What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were buried under resumes that didn't mention basic stuff like spring tensioning or remote programming. Their system found us three solid installers with sectional panel experience in just two weeks, and we've cut our hiring time in half. No more emergency shifts covered by temps during holiday surges—our backlog dropped by 30%."
Mike Reynolds
Operations Manager, Apex Garage Doors of Denver
"Hiring during storm season was a nightmare—guys showing up without tool experience for chain-drive opener alignments. The AI screening nailed it; we onboarded a tech who fixed our backlog of bent track jobs right away, handling 25 calls in his first month. Saved us about $10k in overtime last quarter by avoiding rushed repairs."
Sarah Lopez
Owner, QuickFix Overhead Doors in Houston
"I was skeptical about AI for recruiting tradespeople, but it pulled candidates from local vocational programs I never thought of, all certified in ANSI safety standards. Our new hires have already handled 50+ service calls on wall-mounted openers without hand-holding, boosting our on-time completion rate to 95%. It's like having an extra recruiter who gets the garage door world inside out."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI ensure candidates have real garage door experience?
Our system is trained on industry-specific keywords and metrics, like familiarity with sectional doors or remote programming. It cross-references resumes against verified sources, such as past employers in the home services sector, and even simulates scenario-based questions during screening. For garage door companies, this means prioritizing techs who've handled high-volume installs or emergency roll-up repairs. We've fine-tuned it for over 40 firms, reducing mismatched hires by 65%. It's not just scanning—it's intelligently evaluating fit for your hands-on environment, saving you from costly trial-and-error onboarding.
What kind of time savings can we expect in the first month?
Right out of the gate, expect to reclaim 10-15 hours weekly from manual tasks. Instead of your team combing through 50+ applications for one installer spot, the AI pre-screens and ranks top matches in minutes. For a typical garage door operation handling 20-30 jobs daily, this translates to faster fills during busy periods, like spring cleanups. Clients report a 50% drop in admin time within weeks, with full ROI hitting as hires ramp up productivity. We customize the pipeline to your workflow, ensuring quick wins without disrupting service calls.
Is this recruiting automation secure for handling applicant data?
Absolutely—security is non-negotiable in trades where personal details matter. We build with end-to-end encryption, compliant with GDPR and CCPA standards, and store data in fortified AWS environments. For garage door businesses, this means protecting sensitive info like certification numbers or local addresses from breaches. Unlike cloud-based templates, our owned systems give you full control, with audit logs for every access. We've audited similar setups for home services clients, ensuring zero vulnerabilities, so you focus on hiring without compliance headaches.
Can it integrate with our existing scheduling software?
Yes, we design for seamless compatibility with tools like Jobber or Housecall Pro, common in garage door ops. The AI pulls from your calendar to suggest interview slots that avoid overlapping with track replacement jobs, and pushes qualified candidates directly into your pipeline. If you're using custom dispatch apps, our engineers handle two-way APIs for real-time sync—no more double-entry errors. This integration has helped firms cut scheduling conflicts by 70%, keeping your team on the road and not stuck in meetings. It's all tailored during our discovery phase to match your exact setup.
How much does custom recruiting automation cost for a mid-sized garage door company?
Pricing starts at $15,000 for a full build, scaled to your needs—like sourcing for 5-10 hires yearly. This covers custom development, integration, and three months of optimization, far below the $50k+ in lost revenue from unfilled roles per industry stats. Factor in the savings: reduced recruiter fees (often $7k per hire) and 40% lower turnover costs. For a company with $5M revenue, it pays for itself in 4-6 months through efficiency gains. We provide a detailed ROI projection in your free consultation, based on your current hiring volume and pain points.
What if we need to scale hiring during peak seasons?
Our system is built to flex with your business—like ramping up for summer storm repairs. The AI dynamically adjusts sourcing based on demand forecasts, pulling more candidates from regional pools when you need extra hands for volume. We've engineered it with scalable cloud architecture, handling 2-3x the usual load without slowdowns. Past clients, including door service providers, used it to hire 15 techs in a month during hurricane season, maintaining service levels. Post-launch, we include performance tuning to ensure it grows with you, no extra rebuilds required.
