What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend inquiries from international candidates seeking finance roles. Now, it handles initial screenings and qualification questions flawlessly, and we've placed 15 more mid-level positions in the last quarter without adding staff, improving our fill rate by 22%."
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, TalentForge Partners
"The integration with our Bullhorn ATS was seamless and took under two weeks. Our team used to spend evenings chasing leads on IT contract placements; the bot captures them instantly with automated follow-ups, and we've seen a 28% increase in client satisfaction surveys over six months, leading to two new enterprise contracts."
Mike Rodriguez
Operations Director, Global Executive Search Firm
"In executive recruitment, timing is everything. This chatbot kept our pipeline flowing during a major holiday push by answering queries on C-suite availability, securing three key executive placements that would have slipped away—each worth over $200K in fees. It's like having an extra recruiter who never sleeps and handles GDPR-compliant interactions effortlessly."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot integrate with our existing ATS system?
We start by mapping your specific ATS workflows, whether it's Bullhorn or another platform, then build secure, two-way API integrations. This allows the chatbot to pull job listings in real-time, update candidate statuses automatically, and even trigger actions like sending interview invites. In one recent project for a mid-sized agency, integration took just two weeks, cutting manual data entry by 70% and ensuring no leads fell through the cracks. Our approach avoids brittle connectors, delivering a robust link that scales with your hiring volume.
Can the chatbot handle sensitive candidate information securely?
Absolutely. Security is paramount in recruitment, so we embed enterprise-grade encryption and compliance features from the ground up, aligning with GDPR, CCPA, and EEOC standards. The bot logs all interactions without storing personal data unnecessarily, and we include audit trails for every query. For instance, a client in executive search used our system to manage confidential placements across borders, reporting zero compliance issues over a year of operation. We also conduct regular vulnerability assessments to keep your data fortress-solid.
What happens when a query is too complex for the bot?
Our design prioritizes intelligence without overreach. If a conversation exceeds the bot's trained scope—like nuanced salary negotiations—the system seamlessly escalates to your on-call recruiter, passing along the full context and history. This handoff feels natural, maintaining the relationship-focused service your clients expect. Agencies we've worked with see 85% of queries resolved autonomously, with escalations dropping response times from hours to minutes, ultimately boosting placement close rates by focusing human effort where it counts most.
How long does it take to see results from the chatbot?
Most agencies notice immediate wins in lead capture within the first week of deployment, with full ROI emerging in 4-6 weeks as the system learns your patterns. For example, one firm handling IT recruitment integrated our bot and captured 40% more after-hours leads in the first month, leading to five additional placements. We accelerate this with a quick training phase using your data, followed by A/B testing to optimize responses, ensuring rapid alignment with your goals without disrupting ongoing operations.
Is this chatbot customizable for our specific recruitment niche?
Yes, customization is our hallmark. We tailor the bot to your niche—whether tech, healthcare, or finance recruiting—by training it on your terminology, common pain points, and success stories. This goes beyond generic scripts; it understands phrases like 'contingency vs. retained search' and responds accordingly. A healthcare staffing agency we built for saw engagement soar because the bot referenced industry-specific compliance right away, resulting in 25% faster candidate conversions and stronger client trust.
What ongoing support does AIQ Labs provide after launch?
Post-launch, we offer comprehensive monitoring and optimization as part of our partnership model. This includes monthly performance reviews, where we analyze metrics like resolution rates and escalation frequency to refine the bot. Unlimited tweaks ensure it evolves with your business, such as adding new job types or seasonal campaigns. Clients appreciate our dedicated engineer access, which prevented downtime during a peak hiring season for one agency, maintaining 99.9% uptime and supporting a 15% revenue lift from consistent lead flow.
