Our Custom-Built Recruiting Automation Tailored to Your Construction Workflow
We've helped construction firms like yours automate hiring since 2019, integrating with tools like Procore and your HR systems for seamless results.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest—construction hiring isn't like office recruiting. You're dealing with seasonal surges, safety regs, and folks who might be on a site in another state tomorrow. We build AI systems from the ground up, just like framing a sturdy foundation. No off-the-shelf nonsense that breaks under pressure. Your custom solution scans resumes for real skills—like blueprint reading or crane operation—then auto-schedules interviews around your crew's shifts. It's field-tested, ROI-driven, and owns your data, so you're not locked into subscriptions that drain your budget.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Real Time and Cost Savings for Your Operations
Save 25+ Hours Per Week on Manual Screening
Save 25+ Hours Per Week on Manual Screening: You're probably thinking, 'How do I even find time for this?' Picture your HR lead ditching the resume pile-up for pipefitters or millwrights. Our AI handles the grunt work, screening hundreds of applicants in under an hour by matching against blueprints of required skills like blueprint reading or CNC operation. That's time back for site walks or bidding on new infrastructure projects—translating to a quick ROI as hires ramp up faster, potentially adding 15% more billable hours per team member.
Cut Hiring Costs by 40% with Smarter Matching
Cut Hiring Costs by 40% with Smarter Matching: Here's the thing: agency fees eat into your margins, especially for short-term gigs like seasonal site builds. We automate sourcing from niche boards like Heavy Equipment Forums and your network, matching candidates to job specs—like ensuring forklift certification for warehouse-to-site transitions—as precisely as a perfect concrete pour. Firms see reduced turnover—saving thousands on retraining for roles like ironworkers—and efficiency gains that boost overall productivity by 20%, focusing your team on erecting structures, not browsing profiles.
Boost Productivity with Faster Time-to-Hire
Boost Productivity with Faster Time-to-Hire: Delays in staffing can halt a whole site, like waiting on certified electricians for panel installations. Our system predicts fit based on past project data from tools like Procore, scheduling interviews via text or app notifications that respect field hours around dawn shifts or weather delays. Result? Roles filled in days, not weeks, with quantifiable gains like 30% fewer idle days on the job—pure ROI for your bottom line, equating to $50K+ saved per delayed project.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we spent 15 hours a week just sorting resumes for our bridge crew hires, sifting through unqualified applicants without AWS welding certs. Now, the system flags certified welders automatically via integration with our ATS, and we've cut our time-to-hire from 45 days to 18 for structural roles. It's like having an extra recruiter on payroll without the salary, letting us focus on beam installations without delays."
Mike Rivera
HR Director, Apex Bridge Builders Inc.
"Hiring for remote oil rig sites was a nightmare—constant no-shows and mismatched skills in hydraulic systems. Their custom AI integrated with our scheduling software like Autodesk BIM 360, verifying OSHA 30 certs upfront before travel. Last quarter, we saved $12K on agency fees for heavy equipment roles and filled 20 positions without overtime chaos during peak fabrication season."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, BuildRight Offshore Manufacturing
"We were buried in applications after a big steel plant expansion, needing HVAC techs with EPA 608 certification. The automation screened for that experience and auto-booked interviews around 24/7 shift changes using our Kronos system. Turnover dropped 25% in six months for assembly line crews—real savings on training new guys from scratch, avoiding $8K per rehired machinist."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the unique challenges of construction hiring, like seasonal workers?
Construction hiring is tough—peaks in summer, slumps in winter, and workers chasing the next big site. Our custom AI learns your patterns, pulling from seasonal databases and predicting needs based on bid pipelines. For example, it prioritizes candidates with proven winter project experience. We integrate with your forecasting tools to flag surges early, saving you from last-minute scrambles. Clients typically see 30% faster fills during busy seasons, with built-in flexibility to pause sourcing when things slow. It's all tailored—no one-size-fits-all here.
What kind of ROI can a mid-sized construction firm expect from this?
You're ROI-driven, so let's talk numbers. A typical firm with 50-200 employees wastes 20-30 hours weekly on manual recruiting, costing $1,500+ in labor alone. Our system cuts that to 5 hours, plus 40% lower agency fees—often $10K-$20K saved yearly. One client, a general contractor, recouped their investment in three months by reducing turnover on a $5M project. We provide a custom ROI calculator during consultation, factoring your exact workflows for precise projections. It's practical, field-tested savings you can measure on the balance sheet.
Will this integrate with our existing tools like Procore or Sage?
Absolutely—we specialize in deep, two-way integrations that feel native. No more exporting CSVs or broken links. For Procore users, we sync candidate data directly to project rosters, auto-updating crew lists post-hire. Sage integration pulls payroll info for quick onboarding. We've done this for dozens of construction ops, ensuring data flows securely without downtime. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, with testing on a pilot role first. It's like bolting on a new extension to your workflow—sturdy and seamless.
How secure is the candidate data in your system?
Security is non-negotiable in construction, where you're dealing with sensitive certs and personal info. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with GDPR and CCPA, plus role-based access so only authorized site managers see details. Data stays on your owned servers—no cloud risks if you prefer on-prem. Regular audits and breach simulations keep it tight. A manufacturing partner we worked with handled 500+ applicant records flawlessly during a union audit. We walk you through it all, ensuring peace of mind for your team.
Can we start small and scale as our hiring needs grow?
Yes, we design for growth, starting with a focused pilot—like automating just foreman hires—to prove value fast. Once live, scaling is simple: add modules for trades like carpenters or expand to manufacturing lines. No rip-and-replace; it's modular, like adding phases to a build. A client began with 10 roles quarterly, now handles 50+ across sites, with zero performance dips. We include quarterly reviews to adapt, keeping your ROI climbing as your business expands.
What if our team isn't tech-savvy—how easy is training?
Field teams aren't desk-bound coders, so we keep it straightforward. Training is hands-on, 2-3 sessions via video or on-site, focusing on simple actions like approving a candidate via mobile app. No jargon—just 'swipe to schedule' simplicity. We provide cheat sheets and a dedicated support line for the first 60 days. One foreman told us, 'It's easier than logging punch times.' Post-training, usage is intuitive, boosting adoption without frustrating your crew.
