We've worked with enough operators in Palmerston 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.
For Palmerston operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.

Why Palmerston businesses are a fit for this.
- Palmerston is Darwin's fast-growing satellite city, with defence, construction and home services driving most of the local work.
- Residential growth, defence households, trades and retail serving one of the youngest populations in the country. Volume and after-hours demand are the recurring pinch points.

FAQ
How long does AI recruiting take to ship for Palmerston businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Palmerston 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 Palmerston businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
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.
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.
