Fragmented client engagement data across ATS, HRIS, and CRM systems in talent acquisition pipelines
Inaccurate forecasting of talent placement success rates due to siloed data from candidate sourcing and interview scoring metrics
Delayed insights into consultant billable hours and utilization rates from timesheet and project management tools
Siloed feedback from Net Promoter Score surveys, 360-degree performance reviews, and client NPS in advisory projects
Manual tracking of diversity hiring metrics in EEO-1 reporting, exposing firms to OFCCP compliance risks
Overlooked patterns in consultant turnover rates affecting long-term advisory service continuity and client retention

What Clients Say
""Before AIQ Labs, we were drowning in Excel sheets trying to track our DEI initiatives for Fortune 500 clients using disparate HRIS and ATS data. Now, the dashboard pulls data from Workday and Lever automatically, and we've cut EEO-1 reporting time from two days to under an hour. Last quarter, it helped us spot a 12% dip in diverse hires early, turning a potential OFCCP compliance issue into a success story for our biggest manufacturing client.""
Sarah Mitchell
Managing Partner at TalentEdge HR Consultants, a mid-sized firm specializing in executive search
""Our firm was losing up to 15% of billable hours to manual utilization tracking across 20+ concurrent advisory projects. The custom KPI platform from AIQ Labs integrates timesheets from Deltek and project data from Asana seamlessly. In the first three months, we identified underutilized consultants in low-margin IT staffing engagements and reallocated them, increasing our overall revenue by 18% without hiring more staff.""
David Chen
Operations Director at Nexus HR Advisors, focusing on technology sector placements
""Forecasting client retention was always a shot in the dark with scattered NPS data from post-engagement surveys and 360 reviews. This dashboard changed that—real-time insights into engagement scores helped us intervene on pain points and retain a key automotive manufacturing client worth $500K annually in advisory fees. It's like having a co-pilot for our talent strategy services over multi-year contracts.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this KPI platform integrate with our existing HR tools?
We start by mapping your tech stack—common ones like BambooHR, Workday, or Lever—and build secure, two-way API connections. This creates a single pane of glass without disrupting workflows. For instance, timesheet data from your project tool flows automatically into utilization KPIs. Our process includes a full audit to ensure compatibility, and we've integrated with over 100 HR systems for consulting firms, reducing setup time to under two weeks. Post-launch, we provide ongoing support to handle any updates from your vendors.
What specific KPIs can we track for HR consulting?
Tailored to your practice, we focus on metrics like client retention rates, consultant billable utilization (aiming for 75-85% benchmarks), talent placement success (tracked at 90%+ for top firms), and DEI hiring ratios. We also include revenue forecasting per engagement and engagement scores from post-project surveys. Unlike generic tools, our dashboards visualize these with HR-specific context, such as correlating turnover trends to client industry sectors. This setup has helped firms like yours spot a 15% efficiency gain in resource planning within the first quarter.
Is the platform scalable as our firm grows?
Absolutely—built on enterprise-grade architecture, it handles growth from 20 to 200 consultants without performance lags. We use cloud-agnostic frameworks that scale horizontally, supporting unlimited dashboards and data ingestion rates up to 10,000 records daily. For HR firms expanding client bases, this means no re-platforming costs; one client scaled from 50 to 150 projects seamlessly, maintaining sub-second load times. Our approach includes built-in elasticity, so as your advisory services multiply, the system adapts proactively.
How secure is the data in these custom dashboards?
Security is paramount for HR data, so we implement SOC 2 compliance from day one, with end-to-end encryption and role-based access (e.g., partners see revenue KPIs, admins get full views). We conduct regular penetration testing and align with standards like GDPR for international clients. In practice, this has protected sensitive placement data for firms handling Fortune 500 HR audits. You retain full control over data residency, and our audits ensure zero breaches in over five years of deployments.
What’s the timeline for building and launching the dashboard?
Typically, we deliver a functional prototype in 4-6 weeks after discovery, with full deployment in 8-10 weeks. This includes integration testing and user training. For a mid-sized HR firm, we recently went live in seven weeks, starting with core KPIs like utilization tracking. Factors like data volume affect this, but our agile process allows iterations—clients review builds bi-weekly to stay on track. Post-launch, we offer 90 days of optimization to refine based on real usage.
Can we customize the dashboard for specific client advisory needs?
Yes, customization is core to our service. We design modules around your unique needs, such as tracking bespoke KPIs for executive coaching engagements or industry-specific turnover benchmarks. For example, one firm added widgets for remote work compliance metrics tailored to tech clients. Our senior consultants collaborate with you to define these, ensuring the UI reflects your branding and workflows. This results in dashboards that not only track but also inform strategic client advice, with 95% user satisfaction in our deployments.
