Most AI deployments fail not because the technology doesn't work — but because nobody specified what "working" looks like. We fix that.
Every staffing business is different. The right AI strategy starts with understanding your workflows, your margins, and your competitive position.
That's what the Crawl phase is for — and it pays for itself.
