Contact us today for AI team training, workshops and sprints. Get the most out of compliant AI adoption in your business.
For UK recruitment agencies
Clear AI rules your team actually follows and working consultant workflows built into the job they do every day. Implemented in 30 days.
No sign-up wall. Twenty questions, four categories and a score you can put in front of your board.
AI Trust & Productivity Sprint
01 / The problem
Your consultants are using AI right now. They draft candidate emails with it, tidy CVs, rewrite job adverts and summarise interview notes.
Some of it is good work done faster. Some of it is candidate data pasted into free tools you have never approved.
In recruitment, the data going in is CVs, salaries, health disclosures, right-to-work documents and confidential client briefs. The exposure is worse than in most sectors, and the ICO has already flagged AI in recruitment as a data protection concern.
You cannot ban it. You cannot ignore it. And nobody here owns it.
02 / What we believe
Most agencies respond with an AI training day. The team leaves inspired. Two weeks later nothing has changed, except more people are experimenting with more tools.
Generic AI training raises usage without raising standards. That makes agencies less safe, not safer.
What changes behaviour is implementation. Clear rules your team follows and working workflows built into the tasks they do every day. That is what the Sprint delivers.
Awareness was never the constraint. Behaviour was.
03 / How it works
Start free. Nothing commits you to the next step until you have seen what the last one found.
Twenty questions across four categories: people and skills, process and oversight, rules and risk, plus candidate and client trust. You get a score, you see where the risks and the quick wins sit and you see how you compare.
Take the Scorecard →One week. We map how AI is actually being used across your agency, desk by desk. Which tools, what data, where the risks sit and where the fastest productivity wins are. You get a plain-English report and a baseline Trust Score.
Book the Review →Thirty days. Rules, workflows, training and a roadmap, implemented inside your agency rather than presented to it. Your £2,500 Review is credited in full, leaving £5,500.
See the 30 days →Standard price is £12,000. The pilot price is £8,000, a saving of £4,000. Book a Sprint within 60 days of the Review and the full £2,500 comes off that as well. Most agencies continue afterwards as a retained Implementation Partner, from £2,500 a month, covering governance reviews, usage audits and the annual re-score.
Prices are subject to change.
04 / The 30 days
05 / The maths
Move the sliders to your agency. The defaults are what we see in a 15 consultant desk, and the realisation rate is there because no workflow ever saves 100% of the time it should.
06 / What you keep
Not a slide deck and a certificate. Working implementation inside your agency.
07 / Where we start
You may have read about AI screening candidates or scoring applicants. We deliberately do not start there. Automated candidate decisions carry legal and reputational risk that most agencies are not ready to manage, and the ICO is watching that space closely.
The safe, high-value starting point is admin. Formatting, drafting, summarising and preparing. Work that eats consultant hours without needing consultant judgement. Get that right first, and the harder questions get easier.
We protect the judgement your placements depend on.
08 / Who is behind it
Powerhouse Digital is led by Tim Bennett, an AI specialist who builds and implements AI systems for businesses, including the BOB-E.ai agent platform. We have delivered AI implementation for leading brands including PING Golf Europe and worked with businesses across the UK, Europe and South East Asia.
We are not trainers reading from someone else’s slides. We build the workflows and put them to work inside real businesses, including our own.

09 / Fair questions
That is exactly what the Review answers. One week, £2,500, and you get a clear picture of how AI is being used across your agency and where the risks and quick wins sit. Go ahead with the Sprint within 60 days and the £2,500 comes off the price. You are not committing to anything you have not seen the evidence for.
Then you have seen the pattern. Awareness goes up, behaviour stays the same. The Sprint is not a repeat of that day. It puts rules and working workflows inside your consultants’ actual tasks, then measures the difference against a baseline we take in week one.
No. We deliver practical AI governance and staff guidance designed to support safer adoption. Your legal or data protection adviser should review the final policy wording, and the Governance Pack is built to make that review quick rather than painful.
Some tools will disappear, no question. That is exactly why we do not teach tool worship. We build rules, workflows and judgement, which transfer when the tools change. The agencies saving consultant hours right now are not waiting to find out.
Week one needs a short survey and a handful of interviews. Week three needs a workshop to choose the workflows and the consultants who own those tasks for testing. Week four needs one training session and a leadership debrief. We do the building. Your team does the choosing and the checking.
Same programme, different risk. In manufacturing the data leaving the building is drawings, specifications, supplier pricing and customer documents, so AI is an intellectual property question before it is a productivity one. We built a separate version of the Sprint for that market.
