What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our recruiters were overwhelmed with manual follow-ups on engineering candidate pipelines post-initial screens, averaging 15 hours weekly. Now, the system automates tailored nudges via our ATS integration, reducing placement timelines from 45 days to 28 for tech roles. This has allowed us to prioritize exclusive client mandates, boosting Q2 placements by 22% and adding $180K in fees."

AIQ's automation flags unresponsive queries in under 4 hours, enabling same-day responses. Over six months, we've filled 15 additional controller and analyst roles, saved 10 hours weekly on admin, and improved our ATS utilization by 35%—transformative for our boutique team."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation integrate with our existing ATS like Bullhorn or Lever?
We start by mapping your current setup through a detailed discovery session. Our team then engineers deep, two-way API connections that pull candidate data, trigger follow-ups, and push updates back into your ATS without manual intervention. For instance, when a candidate advances in Bullhorn, the system automatically sends a personalized email and logs the interaction. This creates a seamless loop, reducing errors by 90% and ensuring your recruiters see everything in one place. Unlike superficial plugins, our custom builds handle complex logic like conditional branching based on candidate responses, all while maintaining data security compliant with GDPR and recruitment standards. Setup typically takes 4-6 weeks, with full ownership transferred to your team.
What kind of time savings can a recruitment agency expect from this service?
Based on our work with similar agencies, you'll reclaim 12-18 hours per week per recruiter from manual follow-up tasks. Consider a typical scenario: chasing 50 candidates weekly via email and calls eats up afternoons. Our AI handles initial outreach, reminders, and logging, freeing your team for strategic client calls. One partner agency saw a 35% drop in admin time within the first quarter, translating to $120K in annualized productivity gains at their scale. We measure this through pre- and post-implementation audits, focusing on metrics like response time and placement velocity. It's not just savings—it's redirecting effort to high-ROI activities like relationship building, which drives repeat business in professional services.
Is the follow-up automation personalized enough for client-facing recruitment?
Absolutely—personalization is core to our approach, tailored to your agency's consultative style. We train the AI on your past communications, candidate profiles, and client preferences to generate messages that feel human and relevant, not robotic. For example, it can reference specific interview feedback or role requirements pulled from your CRM. In tests with agencies, this boosted open rates by 45% compared to generic templates. We avoid one-size-fits-all; instead, it's custom-built for scenarios like nurturing passive candidates in niche sectors. Recruiters can review and tweak outputs via an intuitive dashboard, ensuring the personal touch that builds trust. Over time, the system learns from your edits, refining for even better relevance and higher engagement.
How do you ensure compliance and data security in candidate follow-ups?
Security is non-negotiable in recruitment, so we architect everything with enterprise-grade protocols from the start. Our systems use encrypted APIs and adhere to standards like GDPR, CCPA, and industry-specific regs for handling personal data. For instance, candidate info is anonymized where needed, and follow-ups include opt-out mechanisms with automatic suppression lists. We've built similar solutions for agencies dealing with sensitive executive searches, preventing breaches that could cost placements. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our custom code allows full audit trails for every interaction, giving you transparency and control. We also conduct regular vulnerability assessments post-launch, ensuring your automation remains robust as your agency scales without introducing risks.
Can this be scaled for agencies handling high-volume placements?
Yes, our solutions are designed for scalability, handling everything from boutique firms to those filling 200+ roles quarterly. We use advanced frameworks that process thousands of follow-ups daily without lag, drawing from our in-house platforms like RecoverlyAI, which manages high-stakes interactions at scale. For a growing agency, we build in modular components—start with core candidate nurturing, then expand to client reporting. One client scaled from 50 to 300 monthly placements seamlessly, with zero downtime. We monitor performance metrics like throughput and error rates, optimizing as your volume grows. This avoids the pitfalls of rigid subscriptions, giving you a flexible, owned system that supports expansion while maintaining the efficiency gains that boosted their ROI by 28%.
What if our agency's follow-up needs are unique to certain industries?
We specialize in customization, so uniqueness is our strength. During discovery, we dive into your niche—say, tech exec search or healthcare staffing—and tailor triggers accordingly, like automating compliance checks for regulated roles. The AI incorporates industry-specific language and timing, such as rapid follow-ups for urgent contract positions. A partner in finance recruitment used our system to personalize based on regulatory updates, improving candidate retention by 30%. It's not templated; we code it to your exact workflow, integrating data from specialized tools if needed. This ensures the automation enhances your expertise-driven edge, turning industry quirks into competitive advantages rather than hurdles.
