AI recruiting in Houston
AI recruiting that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Texas.
What AI recruiting actually does
Job ads written for SEEK, Trade Me, and LinkedIn. CVs screened against role criteria with reasoning. Phone screens done by voice AI – so shortlists land on your desk ready to interview.
The reason we take on work in Houston is that the businesses here tend to be sharper about what they want than the brief lets on. AI recruiting for a Houston team almost always ends up looking different to AI recruiting for a downtown Auckland one.

Why Houston businesses choose this
Houston runs on energy, petrochemicals and one of the country's biggest medical centres – AI here means handling compliance-heavy, high-stakes work without cutting corners.
The pattern across Houston engagements we've shipped.
The energy capital of the US, a huge petrochemical complex along the Ship Channel, and the Texas Medical Center, one of the largest hospital systems in the world. Houston businesses want AI that's rigorous first, fast second.
We work with teams across Houston: Downtown · The Woodlands · Sugar Land · Katy · Energy Corridor · Midtown.
How we build AI recruiting for a Houston team
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Houston business, so value lands before the build is finished. Every engagement starts with a short call and a paid discovery if the brief needs one.

The outcome for Houston teams
What changes for Houston teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days.

AI recruiting in Houston – common questions
What's the realistic timeline for AI recruiting with a Houston?
Most Houston 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".
Is AI recruiting worth it for a smaller Houston?
Often, yes – and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
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.
