Most of our Townsville engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI recruiting is then designed against the detail, not the shape.
Built and supported here - the way a Townsville business would actually use it.
Our goal is to give Townsville 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 Townsville 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 |
What's different about doing this work in Townsville.
- Townsville runs on defence, mining services and a role as North Queensland's regional hub - AI here means serving a wide catchment without a Sydney-sized team.
- A major army garrison, mineral processing, and a role as the service centre for a huge swathe of North Queensland. Townsville businesses want AI that covers a big regional footprint with a small local team.
We work with teams across Townsville: Townsville CBD · North Ward · Aitkenvale · Kirwan · Douglas · Idalia.

How we build AI recruiting for a Townsville team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Townsville 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 Townsville 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 Townsville teams

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