What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains That Transform Your Operations
Slash Weekly Recruitment Time by 75%
Slash Weekly Recruitment Time by 75%: Plumbing teams lose precious hours posting ads on sites like Indeed and chasing unqualified leads for pipefitting roles. Our automation handles sourcing certified candidates and initial outreach via SMS alerts, freeing you to focus on client jobs like emergency leak repairs. Expect to save 15 hours per week—time better spent unclogging main lines or expanding into HVAC cross-training. Industry benchmarks from the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association show this efficiency boost delivers a 4x ROI within six months by reducing downtime on service calls.
Accelerate Time-to-Hire by 40%
Accelerate Time-to-Hire by 40%: In the fast-paced world of plumbing emergencies, delays mean lost revenue from unfilled shifts during peak flood seasons. Our custom AI screens resumes for essential skills like PEX piping installation and blueprint interpretation in seconds, prioritizing top matches with proven leak detection experience. Clients report filling journeyman roles in under two weeks, compared to the industry average of five, ensuring 24/7 response teams stay staffed for residential calls.
Cut Hiring Costs by 30% with Precise Matching
Cut Hiring Costs by 30% with Precise Matching: Manual recruiting drains budgets on bad fits who quit after one high-volume job like a multi-unit apartment flooding. We build predictive models analyzing past hires' success in scenarios such as backflow prevention testing under tight deadlines, reducing turnover by 25%. Plumbing firms using our systems save $4,000 per role on average, with 25% fewer agency fees for sourcing drain specialists. It's like upgrading from a corroded galvanized pipe to a durable CPVC system—reliable, leak-proof, and cost-effective for long-term operations.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we wasted Fridays sifting through 50+ resumes for a journeyman plumber spot, and half couldn't distinguish PVC Schedule 40 from copper Type L. Now, the system auto-flags certified candidates with soldering certifications, and we hired two reliable techs in just 10 days last winter—cutting overtime on burst pipe jobs by 50% and keeping our 24-hour emergency line staffed."
Mike Reynolds
Operations Manager, Reynolds Plumbing & Heating, serving 5,000+ residential clients in the Midwest
"Hiring during winter freeze-ups was chaos—endless no-shows from candidates lacking experience with frozen main line thawing. Their automation verified state plumbing licenses and EPA certifications upfront, then scheduled virtual interviews around our on-call rotations. We filled three emergency response roles in under a week, paying for the system with savings from just one season's avoided overtime on slab leak repairs."
Sarah Lopez
Owner, Lopez Plumbing Pros, specializing in eco-friendly residential water systems in California
"I was doubtful about AI handling hands-on plumbing hires, but this platform quickly adapted to our needs—from sourcing drain snake operators to backflow assembly testers. It saved us 12 hours weekly on recruitment, and the latest apprentice we onboarded is already solo-handling fixture replacements in tight crawlspaces. No more 30% agency markups eroding our profits on sewer scope jobs."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the unique skills needed for plumbing jobs?
Our custom AI is trained on plumbing-specific criteria, scanning for expertise in areas like sewer line repairs, fixture installations, and emergency leak handling. It parses resumes for keywords and verifies against databases for certifications, ensuring candidates match your workflow. For instance, it prioritizes those with experience in high-pressure diagnostics, reducing mismatches. We've helped firms cut screening time by 80%, focusing only on qualified plumbers who can hit the ground running. Integration with your tools means it learns from past hires, refining matches over time for even better results.
What kind of time savings can a small plumbing business expect?
Small teams typically save 15-20 hours weekly by automating sourcing, screening, and scheduling. Instead of manual job postings and phone tags, the AI handles initial outreach and filters for skills like soldering or blueprint reading. One client, a 20-person operation, went from 25 hours on recruiting to just 3, redirecting efforts to client jobs. This translates to a 300% ROI in months, with benchmarks showing 40% faster hires during peak seasons. It's built to scale with your business, so savings grow as you add more vans.
Is the system secure for handling candidate personal data?
Absolutely— we use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with regulations like GDPR and CCPA, crucial for licensed trades. Candidate info, including licenses and backgrounds, is stored securely with role-based access, preventing unauthorized views. Unlike generic platforms, our custom builds include audit trails for every interaction, ensuring plumbing firms meet industry standards without worry. We've audited systems for clients in regulated services, delivering peace of mind alongside efficiency.
How customizable is it to our existing hiring process?
Fully tailored—we map your current workflow, from sourcing apprentices to evaluating master plumbers, and build the AI around it. If you use specific software for dispatching or prefer local trade school networks, we integrate directly. No cookie-cutter setups; for example, one firm needed emphasis on HVAC crossover skills, so we customized the screening algorithms accordingly. The result is a seamless fit that enhances, not disrupts, your operations, with setup taking just 4-6 weeks.
What happens after implementation—do we get ongoing support?
Yes, we provide comprehensive support including initial training, monthly check-ins, and performance optimizations. The AI evolves with your data, improving match accuracy for plumbing scenarios like seasonal floods. If hiring needs shift—say, more focus on green plumbing tech—we tweak it on the fly. Clients receive a dedicated engineer for the first year, ensuring 99% uptime and sustained ROI. This builder mindset means you're not left hanging; we treat it as your owned asset.
Can this work for seasonal hiring spikes in plumbing?
Definitely designed for it. Our system scales effortlessly to handle surges, like post-rainy season rushes for drain work, sourcing 50+ candidates weekly without manual effort. It predicts needs based on historical data, automating everything from ads to interviews. A mid-sized firm used it to fill 15 spots in two weeks during a busy quarter, saving thousands in temp agency fees. Built on robust frameworks, it maintains speed and accuracy even at peak load.
