What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays buried in quote revisions for temp nursing placements, manually cross-referencing shift differentials from our ATS. Now, the system pulls shift rates, credential requirements, and client prefs automatically— we've cut turnaround from 4 hours to 20 minutes, landed two major hospital contracts worth $500K in the last quarter, and boosted our fill rate by 28%."
Sarah Mitchell
Operations Director, HealthStaff Solutions (Specializing in Travel Nursing Placements)
"Custom automation changed everything for our executive search division. No more haggling over retained search fee percentages in endless email threads; quotes generate with built-in negotiation buffers and market comps from sources like Heidrick & Struggles data. Saved us about 8 hours a week per recruiter, increased our placement success rate from 22% to 38% in six months, and secured three C-suite mandates averaging $250K each."
David Chen
Managing Partner, ExecTalent Partners (Executive Recruitment Firm)
"We handle high-volume IT contracting for software developers and cybersecurity experts, and manual quotes were killing our margins on quick-turn 3-month gigs due to overlooked travel reimbursements. AIQ's setup integrates our tiered bill rates and compliance add-ons flawlessly—reduced pricing errors by 90%, and we're now billing 15% more without extra headcount, adding $300K to quarterly revenue from expanded vendor partnerships."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle variable fee structures in recruitment?
Our system is designed with flexibility at its core. We train the AI on your specific fee models—whether percentage-based for perms, markups for temps, or hybrid for contracts. For instance, it automatically adjusts for variables like candidate scarcity or client tenure. During setup, we map your tiers (e.g., 20-30% for mid-level IT roles) and integrate historical data for accuracy. This ensures quotes are not only fast but profitable, reducing underquoting errors that plague 60% of agencies per SIA benchmarks. Post-launch, we monitor and tweak for evolving market conditions, like inflation adjustments.
What integrations are supported for my existing recruitment tools?
We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with popular ATS platforms like Bullhorn, Avature, and JobDiva, plus CRMs such as Salesforce or HubSpot. The system pulls candidate details, client histories, and billing data in real-time, eliminating manual entry. For example, a quote for a finance role might auto-populate from your ATS notes on the candidate's certifications. We also connect to accounting tools like QuickBooks for invoice alignment. Unlike superficial plugins, our custom APIs ensure reliability—even during peak usage—cutting integration failures by 85% compared to off-the-shelf options.
How secure is the system for handling sensitive candidate information?
Security is non-negotiable in recruitment, where data breaches can cost agencies millions. We build with enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) and role-based access controls, compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and EEOC guidelines. Candidate PII is anonymized during processing, and all quotes include automated redaction options. Our in-house platforms, like RecoverlyAI, have handled regulated data for years without incidents. Regular audits and SOC 2 certification provide peace of mind, allowing you to focus on placements rather than compliance worries that sideline 40% of agencies annually.
What's the timeline for implementing this custom automation?
From consultation to live deployment, expect 4-6 weeks for most agencies, depending on complexity. Week 1 involves discovery: mapping your workflows and data sources. Weeks 2-3 focus on building and testing the AI core, using your sample quotes for training. Integration and user training wrap up in week 4, with a soft launch to iron out kinks. We've accelerated this for smaller teams to 3 weeks, but prioritize quality to avoid disruptions. Post-go-live, our support ensures smooth scaling, helping you realize time savings immediately—many clients see 50% efficiency gains in the first month.
Can this scale for agencies with multiple branches or international clients?
Absolutely—scalability is baked in. The system supports multi-location setups by incorporating branch-specific rates and currencies (e.g., USD to EUR conversions for global placements). For a firm like yours with offices in three countries, we configure centralized dashboards for oversight while allowing localized quote tweaks. It handles 1,000+ quotes monthly without lag, drawing from our experience building systems for 200-employee agencies. As your volume grows—say, during Q4 hiring rushes—we optimize for performance, ensuring consistent ROI across borders and reducing cross-team silos that fragment 70% of multi-site operations.
How do you measure the ROI of this quote automation?
We track ROI through clear metrics: time saved (hours per quote), error reduction (percentage of revised quotes), and revenue impact (win rate uplift). For a typical agency, this means recouping costs in 2-3 months via 20-30% faster placements. We provide a pre-build projection based on your data—e.g., if you generate 50 quotes monthly at 2 hours each, that's 4,000 hours yearly saved at $50/hour, or $200K in productivity. Post-implementation, custom reports show ongoing gains, like a 15% margin increase from precise pricing, aligned with benchmarks from the American Staffing Association.
