What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable ROI That Transforms Your Hiring
Slash Recruitment Time by 25+ Hours Weekly
Slash Recruitment Time by 25+ Hours Weekly: Manual sifting through hundreds of NMLS applications eats into your core business. Our AI handles initial screening, FINRA compliance verification, and interview scheduling, delivering qualified loan officers 3x faster. Industry benchmarks from the Mortgage Bankers Association show brokerages save $150K annually in opportunity costs, redirecting focus to closing more FHA and VA loans while enhancing client advisory services.
Boost Hiring ROI with 40% Cost Reductions
Boost Hiring ROI with 40% Cost Reductions: Traditional recruiting agencies charge premiums for subpar matches that lead to quick turnover in high-pressure environments like mortgage origination and securities trading. Our custom system predicts fit based on your exact underwriting workflows and risk tolerance profiles, cutting agency fees and reducing turnover by 35%. Expect a 6-month payback on investment through lower onboarding costs for Series 7 licensees and faster ramp-up to productive deal closures.
Ensure Bulletproof Compliance and Risk Mitigation
Ensure Bulletproof Compliance and Risk Mitigation: Navigating FINRA, CFPB, SEC, and state NMLS licensing is non-negotiable in financial services. We embed automated regulatory checks into every step, including real-time background verifications via FBI and OFAC databases and immutable audit trails for U4 filings. This saves 15 hours weekly on manual reviews, positions your firm as a compliance leader, and avoids fines averaging $250K per violation as reported by the SEC Enforcement Division.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays buried in NMLS resume reviews, often missing out on great loan officers during the Q4 refinance surge. Their custom automation cut our sourcing time from days to hours, and we hired three top performers last quarter alone—all fully compliant with SAFE Act requirements without a hitch. It's like having an extra recruiter who never sleeps, especially when Fed announcements spike applications."
Sarah Jenkins
HR Director, Horizon Mortgage Group (a mid-sized brokerage handling $500M in annual originations)
"We were hemorrhaging money on agency fees for Series 63-certified brokers who didn't stick around past the first rate hike cycle. The AI system they built integrates with our Encompass CRM and flags cultural fits based on our proprietary underwriting style and risk appetite. In six months, turnover dropped 28%, and we're saving about $80K yearly on retraining. Finally, tech that gets the mortgage grind and FINRA filing headaches."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Apex Financial Brokers (specializing in commercial lending with 200+ agents)
"Compliance was our biggest headache—manual checks for FINRA BrokerCheck updates and CFPB fair lending certifications took forever amid SOFR transition chaos. AIQ's solution automates it all, with built-in alerts for NMLS license expirations and seamless U4 submissions. We onboarded a senior underwriter in under two weeks, right when 30-year rates dipped below 6%, and avoided a potential SEC audit mess. Solid work from a team that understands our regulated world."

Talent Acquisition Lead, Secure Lending Partners (a FINRA-registered firm managing $1B in assets)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting automation ensure compliance with mortgage industry regulations?
Compliance is baked into our core architecture. We integrate directly with NMLS and FINRA databases to automate license verifications, background checks, and reporting requirements. For instance, the system flags any discrepancies in real-time, generates audit-ready logs, and ensures all data handling adheres to CFPB privacy rules. Unlike generic tools, our custom builds are reviewed by financial compliance experts, reducing violation risks by 85% based on client benchmarks. This means your brokerage avoids fines while streamlining hires—typically saving 12-15 hours weekly on manual checks. We also provide ongoing updates to match evolving regulations, like recent Dodd-Frank amendments.
What kind of time savings can a mortgage brokerage expect from this service?
Our clients typically reclaim 25-30 hours per week from repetitive tasks like resume screening and scheduling. For a mid-sized brokerage processing 200 applications monthly, this translates to sourcing qualified loan officers 3x faster, with ROI realized in under six months through reduced agency fees—often $100K+ annually. The system automates 70% of initial vetting, allowing your team to focus on high-value activities like client consultations and deal negotiations. We've seen productivity boosts of 40% in hiring teams, directly correlating to more closed loans during peak refinancing periods.
Is the system customizable to our specific mortgage workflow?
Absolutely—every solution is tailored to your exact operations. We start with a deep dive into your processes, such as integrating with your loan origination system to match candidates skilled in FHA or reverse mortgages. No cookie-cutter templates; we build features like automated alerts for hiring needs during rate drops. This custom fit ensures seamless adoption, with 95% of users reporting immediate efficiency gains. For example, one client customized scoring for bilingual brokers to serve diverse markets, cutting time-to-hire by 50% without disrupting daily underwriting.
How secure is the data in your recruiting automation platform?
Security is paramount in financial services. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for all applicant data, with SOC 2 Type II compliance and role-based access controls to protect sensitive info like SSNs and financial histories. Integrations are two-way APIs with end-to-end encryption, preventing breaches common in patched-together tools. Regular penetration testing and compliance audits ensure adherence to GLBA and state privacy laws. Clients appreciate the peace of mind— one brokerage noted zero incidents post-implementation, unlike their prior system's vulnerabilities during high-volume seasons.
What happens after the initial build? Is there ongoing support?
Post-deployment, you own the system outright, but we provide comprehensive support including quarterly optimizations and feature updates to adapt to market changes, like new licensing rules. Our maintenance package includes 24/7 monitoring for uptime (99.9% SLA) and training for your team. Unlike subscription models, this avoids hidden fees while ensuring scalability—for instance, expanding to handle 50% more hires during booms. Clients report sustained 35% efficiency gains year-over-year, with our experts on call to refine based on your evolving brokerage needs.
Can this integrate with our existing CRM and compliance tools?
Yes, we specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations with platforms like Salesforce, Encompass, or Black Knight for seamless data flow. This eliminates manual entry errors, syncing candidate details directly into your loan pipelines. For compliance, we connect to tools like Thomson Reuters for real-time checks. Implementation typically takes 4-6 weeks, with zero downtime. A recent client integrated with their custom CRM, reducing data discrepancies by 92% and enabling automated talent mapping to branch-specific needs.
