Why San Francisco businesses choose this
San Francisco is where the AI industry itself is headquartered – any AI pitched here is judged against the frontier labs a few blocks away, not against a competitor's landing page.
The San Francisco context, plainly.
The highest concentration of AI research labs and startups anywhere in the world, sitting alongside legacy finance and professional services firms adopting AI for the first time. San Francisco is the least forgiving market for a weak AI product, and the best one for a genuinely strong one.
We work with teams across San Francisco: Financial District · SoMa · Mission District · Marina · Nob Hill · Hayes Valley.
How we build AI recruiting for a San Francisco team
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your San Francisco 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 San Francisco – common questions
How long does AI recruiting take to ship for San Francisco businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real San Francisco 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 San Francisco businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
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.
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.
