Role Review
The AI Role Review · Two weeks · Fixed fee

Before you fill that seat, see what a machine can do.

A vacancy is the one chance to redesign a role without disrupting anyone. Two weeks. One fixed fee. You'll know what's automatable, what isn't, and what to hire for instead.

The maths

The review costs less than the recruiter. Far less than the hire.

Recruiter fee on a $90k role
$15,000+
A typical 15–20% placement fee — paid before the new hire has done a day's work.
Fully-loaded annual cost of the hire
$110,000+
Salary, super, leave, tools and management time — every year, for as long as the role exists.
The role review
From $6,000
Fixed at the scoping call, and 100% credited toward any automation build. You'll know what the role really is before you commit to a decade of paying for it.

Worst case, you hire anyway — with a sharper job spec and a clear map of the role. Keep recruiting in parallel; the review doesn't delay anything.

Five things on the table at day fourteen.

1

Task inventory & time map

The role broken into its real tasks, with estimated hours per week on each — built from the job spec, manager interviews and any handover material. Most roles surprise their own managers here.

2

Automation assessment, task by task

Every task rated: automatable now, automatable with human review, AI-assisted, or genuinely human. With the specific tool or approach named for each — not "use AI".

3

The redesigned role spec

The job ad rewritten around what remains. Often that's a smaller fraction of a full-time role, a more senior skill set, or a merge into a role you already have.

4

The cost comparison

Hiring as planned versus the redesigned role plus automation, side by side, with the payback period — so the decision is a numbers decision, not a hunch.

5

The implementation roadmap

Quick wins separated from bigger builds, what we'd build versus what your own team can do, with indicative pricing for both paths.

How it works

Fourteen days. Three steps. One decision.

Days 1–3

Understand the role

We take the job spec and interview the manager and the people who work alongside the role. What the ad says and what the job is are rarely the same thing.

Days 4–10

Map, test and price

We map the automation options against the real tasks — and test the important ones against your actual systems and documents, so the assessment is evidence, not opinion.

Days 11–14

Decide with the numbers

You get the report and a working session to decide: redesign the role, build the automation, or hire exactly as planned — but now you'll know.

From $6,000. Fixed at the scoping call.
100% credited toward any automation build — so if the review finds work worth automating, the review was free.

Then, if the numbers say so

The build. Scoped at the review.

If the review finds work worth automating, you get a fixed price for the build with the report — scoped from the review's own numbers, not a sales estimate. The review fee comes off that bill in full. If the numbers say hire, we tell you to hire, and the review still leaves you a sharper job spec.

Fair questions

The ones hiring managers ask first.

Will this delay our hiring?

+

No. Keep recruiting in parallel — the review runs in two weeks, which is usually less time than it takes to shortlist. Worst case, you hire on schedule with a sharper job spec. Best case, you stop a hire you didn't need.

What if the review finds nothing worth automating?

+

Then you'll know, for a fixed fee — and you keep the task map and the rewritten role spec either way, which makes the hire better regardless. We'd rather tell you "hire as planned" than sell you an automation that won't pay back. That honesty is the product.

What kinds of roles work best?

+

Roles heavy in repeatable digital work: accounts payable and receivable, admin, coordination, reporting, customer service, data entry. Judgment-heavy and relationship-heavy roles automate less — and the review tells you exactly which parts are which, so you hire for the human parts.

Who does the work if we decide to automate?

+

Either path works. We build it — typical role automations run from about $20,000, priced in the roadmap before you commit — or we hand your team the roadmap and they build it internally. The review prices both, and the review fee is credited if we build.

Is our data safe?

+

Anything we build works inside your existing systems under its own limited login. It touches only what you allow. A person reviews anything it's unsure about. Every action is logged, so you can see exactly what happened. During the review itself we handle your documents under NDA and delete them when we're done.

You're about to spend $110,000 a year. Spend two weeks first.

A 30-minute call is enough to scope the role and fix the fee. If it's not a fit, we'll tell you on the call.
