What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we spent 30 hours a week sifting through resumes for our payroll team during tax season, risking SOX non-compliance on W-4 validations. Now, their custom system handles it all, and we hired three CPA-certified specialists in under two weeks without any FINRA red flags. It's transformed our workflow for quarterly 10-Q prep."

We've cut hiring time by half and our team's focusing on strategic AML advisory now, not admin drudgery during Dodd-Frank reviews."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation ensure compliance with financial regulations like SOX?
Our custom AI incorporates built-in checks for SOX compliance from the ground up. It scans resumes for verified experience in regulated environments, logs all data interactions for audit trails, and flags any potential risks like gaps in financial reporting knowledge. We've designed it to integrate with your existing compliance software, ensuring every step—from sourcing to screening—meets standards. Clients in payroll services have used it to pass audits without issues, saving hours on manual verifications. Unlike generic tools, it's tailored to your firm's protocols, reducing exposure by 70% based on our deployments.
What kind of time savings can a payroll firm expect?
Typically, firms reclaim 20-30 hours per week on recruiting tasks. For instance, manual screening of 200 applications might take a full day; our AI handles it in under an hour, focusing on certified payroll professionals. This boosts efficiency during peak seasons like tax time, where delays can cost thousands in overtime. One client reported filling roles 50% faster, directly tying to a 35% productivity increase in their operations team. We measure this against your baseline to guarantee ROI within the first quarter.
Is the system customizable for our specific payroll workflows?
Absolutely—it's built from scratch for your exact needs, not adapted from templates. We map your processes, like sourcing for benefits specialists or tax auditors, and embed AI to automate them. If you use ADP for payroll, we integrate directly for seamless data flow. This avoids the pitfalls of off-the-shelf software that ignores nuances like quarterly compliance deadlines. Our approach has helped mid-sized firms create owned systems that evolve with their growth, ensuring long-term fit without ongoing vendor dependencies.
How secure is candidate data in this recruiting automation?
Security is paramount in legal-financial spaces. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data, compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and FINRA guidelines. Applicant info is stored in isolated, access-controlled environments, with automated purging after hiring cycles. Our systems include anomaly detection to prevent breaches, and we conduct regular penetration testing. A payroll client recently praised how this setup passed their internal security audit effortlessly, protecting sensitive details like salary histories. You own the data infrastructure, giving full control over confidentiality.
What if we already use recruiting tools—can this integrate?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, or your ATS such as Lever. No more siloed data; our AI pulls from these sources, enriches with compliance filters, and pushes qualified leads back. For payroll firms, this means syncing candidate payroll experience directly into Workday without manual entry. We've reduced integration errors by 90% in past projects, creating a single source of truth. If conflicts arise, we customize APIs to resolve them, ensuring smooth operation from day one.
How quickly can we see ROI from this service?
Most clients achieve positive ROI in 1-3 months. By automating sourcing and screening, you cut agency fees—often $10K per hire—and save internal time valued at $50/hour. For a firm hiring 10 payroll roles yearly, that's $100K+ in savings. We track metrics like time-to-hire and cost-per-hire from launch, optimizing as needed. One financial services partner hit breakeven in six weeks after deploying during a hiring surge, with sustained gains in efficiency and compliance confidence.
