recruiting cost for a Mackay?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
Anyone else in this space using AI recruiting?
Plenty. Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope 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.
