What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were buried in resumes every April, hiring whoever showed up first amid the spring chlorine rush. Now, the system flags techs with real experience in variable-speed pumps and CPO certification, and we've cut our hiring time in half—from 8 weeks to 4. Last summer, we onboarded five solid hires without missing a single pool opening or facing overtime spikes."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, ClearWater Pools & Spas, Phoenix, AZ
"As a small outfit in Florida, seasonal rushes meant I was dispatching routes for 25 pools daily and screening candidates at 2 AM during hurricane recovery periods. Their custom automation integrated with our Jobber software seamlessly—saved me 12 hours a week, and our new techs actually know how to handle saltwater systems and acid washes without constant oversight, reducing callbacks by 25%."
Sarah Chen
Owner, AquaGuard Pool Services, Miami, FL
"We struggled with high turnover because hires couldn't keep up with commercial pool regulations like those from the Model Aquatic Health Code. AIQ built us a matcher that prioritizes certified pros in chlorine dosing and backflow prevention, and retention jumped from 60% to 85% in six months—saving us $15K in retraining and ensuring compliance during health inspections."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle our seasonal hiring spikes in pool services?
Pool companies face intense rushes from May to August, when demand for techs skyrockets. Our custom AI is built to scale effortlessly, ramping up sourcing from specialized channels like pool technician forums and certification databases. It prioritizes candidates with immediate availability for tasks like acid washing or liner repairs, processing hundreds of applications in hours what would take days manually. We've seen clients reduce peak hiring time by 65%, ensuring your team is staffed before the heat hits. Plus, it's tailored to your workflow, integrating with tools like Housecall Pro to flag conflicts with existing routes.
What makes your recruiting AI specific to pool maintenance skills?
Generic tools miss the mark on expertise like pH balancing or variable-speed pump troubleshooting. We train our AI on pool industry datasets, including NCCP certifications and common service challenges. It scans for keywords and experience in areas like algae control and leak detection, ranking candidates by fit to your job specs. For instance, it can differentiate between residential spa techs and commercial pool experts. This precision has helped clients like yours achieve 80% better match rates, cutting training time and boosting on-job performance from day one.
How much time and money can we really save with this system?
In home services, manual recruiting often eats 20 hours weekly per manager, costing $1,000+ in lost productivity during peaks. Our automation trims that to 5 hours, with benchmarks showing 75% time savings and a 200% ROI in year one through faster hires and lower turnover. For a mid-sized pool firm, that's $40K annually in reduced overtime and temp fees. We quantify this upfront via a free audit of your current process, then build ROI trackers into the dashboard so you see gains in real-time, like hires filling roles 3 weeks quicker.
Is the system secure for handling candidate and company data?
Absolutely—pool services deal with sensitive client-site info alongside hiring data, so we prioritize security. Built on enterprise frameworks with end-to-end encryption, it complies with GDPR and CCPA standards, plus home services-specific regs like background check protocols. Unlike no-code platforms prone to breaches, our custom code includes role-based access, so only authorized team members see resumes. We've audited systems for 100+ SMBs, ensuring zero data leaks, and provide ongoing monitoring to protect your hiring pipeline as robustly as your pool chemical inventories.
Can we integrate this with our existing pool service software?
Yes, integration is at our core—we replace disconnected tools with a unified system. Whether you use ServiceTitan, Jobber, or QuickBooks for invoicing routes, our AI plugs in via secure APIs for two-way data sync. For example, it pulls open positions from your scheduler and pushes new hires directly into payroll. No more manual entry that leads to errors during busy seasons. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, with minimal disruption, and we've handled complex merges for pool firms juggling multiple apps, resulting in 90% fewer data silos.
What if our hiring needs change after launch?
Pool businesses evolve—maybe expanding to hot tub services or new regions. Our solution is designed for adaptability; we include quarterly reviews to tweak the AI based on feedback, like adding filters for spa heater expertise. Unlike rigid subscriptions, you own the system, so updates are cost-effective and don't require vendor lock-in. Clients report 25% efficiency gains post-optimization, and our engineering team ensures it scales without downtime, keeping your recruiting as reliable as your salt chlorinator systems.
