What Clients Say
"We used to spend Fridays buried in LinkedIn searches for graphic designers proficient in Adobe Creative Suite for our e-commerce client campaigns. After AIQ Labs built our custom screener integrated with our ATS, we're down to two hours a week, and our last hire—a UX specialist with Figma expertise—nailed a major campaign pitch within three days of onboarding. It's transformed how we scale without burnout during peak seasons."
Sarah Mitchell
Talent Acquisition Director, PixelForge Creative Agency
"Hiring copywriters with SEO and brand voice expertise during Q4 rushes was a nightmare—endless emails and ghosted interviews delaying client launches. Their AI system integrated seamlessly with our Slack, Google Calendar, and project management tools, automating everything from screening to offers. We filled three roles in under a month, saving us about 15 hours weekly that we poured into a holiday client push for a major retail brand. No more juggling multiple subscription tools either."
David Chen
Operations and Talent Lead, BrandWave Digital Marketing Firm
"As a boutique agency focused on PR and strategy, we couldn't afford bad hires impacting client deliverables and retention rates. AIQ's automation flagged candidates based on our past successful strategists' profiles, including media relations experience, reducing our turnover from 25% to under 10% within the first year. The custom dashboard has been a game-changer for tracking diverse talent pipelines across our 15+ active client accounts."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting automation handle the unique needs of marketing agencies?
Marketing agencies thrive on creative synergy and client alignment, so we design our AI to prioritize those elements. For instance, the system screens for soft skills like collaborative ideation alongside technical prowess in tools like Figma. We start by mapping your workflow—say, sourcing social media specialists for a retail client—and build models that learn from your successful hires. This results in 50% fewer mismatches, saving weeks of ramp-up time. Unlike generic platforms, ours integrates directly with your project management software to flag candidates who can jump into active campaigns without delay. Over 80% of our agency clients see ROI within the first quarter, with full customization ensuring it fits your boutique or full-service model.
What kind of time savings can we expect from this custom solution?
Agencies typically lose 20-30 hours weekly to manual recruiting tasks, like chasing leads or reviewing unqualified portfolios. Our AI automates 80% of that, reclaiming those hours for billable client work. For example, one agency partner reduced sourcing from 15 hours to 2 per role, directly boosting their utilization rate by 15%. We quantify this during discovery, targeting your specific pain points—like peak-season hiring—and deliver dashboards to track gains. The result? A clear path to 3-5x ROI, with efficiency compounding as the system learns your preferences. It's not just savings; it's reallocating expertise where it drives revenue.
How do you ensure the AI respects our client confidentiality and compliance standards?
In professional services, trust is paramount, especially with client-facing roles. We build with enterprise-grade security from the start, using encrypted data flows and role-based access controls tailored to your agency's needs. The AI is trained solely on anonymized internal data, never external datasets that could risk leaks. For compliance, like GDPR for international clients, we incorporate audit trails and bias checks to maintain fairness. Our past deployments for agencies handling Fortune 500 accounts have zero compliance incidents, thanks to custom protocols. You own the system, so you control data retention—ensuring sensitive campaign details stay protected while streamlining hires.
Is this solution scalable for agencies growing from 20 to 100 team members?
Absolutely—scalability is core to our engineering approach. We architect the system with modular code that handles volume spikes, like hiring 10 creatives during a major pitch season, without performance lags. For a mid-sized agency, this means processing 500+ resumes monthly while maintaining 95% accuracy in matches. As you grow, we add features like advanced forecasting to predict talent gaps based on client wins. Unlike rigid SaaS tools, our custom build evolves with you—no migration headaches. Clients scaling from 25 to 75 heads report seamless transitions, with hiring costs dropping 25% as the AI optimizes over time.
How long does it take to implement and see results from your recruiting automation?
Implementation typically spans 6-8 weeks, starting with a two-week discovery to blueprint your workflows. We then build and test in iterations, launching a MVP within four weeks for immediate use on live hires. Early wins, like automated screening, kick in right away—agencies often fill their first role 40% faster. Full optimization, including custom integrations, wraps by week eight, with ongoing tweaks for peak performance. One partner went from concept to 18 hours saved weekly in under two months. We provide milestones and ROI projections upfront, ensuring quick value in your fast-moving environment.
What makes your custom approach better than off-the-shelf recruiting tools?
Off-the-shelf tools force agencies into rigid templates, ignoring nuances like matching for cultural fit in collaborative creative teams. We build bespoke, owning every line of code to integrate precisely with your ecosystem—think syncing candidate evals to client feedback loops in Monday.com. This eliminates the 20% failure rate of generic integrations that disrupt workflows. Our systems deliver 2x better match quality, per industry benchmarks, because they're trained on your data, not averages. Plus, you avoid subscription fees averaging $10K yearly, gaining a scalable asset that grows with your client base. It's the difference between a patched-together toolbox and a precision instrument for talent acquisition.
