Seattle sits in a regional context that genuinely changes the build. Connectivity assumptions, the rhythm of the working week, the proximity of your team to your customers - none of those are details our default AI recruiting template would catch.
AI candidate screening - wired into a Seattle workflow, not bolted on the side.
Our goal is to give Seattle 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 Seattle 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 | Kiwi 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 we keep seeing in Seattle.
- Seattle runs on cloud computing, aerospace and coffee, home to the companies whose infrastructure half the internet's AI runs on - AI here means holding up to serious technical scrutiny.
- Two of the world's largest cloud providers are headquartered here alongside a major aerospace manufacturing base. Seattle businesses, even small ones, tend to have someone on staff who can and will check your work.
We work with teams across Seattle: Downtown Seattle · Capitol Hill · Bellevue · Fremont · Ballard · Redmond.

How we build AI recruiting for a Seattle team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Seattle 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 Seattle 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 Seattle teams
If we build the right slice first, Seattle teams feel the difference inside the first month. Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days.
Not your typical AI agency.

FAQ
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 Seattle 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.
What's the realistic outcome for Seattle businesses?
Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
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 Seattle team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
