Three equal workforce choicesHumanAIHuman + AI

Choose your workforce

The future of staffing is not human or AI.
It is choosing the right workforce for the work.

Three equal choices — a person, an AI agent, or a carefully designed combination. We help you decide which fits the work.

AI Team Member

Add capacity without adding repetitive work to somebody's day.

Configure an AI agent to support approved workflows such as enquiries, scheduling, follow-up, administration, research and document preparation — with human approval and escalation points.

Explore AI Team Members

Human Team Member

Find the person the role genuinely needs.

Design the role, source suitable professionals and support their onboarding and long-term success.

Hire a Human Team Member

Human + AI Team

Combine human judgement with AI capacity.

Hire an AI-augmented professional or build a blended team where people lead judgement, relationships and accountability while agents support repeatable work.

Pricing aligned to people staying, not just starting

Three equal instalments of your agreed annual base salary — two-thirds of the fee is earned only when the hire reaches six and twelve months.

2.5%

On commencement

Of the agreed annual base salary, payable when your chosen person commences.

2.5%

At six months

Payable only if the employee is still employed at six months.

2.5%

At twelve months

Payable only if the employee is still employed at twelve months.

7.5% total over twelve months — with no minimum fee.

Calculated on the employee's agreed annual base salary for their contracted hours, excluding KiwiSaver, bonuses, commissions and allowances unless otherwise quoted — so smaller and part-time roles cost less.

A Role Launch fee covers role design and campaign preparation up front and is credited against the commencement instalment. The New Zealand amount is confirmed on approval.

Why pay a traditional recruitment fee for a process that ends when somebody starts?

Traditional recruitment is normally built around filling a vacancy. 247 Staff helps design the role, determine whether the work needs a human, an AI agent or both, support onboarding — and earns two-thirds of the recruitment fee only when the employment relationship reaches six and twelve months.

Traditional recruitment

  • Built around filling a vacancy
  • Shortlist and placement fee
  • Engagement ends when somebody starts

The 247 Staff way

  • Role design and workforce choice
  • Evidence-led matching — human, AI or both
  • Onboarding, HR platform and retention support
  • Two-thirds of the fee earned only at six and twelve months
