What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were overwhelmed with resumes during our Q4 client influx, pushing back two key pitches for e-commerce brands. Their automation processed 200+ applications in just 48 hours, leading to a top copywriter hire who boosted our holiday campaign conversions by 25%. It saved us 15+ hours weekly—essential for our lean team staying client-focused."
Sarah Kline
Talent Acquisition Lead, PixelForge Creative Agency
"Sourcing graphic designers for our digital ad projects used to drag on for months, with many failing to thrive in our collaborative studio setup. Post-implementation, time-to-hire dropped to three weeks, cutting bad fits by identifying cultural red flags via AI early on. It syncs seamlessly with our Asana boards for project-aligned tracking—no more disjointed manual logs."
Mike Rivera
HR Operations Manager, Creative Edge Digital Marketing
"Last year, we expanded from 20 to 35 team members amid a surge in SEO client retainers, avoiding any deadline slips thanks to AIQ Labs' sourcing from specialized freelance networks like Upwork's creative verticals. Recruitment costs fell 35% right away, and our new specialists delivered 15% faster on keyword optimization tasks, strengthening our service portfolio."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting automation integrate with our existing agency tools?
We start by mapping your current stack—think HubSpot for client tracking, Asana for projects, and Slack for team comms. Our engineers create deep, two-way API integrations that pull candidate data directly into your workflows. For a mid-sized marketing agency, this meant syncing resume scores to project assignments automatically, eliminating manual entry and reducing errors by 90%. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our custom build ensures no data silos, creating a unified view of talent and client needs. Deployment takes 4-6 weeks, with full ownership transferred to your team for future tweaks.
What kind of time savings can a marketing agency expect?
Agencies typically save 20-30 hours per week on sourcing and screening, based on our benchmarks from 50+ implementations. One client, a 75-person firm, went from 15 hours weekly on manual reviews to just 3, redirecting that time to client strategy sessions. The ROI hits 300% in the first six months through faster hires and lower turnover. We quantify this upfront with a workflow audit, tailoring the AI to high-impact areas like creative role matching, so savings align with your billable hours model.
Is the system customizable for our agency's specific hiring needs?
Absolutely—it's built from the ground up for your exact workflow. For marketing agencies, we incorporate criteria like portfolio analysis for designers or campaign experience for strategists, unlike generic platforms. We train the AI on your historical data to prioritize candidates who thrive in client-relationship environments. A recent project for a digital agency customized scoring for SEO expertise, resulting in 40% better hire retention. No templates here; every feature, from sourcing channels to rejection automations, is tailored during our discovery phase.
How do you ensure the AI avoids bias in candidate selection?
Bias mitigation is core to our approach. We use audited algorithms that anonymize resumes during initial screening, focusing on skills and outcomes rather than demographics. For professional services like yours, this means diverse pools of creative talent that reflect client audiences. We've partnered with ethics experts to implement checks, reducing bias flags by 85% in tests. One agency client saw their team diversity increase by 25% post-implementation, strengthening their inclusive brand positioning without compromising quality.
What support do you provide after deployment?
Post-launch, we offer 90 days of hands-on optimization, monitoring performance against KPIs like time-to-hire. Our team conducts bi-weekly reviews to refine the AI based on your feedback, ensuring it evolves with agency growth. For ongoing needs, we provide documentation and optional maintenance packages, but you own the system fully. A boutique marketing firm we worked with used this to adapt for remote hiring during expansions, maintaining 50% efficiency gains year-over-year.
How much does a custom recruiting automation cost for our size agency?
Pricing starts at $25,000 for a core implementation, scaling based on complexity like integrations or advanced features. For a 50-employee agency, this includes full sourcing, screening, and dashboard build, with ROI recouped in 3-4 months via cost savings. We provide a detailed quote after discovery, factoring in your specific needs—no surprises. Compared to ongoing recruiter fees averaging $50K annually, it's a strategic investment that builds equity in your operations.
