Hi, I’m James Aspinall

Ex–tech recruiter turned senior software engineer in Sydney.

I spent over a decade as a recruiter building engineering teams for global businesses. I worked a 360 role across contract and permanent recruitment. After starting and then selling my own company, had the chance to code full-time.

aspinall.ai is a technology advisory & automation studio for recruitment agencies. I blending my old life with the new to remove the copy-paste olympics from perm & contract hiring.

What we do (zero fluff)

• Advisory and initial discovery, followed by a 90-day plan
• Automation quick wins (personalised outreach, calendar-aware scheduling, CV parsing & dedupe, pipeline hygiene, auto client updates)
• AI for recruiters (semantic candidate to job matching, RAG search over briefs/notes)
• AI Training
• Contractor ops (timesheet reminders/approvals, pay/bill checks, extension forecasting, margin guardrails, redeployment nudges)
• Integrations (JobAdder, Bullhorn, Vincere, LinkedIn Recruiter, SEEK, Indeed, O365/Gmail, DocuSign, Astute Payroll, FastTrack360, Xero)
• Compliance by design (Spam Act-friendly outreach, Privacy Act handling, VEVO/work-rights checks, Fair Work guardrails)

Outcomes we target

• 20–40% reduction in admin per consultant
• Faster time-to-shortlist & higher show-rates
• Cleaner ATS data (fewer dupes, better reporting)
• Higher extension rate & protected margin
