Bettr AI Systems™ / Recruitment and staffing

Your recruiters should recruit. Not reconcile systems.

When candidate records, vacancy updates and interview logistics consume the desk, another tool is not the answer. Build controlled workflows around the ATS, CRM and people you already rely on.

The operational work

Give each handoff an owner.

Start with a specific workflow, its permissions and a measurable baseline. Automate only what can be controlled and reviewed.

01

Vacancy signals

Bring approved vacancy sources into a review queue. Check relevance, provenance and permissions before a recruiter acts.

02

Candidate data preparation

Structure and de-duplicate authorised records, flag missing information and retain the source. No scraping private profiles or repurposing data without permission.

03

Consent-aware outreach

Prepare messages and suppression checks around your lawful contact rules. Recruiters approve sensitive messaging; opt-outs remain respected.

04

Interview coordination

Prepare scheduling tasks and interview packs, with human checks for exceptions and candidate preferences.

05

Desk reporting

Agree a baseline for manual handling, data completeness and coordination time. Report observed changes, not promised placement growth.

People make hiring decisions. These systems do not autonomously rank out, reject or appoint candidates, or make other consequential employment decisions.

Delivery model

Prove a bounded workflow before production.

Timelines and acceptance criteria are agreed after discovery. Baselines make improvement testable; they are not ROI guarantees.

  1. 01

    Baseline

    Map the current process, manual effort, error types, data permissions and accountable owner.

  2. 02

    Architecture

    Choose appropriate tools, define integration boundaries, approval gates and fallback procedures.

  3. 03

    Pilot and test

    Test a limited workflow with authorised data. Review accuracy, exceptions, consent and failure recovery.

  4. 04

    Production

    Release only against agreed acceptance criteria, with owner sign-off, runbooks and a rollback path.

  5. 05

    Managed support

    Monitor the agreed scope, review exceptions and changes, and manage provider dependencies within defined support limits.

Controls by design

Useful automation.
Accountable people.

Vendor-agnostic architecture with least-privilege access, client-specific credentials and appropriate separation of client environments. Isolation, retention and data handling must be assessed and agreed for each provider and implementation—not assumed from a platform's marketing.

  • Human oversight

    Named owners approve sensitive actions, exceptions and consequential decisions.

  • Secure access

    Agree authorised sources, scoped integrations, credential storage, access removal and retention before connection.

  • Testable operations

    Monitoring, audit records, fallbacks and change approval belong in the delivery scope.

  • Provider independence

    No claim of provider endorsement, reseller rights or unverified multi-client platform licensing.

Indicative investment / USD

Scope first. A clear commercial boundary.

Starting prices for discussion, not a fixed quote or a validated market promise. Delivery, management, vendor/API fees and usage are agreed in a written scope before work starts.

01

AI Opportunity Audit

USD $3,000

one-time paid audit

Workflow baseline, prioritised opportunities, architecture and a scoped recommendation. A paid audit, not a free consultation.

02

Focused Automation

From USD $15,000

implementation + from USD $2,500/month management

A bounded workflow, tested integrations, human approval points and agreed ongoing management.

03

Managed AI Department

From USD $30,000

implementation + from USD $5,000/month management

A coordinated set of workflows with accountable owners, monitoring and managed improvements. Not autonomous employees.

04

Enterprise Transformation

From USD $75,000

implementation + from USD $10,000/month management

Custom-scoped enterprise work, subject to discovery, access requirements and delivery capacity; not an initial signature offer.

No unlimited support. No promised audit credit. Vendor subscriptions, API fees and usage are separately scoped. The advisory offer of USD $5,000/month is independent and is not included.

Before you enquire

Clear expectations, from the start.

Is the assessment a paid audit?

The short website assessment saves an enquiry for manual scope review. Submitting does not buy an audit or commit you to a fee. An AI Opportunity Audit is a separate paid service at USD $3,000 one-time, agreed in writing before work starts.

Can this work with our existing CRM or ATS?

That depends on authorised access, API capabilities, permissions and provider terms. Discovery checks those constraints before a scope is agreed. No integration is promised before it has been evaluated.

Who manages the system after launch?

The agreed managed scope sets ownership, monitoring, support boundaries and change handling. Your team remains responsible for business decisions and human approvals. Vendor/API fees and usage are separately scoped; support is not unlimited.

Do you guarantee savings or placements?

No. We agree process goals and compare observed performance to an authorised baseline. No guaranteed savings, revenue, placements or fabricated client results.

Is this founder advisory?

No. AI Systems implementation and management are separately scoped and priced. The independent USD $5,000/month advisory offer and its monthly session cadence are unchanged.
