What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were glued to our phones on weekends hunting instructor leads for our high-energy hip-hop and wellness flow classes, losing members when subs flaked during peak holiday sessions. Now, the AI sources vibe-matching talent with yoga certifications—we onboarded three pros in just one month, saving $2,000 in agency fees and holding our retention at a solid 85% through uninterrupted programming."
Maria Gonzalez
Studio Director at Rhythm Flow Dance Studio in Los Angeles
"Hiring ballet instructors was chaos—resumes flooded in, but few aligned with our holistic, member-centric wellness ethos. Their AI screened for teaching philosophy and flexible scheduling around evening barre classes, dropping our time-to-hire from six weeks to ten days. Since then, class enrollments for our adaptive dance programs have surged 15%, thanks to a reliable team."
Alex Rivera
Owner of Elevate Dance Academy in Chicago
"Running a boutique studio, turnover during our summer wellness intensives was crushing— we'd burn cash on rushed hires. The automation managed sourcing for contemporary specialists and even coordinated initial video auditions via Zoom, letting me dive into choreography without stress. Last summer, we halved hiring costs to under $1,500 and locked in a 90% member renewal rate, transforming our operations."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI know what kind of dance instructors my studio needs?
We start by chatting about your specific requirements—maybe you need more lyrical experts for youth classes or high-energy Zumba pros for adults. The AI is custom-trained on your criteria, scanning sources like specialized dance forums and profiles. It even considers soft skills, like how well they'd engage members to boost retention. Over time, it learns from your feedback, getting smarter with each hire. Studios like yours typically see matches improve by 40% after the first month, saving you from irrelevant applications.
Will this integrate with my existing studio software?
Absolutely, we design it to plug right into tools like Mindbody, Jackrabbit, or even custom spreadsheets. No more manual entry—candidate data flows automatically into your system for scheduling trials or updating rosters. We've done this for dozens of wellness businesses, ensuring it's seamless and secure. The result? You save hours weekly, and everything stays in one place, reducing errors that could disrupt class flows or member experiences.
What's the timeline for seeing results in my hiring process?
From kickoff, we deliver a working prototype in 4-6 weeks, tailored to your workflow. Full launch follows with testing, and most studios report their first automated hires within 8 weeks. Early wins include cutting sourcing time by half right away. One dance academy we worked with filled a key spot in 12 days instead of 45, directly impacting their summer program retention. We track progress weekly to ensure you're hitting those efficiency gains fast.
How much does custom recruiting automation cost for a dance studio?
Costs vary based on your scale, but for a typical studio with 10-20 instructors, it's a one-time build fee starting around $15,000, plus minimal ongoing maintenance under $500/month—far less than agency fees or lost revenue from empty classes. The ROI kicks in quickly: expect to recoup in 3-6 months through time savings and 30-40% cost reductions. We provide a free audit to project exact numbers for your setup, focusing on your retention-driven goals.
Can this system help with retaining instructors long-term?
Yes, beyond hiring, it includes tools to track engagement, like automated check-ins on workload or class feedback, which helps spot burnout early—common in high-energy dance environments. By sourcing talent that fits your member-focused culture, turnover drops. Clients see retention rise 25% as teams feel valued. It's all custom, so we can add features like performance analytics tied to member satisfaction scores, ensuring your studio's vibe stays strong.
Is the AI secure for handling candidate information?
Security is non-negotiable—we build with enterprise-grade encryption and comply with GDPR and CCPA, especially for sensitive resume data. Your info stays in a owned system, not scattered across third-party apps. We've audited integrations for wellness clients to prevent breaches, and the AI only accesses what you approve. Peace of mind means you focus on classes, not worries, with full control and audit logs for compliance.
