What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Agency's Bottom Line
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Per Week
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Per Week: Manual invoicing for temp placements steals time from high-value tasks like client calls and candidate interviews. Our custom AI integrates with your ATS to handle data extraction from timesheets and contracts, saving recruiters an average of 3 hours daily on 50+ weekly placements. Agencies report a 25% productivity boost, translating to 10-15 more placements closed quarterly and stronger client relationships in competitive talent markets.
Accelerate ROI to 300% in Year One
Accelerate ROI to 300% in Year One: With industry benchmarks showing recruitment firms lose 10-15% of revenue to billing errors in contingency and temp staffing, our solution ensures 99% accuracy via automated VMS reconciliation. Expect payback within 4 months through reduced admin costs and faster collections on placement fees—firms we've partnered with see cash flow improvements of $50K+ annually by minimizing delays in fee recovery from 30-day terms to under 15 days.
Boost Efficiency Without Workflow Disruption
Boost Efficiency Without Workflow Disruption: Like a seasoned account manager who never sleeps, our AI anticipates invoice needs based on placement milestones in your ATS, such as hire dates and probation periods. This eliminates bottlenecks in multi-client approvals, cutting times from 5-7 days to under 4 hours. Recruitment teams gain a 40% efficiency lift, allowing focus on strategic growth like expanding into niche IT staffing amid talent shortages.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team wasted Fridays reconciling timesheets for 200 temp healthcare placements across multiple VMS platforms—tedious and prone to overtime calculation errors. Now, the custom automation pulls data from Bullhorn overnight, generates compliant invoices by 9 AM, and we've cut client disputes by 60% while recovering an extra $8K in missed billings quarterly. It's like adding an extra recruiter without the headcount or training costs."
Sarah Jenkins
Operations Director, TalentForge Partners (Specializing in Temp Healthcare Staffing)
"In our contingency recruitment model for engineering roles, tracking fees across 50 clients with exclusive search agreements was pure chaos. Their AI system integrated seamlessly with QuickBooks and our ATS, flagging a $12K underbill on a senior hire last quarter. Processing time dropped from 12 hours to just 2 per week, and our cash flow stabilized enough to hire two additional sourcers and expand into Midwest markets."
Mike Rivera
Finance Lead, Apex Recruiters (Contingency Firm for Engineering Talent)
"We handle executive searches in finance with complex tiered fee structures up to 30% of first-year salary, and manual invoicing was eroding our 25% margins. AIQ's tailored workflow automated multi-level approvals and FLSA compliance checks—saved us 18 hours weekly on 15 active searches. Last year, we invoiced 30% faster, directly boosting our close rate on $200K+ placements from 60% to 85%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle variable fee structures in recruitment?
Our custom AI is designed to parse complex fee agreements, whether fixed, percentage-based on salary, or milestone-driven for contract roles. It extracts terms from your CRM or contracts, calculates accurately in real-time, and flags any variances for review. For instance, in permanent placements, it adjusts for bonuses or guarantees; in temp staffing, it reconciles hourly rates against timesheets. This precision has helped agencies reduce billing errors by 90%, ensuring compliance and client satisfaction without manual overrides. Implementation starts with mapping your specific structures, so it's not a generic calculator but a tailored engine built for your workflow.
What integrations are supported for recruitment tools?
We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with popular ATS and CRM systems used by recruitment agencies, including Bullhorn, Salesforce, Workable, and Zoho Recruit. Beyond that, we connect to accounting platforms like QuickBooks, Xero, or Sage for seamless payment syncing. The process involves API mapping to pull placement details, candidate data, and client info automatically—no more copy-pasting. For agencies with custom fields, like skill-based billing, we build bespoke connectors. This unified setup creates a single source of truth, cutting data entry time by 80% and preventing silos that disrupt client relationships.
How long does it take to see ROI from this solution?
Most recruitment agencies experience payback within 3-6 months, with full ROI hitting 300% by year-end. This comes from slashing manual processing—saving 15+ hours weekly at $50-100/hour recruiter rates—and accelerating collections by 25%, which improves cash flow for hiring more talent sourcers. We've tracked partners who recovered implementation costs through avoided errors alone, like a $20K overage caught pre-invoice. Factors like your volume (e.g., 100+ placements quarterly) speed this up. We provide post-launch metrics to quantify gains, ensuring transparency and adjustments for maximum impact.
Is the system compliant with recruitment regulations?
Absolutely—compliance is core to our builds, especially for data-sensitive industries like recruitment. We incorporate GDPR, CCPA, and sector-specific rules for handling candidate and client info, with encrypted data flows and audit trails for every invoice action. AI validation checks for issues like equal pay disclosures in billing. For temp agencies, it ensures adherence to labor laws on timesheet accuracy. Our team, with experience in regulated professional services, customizes safeguards during design. Clients report zero compliance incidents post-implementation, giving peace of mind amid rising scrutiny on talent data handling.
Can this scale if my agency grows or acquires others?
Yes, our architecture is enterprise-grade and built to scale without rework. Starting from your current setup (say, 50 placements monthly), it handles spikes to 500+ via cloud-based processing and modular design. When agencies merge, we integrate disparate systems—merging ATS data and legacy invoices—seamlessly. Features like automated data normalization prevent disruptions during growth phases. Partners who've doubled headcount tell us the system adapted effortlessly, maintaining 99% uptime and supporting expanded client portfolios without added costs. It's ownership-focused, so you control scaling, not a vendor's limits.
What if we already use invoicing software—will this replace it?
We don't replace; we enhance. If you're on tools like FreshBooks or Invoice2go, our AI layers on top, automating data feeds and workflows to supercharge them. For recruitment specifics, like pulling from ATS, it fills gaps generic software misses—e.g., auto-generating from placement milestones. This avoids rip-and-replace costs, integrating via APIs for a hybrid setup. Agencies often phase out redundancies over time as our unified system proves superior. The result? 40% faster cycles without disrupting existing approvals or reports, tailored to your client-relationship model.
