What Clients Say
""Before AIQ Labs, we were constantly blindsided by client surges in Q4 for cybersecurity specialists, leading to rushed hires and mismatched placements that strained our VMS integrations. Their custom forecasting integrated seamlessly with our Bullhorn ATS and now we project candidate needs three months out based on RFP pipelines—our placement success rate jumped from 72% to 91% in just six months, stabilizing our contingent workforce flow.""
Sarah Jenkins
Director of Talent Acquisition, Apex Professional Recruiters
""In executive search for C-suite roles in fintech, timing is everything. The generic tools we tried couldn't handle our variable MSA contract lengths or niche compliance requirements. AIQ's solution feels like it was built inside our operations—it factors in our specialized finance placements and has cut our bench costs by over 25% without sacrificing quality, allowing us to scale for multi-year advisory projects.""
Michael Torres

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does custom inventory forecasting differ from standard ATS reporting?
Standard ATS tools provide basic snapshots of current candidate pools, but they lack predictive power for future demands. Our custom AI at AIQ Labs analyzes patterns in your historical placements, client contract cycles, and external market signals to forecast talent needs weeks or months ahead. For recruitment agencies, this means anticipating a surge in software engineer roles during tech hiring seasons, rather than reacting after a client brief arrives. We've seen agencies reduce placement delays by 30% with this proactive approach, all while integrating seamlessly into your existing workflow without disrupting daily operations. It's built for the relational dynamics of professional services, ensuring you maintain client trust through reliable delivery.
What data sources does the forecasting model use for recruitment agencies?
We pull from your internal goldmines: ATS records of past placements, CRM notes on client preferences, and contract timelines. Externally, we incorporate anonymized industry benchmarks like hiring trends from LinkedIn or sector reports. For a recruitment agency focused on executive search, the model might weigh variables like economic indicators affecting C-suite turnover. Everything is customized—no generic inputs. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, with full ownership of the data pipeline, so you're not locked into vendor dependencies. This holistic view has helped clients like mid-sized firms optimize their bench, cutting costs by 25% while boosting fill rates.
How long does it take to implement this for our agency?
Implementation is streamlined for speed without sacrificing quality. Phase one: 1-2 weeks for discovery, mapping your data flows from ATS and CRM. Phase two: 3-4 weeks building and testing the AI model against your historical data. Total rollout: 6-8 weeks to live dashboards. Unlike off-the-shelf solutions that require months of configuration, our engineering-first approach minimizes downtime. Post-launch, we provide training and iterate based on your first quarter's placements. Agencies report seeing value immediately, with one client noting a 20% improvement in pipeline visibility within the first month of use.
Is this forecasting compliant with data privacy laws for candidate information?
Absolutely. We design every system with GDPR, CCPA, and recruitment-specific regs in mind, ensuring candidate data stays encrypted and under your control. No third-party cloud storage unless you specify; models run on your secure infrastructure. For professional services firms handling sensitive profiles, this means audit-ready logs and anonymization for training data. We've navigated compliance for 50+ agencies, avoiding fines that plague generic tools. It's peace of mind: focus on building client relationships, not legal headaches.
Can this scale as our agency grows from 50 to 200 placements per month?
Yes, scalability is core to our builds. Using robust frameworks, the system handles exponential data growth without performance dips—think processing 10x the candidate volume seamlessly. As your agency expands, we add modules like multi-office support or international trend integration. One client scaled from boutique to regional powerhouse, maintaining 92% forecast accuracy amid 150% volume increase. It's not brittle like no-code; it's enterprise-grade, evolving with your client base and team size for sustained efficiency.
What if our recruitment niche is very specialized, like healthcare staffing?
Specialization is our strength. We tailor models to your niche— for healthcare, factoring in certification expirations, regulatory shifts, and shift-based demands. No one-size-fits-all; we train on your data plus curated industry sources like nursing shortage reports. This precision has helped specialized agencies predict locum tenens needs with 88% accuracy, reducing scramble hires. Implementation includes niche-specific tuning sessions, ensuring the forecast aligns with your workflow, from sourcing to placement confirmation.
