What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were drowning in spreadsheets for client updates on executive pipelines. Now, our team pulls real-time stats on time-to-hire in seconds, and we've closed three C-suite searches in under 60 days that would've taken twice as long using our old ATS. It's transformed how we pitch value to Fortune 500 clients."
Sarah Mitchell
Managing Partner, Vertex Executive Search Partners
"The custom integration with our Bullhorn ATS was a game-changer. We finally track diversity metrics across all retained search mandates without manual audits, and it's helped us win bids from DEI-focused tech corporates. Placement accuracy for senior engineering roles jumped 28% in the first quarter alone."

What's Included
Common Questions
How long does it take to build a custom dashboard for our executive search firm?
Typically, we deliver a fully functional prototype in 4-6 weeks, depending on the complexity of your integrations. This includes discovery, design, and initial build phases. Full deployment with training follows shortly after, ensuring your team is up and running within 8-10 weeks. We've streamlined this for search firms by focusing on high-impact KPIs first, like pipeline health, so you see value quickly without waiting for perfection.
What data sources can you integrate into the dashboard?
We connect seamlessly with popular tools in executive search, including Bullhorn, Avature, LinkedIn Recruiter, Salesforce, and even email platforms like Outlook. Our deep API expertise handles two-way syncs, pulling in candidate profiles, client mandates, and interaction histories. For firms using legacy systems, we build custom connectors to eliminate silos, creating a single view of your entire operation. This has helped clients consolidate data from 5+ sources into one reliable dashboard.
Is the dashboard secure for handling sensitive candidate information?
Absolutely. We adhere to enterprise-grade security standards, including SOC 2 compliance, end-to-end encryption, and role-based access to protect confidential details like executive salaries and personal data. For executive search, where GDPR and client NDAs are critical, we implement audit trails for all data access. Our systems are battle-tested in regulated environments, ensuring your firm's reputation stays intact while providing the visibility you need.
Can we customize the dashboard for our specific search verticals, like tech or finance?
Yes, every dashboard is built around your exact workflows. For a tech-focused firm, we might emphasize metrics like AI skill matching or remote placement trends; for finance, regulatory compliance trackers. We map your vertical's unique challenges during discovery, incorporating custom fields for things like sector-specific benchmarks. This tailored approach has enabled clients to track niche KPIs, resulting in more precise placements and stronger vertical expertise demonstrations to clients.
What ongoing support do you provide after launch?
Post-launch, we offer comprehensive support including monthly performance reviews, feature updates based on your feedback, and priority bug fixes. Unlike subscription models, there's no mandatory retainer—our ownership model means you control the system, with optional consulting for expansions. We've seen firms evolve their dashboards over 12-18 months to include new AI features, like predictive sourcing, keeping them ahead in competitive markets.
How does this differ from using off-the-shelf dashboard tools?
Off-the-shelf tools like Tableau or Power BI are great for basics but lack the deep integrations needed for executive search's fluid pipelines. Our custom builds eliminate manual data pulls, embedding AI for insights like placement risk scoring. You own the code, avoiding vendor dependencies that trap 60% of firms in escalating costs. Clients report 3x faster ROI, as our solutions fit your workflow precisely, not forcing you to adapt to generic templates.
