The "Lead Overload" Problem
Sifting through unqualified candidate resumes in high-volume tech and healthcare requisitions drowns recruiters in administrative drudgery, with agencies reporting up to 70% of review time wasted on non-viable profiles
Inconsistent lead evaluation across contingent and retained search models leads to mismatched placements, resulting in 25% higher client churn rates in professional services firms
Manual scoring ignores subtle behavioral signals, missing high-fit passive candidates
Fragmented data across ATS platforms like Bullhorn and sourcing tools like LinkedIn Recruiter creates blind spots in talent pipelines, particularly for passive candidates in competitive sectors like finance and engineering
Overreliance on generic scoring tools fails to account for niche industry requirements, such as compliance certifications in legal staffing or soft skills in executive search
Time lost chasing low-conversion leads during peak hiring seasons erodes profit margins, with professional services agencies facing 15-20% revenue dips from inefficient contract staffing cycles

With over a decade of experience architecting AI systems for client-relationship driven firms, we've empowered recruitment agencies to transform raw leads into revenue-generating placements.

Reclaim Recruiter Bandwidth
Reclaim Recruiter Bandwidth: Automate 60% of lead triage tasks for sourcing from platforms like Indeed and LinkedIn, freeing your team from spreadsheets and manual reviews of 500+ weekly profiles. Focus on high-touch client consultations for VMS-integrated projects instead, enhancing your expertise-driven reputation while scaling operations without adding headcount during seasonal surges.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's lead scoring, we were buried under 200 resumes a week for our software engineering requisitions, with only 15% leading to interviews. Now, it flags the top prospects automatically based on GitHub activity and skill alignments, and we've placed 12 more engineers in the last quarter than last year—our clients are thrilled with the faster turnaround from 60 to 40 days."
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Recruiter, TechTalent Partners
"Integrating this into our Bullhorn ATS was a game-changer for our healthcare staffing division. It scores based on our niche, catching nuances like RN certification matches and HIPAA compliance that generic tools miss. Cut our rejection follow-ups in half, and billable hours are up 18% since implementation three months ago, allowing us to handle 30% more requisitions."
Michael Ruiz
Operations Director, MedMatch Agency
"We handle executive search for Fortune 500 firms, so precision matters. AIQ built a system that predicts cultural fit using our past placement data on leadership competencies—it's like having an extra analyst on the team. Landed a C-suite role in under 30 days that would've taken twice as long before, securing a $150K placement fee ahead of schedule."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring differ from built-in ATS features?
While ATS platforms offer basic filters, our custom AI goes deeper by analyzing predictive patterns from your unique data—like past placement success rates and candidate engagement signals. For recruitment agencies, this means scoring not just on keywords but on fit probability, reducing false positives by 40%. We build it to integrate natively, enhancing your existing setup without replacing it. Over six months, agencies see a 25% uplift in placement efficiency, as the model learns from your workflows to prioritize leads that align with client expectations and your billable targets.
What data do you need to build the scoring model?
We start with your anonymized historical data: past candidate profiles, placement outcomes, sourcing sources, and interaction logs from your ATS or CRM. No sensitive personal info is required upfront; we focus on patterns like resume keywords, response rates, and hire conversions. For a typical agency, this includes 6-12 months of data to train the model accurately. Our process ensures compliance, and we handle data securely in your owned system. This tailored approach captures your agency's nuances, such as prioritizing tech skills for IT roles, delivering scores that feel intuitive from launch.
How long does implementation take for recruitment agencies?
From initial consultation to live deployment, expect 4-6 weeks for most agencies. Week one involves discovery and data mapping to understand your lead flow. The next two weeks focus on model building and testing against your criteria. Integration and training follow in weeks four to six, ensuring seamless fit with tools like LinkedIn Recruiter or your ATS. Larger agencies with complex pipelines may need 8 weeks, but we prioritize quick wins—like basic scoring in two weeks—to show value early. Post-launch, we monitor and refine for optimal performance.
Can the system handle passive candidate sourcing?
Absolutely. Our AI excels at scoring passive leads by integrating data from LinkedIn, job boards, and your internal databases. It evaluates subtle signals like profile views or network connections alongside demographic fits, predicting responsiveness to outreach. For recruitment firms, this uncovers hidden talent pools, boosting your pipeline by 30% in benchmarks. The model adapts to your sourcing strategy, whether executive search or volume hiring, and automates enrichment to flag high-potential passives ready for personalized engagement, saving hours on manual prospecting.
What support do you provide after deployment?
We offer comprehensive post-deployment support, including weekly check-ins for the first month to fine-tune scores based on real placements. Our engineers provide unlimited revisions to adapt to changing client needs, like new industry verticals. Access to a dedicated portal for performance analytics ensures transparency, and we train your team via hands-on sessions. Unlike subscription models, this is part of your owned system—no extra fees. Agencies report sustained 20% efficiency gains year-over-year, with our proactive optimizations keeping the AI ahead of market shifts in talent acquisition.
Is this solution scalable for growing agencies?
Yes, designed for agencies scaling from 10 to 500 recruiters. The architecture uses robust frameworks to handle surging lead volumes during peak seasons without slowdowns—processing 50,000+ candidates monthly if needed. As you grow, we expand features like multi-office scoring or international candidate handling. Built for ownership, it avoids the limits of no-code tools, ensuring your investment scales with revenue. Clients who've doubled headcount tell us it maintained 95% uptime and improved scoring accuracy, supporting their expansion into new markets seamlessly.
