AI recruiting in Portland
AI candidate screening – wired into a Portland workflow, not bolted on the side.
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.
Portland businesses don't need another generic AI pitch. AI recruiting only earns its keep when it's built around the workflow you actually run on a wet Tuesday, and that's how we scope every engagement we take on in Oregon.

Why Portland businesses choose this
Portland runs on a mix of tech, manufacturing and a famously independent small business scene – AI here has to respect a market that's skeptical of hype by default.
What Portland teams tell us when they get on a call.
A semiconductor and tech manufacturing base (the 'Silicon Forest'), and a dense scene of independent retailers, restaurants and makers. Portland businesses want AI that's genuinely useful, not just the current trend.
We work with teams across Portland: Downtown Portland · Pearl District · Hawthorne · Beaverton · Hillsboro · Lloyd District.
How we build AI recruiting for a Portland team
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Portland 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.

AI recruiting in Portland – common questions
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Portland businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
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.
What tools do you build AI recruiting on?
For AI recruiting we usually reach for Claude, Vapi, Workable, SEEK API, Vercel. We're tool-agnostic at heart – we pick what your Portland team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
