What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays buried in spreadsheets chasing C-suite leads for a tech CEO retained search. Now, the automation handles sourcing from LinkedIn and initial ATS screens, saving us about 15 hours a week. We closed that placement in 45 days instead of three months, and the client returned for their CFO role within two quarters, boosting our annual revenue by 20%."
Sarah Thompson
Managing Partner, Apex Executive Search Partners
"Integrating this with our Bullhorn ATS was a game-changer for our executive recruiting workflow. No more double-entry for candidate notes or scheduling mishaps during peak Q4 season for healthcare VP searches. In the last quarter, we reduced no-shows by half and landed two director-level hires for a major hospital client that had been dragging on for four months, securing a follow-on contract."
Michael Reyes
Senior Executive Recruiter, Elite Talent Solutions Group
"We were skeptical about custom AI for board-level placements, but after implementation, our firm's advisory reports now include predictive talent insights pulled automatically from market intelligence data. It cut our research time in half for a recent Fortune 100 board search, and the client praised our proactive approach—leading to an upsell on comprehensive succession planning services worth $150K."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting automation handle confidential executive searches?
We prioritize data security with enterprise-grade encryption and role-based access controls, ensuring sensitive candidate details remain confidential. For executive search firms, this means AI processes resumes and profiles without exposing them to external platforms. Our custom builds comply with GDPR and industry standards, allowing secure sharing only with authorized client stakeholders. In practice, we've helped firms manage high-stakes C-suite searches by automating vetting while maintaining audit trails for every action—reducing breach risks by 90% compared to manual handling.
What makes this different from off-the-shelf ATS tools?
Unlike generic ATS platforms that force your workflows into rigid templates, our solution is engineered specifically for executive search nuances, like parsing subtle leadership signals in resumes or predicting fit for board-level roles. We eliminate subscription chaos by creating a owned system that integrates deeply with your CRM, saving 30-50% on tool costs. For instance, while tools like LinkedIn Recruiter offer basic sourcing, ours builds predictive models from your historical data, improving match accuracy by 25% and directly impacting placement success rates.
How long does implementation take for a firm our size?
For SMB executive search firms with 10-50 recruiters, full deployment typically takes 6-8 weeks, starting with a two-week discovery phase to map your processes. We prototype core features like sourcing automation in week three, then integrate and test. This timeline ensures minimal disruption—many clients see initial time savings within the first month. Post-launch, we provide training and a 30-day optimization period, with one firm reporting a 20-hour weekly gain by week four in their ongoing searches.
Can the AI adapt to our specific industry verticals like finance or tech?
Absolutely—our AI is trained on your firm's data and vertical-specific benchmarks, such as fintech regulatory expertise or tech innovation track records. We customize models to recognize jargon and criteria unique to your searches, like SOX compliance for finance execs. This results in 35% higher relevance in candidate shortlists. For a tech-focused firm we partnered with, the system learned from past placements to prioritize AI/ML experience, cutting sourcing time from days to hours while maintaining the personalized touch clients expect.
What kind of ROI can we expect, and how is it measured?
Clients typically see a 3-5x ROI in the first year through time savings (25+ hours/week per recruiter at $100/hour billing) and faster placements (reducing costs by 40%). We measure via custom KPIs like time-to-hire, placement yield, and cost-per-hire, benchmarked against industry averages from sources like the Association of Executive Search Consultants. For example, one partner reduced their average search cycle from 75 to 35 days, adding $150K in annual fees from increased capacity—tracked via integrated dashboards from day one.
Will this require our team to learn new tools or change processes?
Minimal disruption: we design the system to mirror your existing workflows, with intuitive interfaces that feel like an extension of your current ATS. Training takes just 4-6 hours per user, focusing on oversight rather than operation. Recruiters continue building client relationships while AI handles repetitive tasks. A recent implementation for a mid-sized firm involved zero process overhauls; instead, it automated outreach, allowing their team to focus on strategy—resulting in 28% more client meetings without added headcount.
