What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose track of urgent C-suite inquiries emailed at 2 AM EST. Now, it qualifies passive candidates overnight, flags cultural fit notes, and syncs vetted profiles to our ATS by 8 AM— we've closed three Fortune 500 placements in the last quarter that would have slipped away due to time zone delays."
Sarah Jenkins
Managing Partner, TalentForge Executive Partners
"Integrating this into our client portal was a game-changer for our APAC executive searches. It handled a time-sensitive VP of Finance role inquiry from Tokyo at midnight EST, providing preliminary background checks and scheduling a consultant call within hours— saved us two weeks on that fill and secured a 7-figure mandate."
Michael Reyes
Director of Global Operations, ExecuSearch International
"As a boutique firm specializing in board placements, we couldn't afford 24/7 staff, but this AI feels like an extension of our team. It caught a subtle hint in a client's encrypted message about succession planning for a tech CEO role, leading to our biggest mandate this year— revenue up 15% in Q3 thanks to that proactive engagement."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle confidential executive search details?
Security is paramount in executive search. Our custom chatbot is built with end-to-end encryption and role-based access, ensuring sensitive candidate or client data never leaves your controlled environment. It only references anonymized insights from your trained knowledge base, flagging any potential NDA breaches for human review. For instance, when discussing a C-suite placement, it qualifies interest without revealing specifics until verified. This approach has helped firms maintain zero compliance incidents over two years of deployment, aligning with industry standards from bodies like the Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants.
Yes, we specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations with popular ATS platforms used in executive search. Our engineers map your workflows to create seamless data flow—such as auto-populating candidate profiles from chat interactions or updating placement statuses in real-time. Unlike superficial plugins, our custom APIs handle complex fields like compensation benchmarks and cultural fit notes. Firms typically see setup in 4-6 weeks, with ongoing support to adapt as your ATS evolves, reducing manual entry by 70% and minimizing errors in high-value searches.
Our AI is designed as an intelligent first responder, not a replacement. It detects complexity—say, a client's subtle hint at diversity hiring preferences—and escalates seamlessly to your recruiters via integrated notifications, complete with chat transcripts and key insights. This handoff maintains the consultative rapport essential to executive search, with 92% of escalations resolved within an hour. We've fine-tuned this for scenarios like board-level matches, where the bot gathers prelim details but defers strategic counsel to your team, boosting efficiency without compromising relationships.
We provide a bespoke analytics dashboard that tracks metrics tailored to executive search: response times, lead qualification accuracy, conversion to placements, and ROI per interaction. For example, monitor how many after-hours chats lead to filled roles versus pre-implementation baselines. Clients often see a 25-40% uplift in captured opportunities within the first quarter. Our team conducts quarterly reviews to optimize based on your data, ensuring the system drives tangible outcomes like faster time-to-fill for critical positions, backed by industry benchmarks from sources like Executive Search Review.
Absolutely—it's custom-built for SMB executive search firms, starting from 10-50 employees. We handle all technical heavy lifting, from deployment to maintenance, so your team focuses on relationships, not code. No need for in-house IT; we integrate with your existing tools without overhauling them. A boutique client recently scaled from handling 20 monthly inquiries to 100+, increasing placements by 22% without adding staff. Pricing is transparent and scalable, avoiding the subscription traps that burden smaller operations.
From consultation to launch, expect 6-8 weeks for a fully customized solution, accelerated by our proven frameworks. We prioritize based on your needs— for peak seasons like Q4 executive shuffles, we can deploy a MVP in 3 weeks with core 24/7 response features, then iterate. This includes training on your data for accurate, firm-specific interactions. Past clients in fast-paced markets have reported immediate wins, like capturing 15% more leads during launch month, ensuring you stay competitive without delays.
