THE AUTOMATED SERIES
Field-tested playbooks, not think pieces.
Two books, one argument: automate the work that drains people so they can focus on the work that moves the organization forward. Both are drawn from systems Jeff has actually built and shipped.

The Automated Recruiter
How AI and automation are transforming HR forever — and helping teams hire faster, smarter, and more profitably.
Most recruiting teams are not short on effort. They are short on hours, because too much of the week goes to work a system should be doing: retyping candidate data, chasing status updates, screening resumes by hand, and rebuilding the same reports every Monday.
This book is the practical version of that fix. It walks through where AI genuinely helps, where it quietly creates risk, and how to decide the difference — then gives you the OpsMap and OpsSprint methods for finding and removing friction in your own workflow.
Which recruiting tasks to automate first — and which to leave alone
How to evaluate AI vendor claims without a technical background
The OpsMap framework, applied to a real hiring pipeline
How to bring your team along instead of scaring them

The Automated Law Firm
Reclaim capacity. Remove friction. Move the firm forward.
A firm’s capacity rarely disappears in one place. It leaks — through intake forms retyped between systems, conflict checks chased over email, matter files assembled by hand, and pre-bills that circulate for a week before anyone bills anything.
Written for administrators, executive directors, and legal operations leaders, this book is a working playbook for finding that friction, deciding what to automate, and rolling it out without disrupting the practice or spooking the partners.
Where automation belongs in intake, matters, and billing
How to protect confidentiality and client data along the way
Building operational consistency across practice groups
Making the case to partners in terms they already care about
