The "Talent Drought" Problem
Manual sourcing from scattered job boards like Indeed and Craigslist eats into your quoting time for flooring estimates
Unqualified applicants lacking skills like LVT installation flood your inbox, delaying real crew hires for on-site jobs
Scheduling interviews clashes with on-site hardwood installs and client visits for kitchen remodels
High turnover from poor skill matches in carpet stretching or tile grouting leads to repeated training costs and project delays
Seasonal rushes like summer decking projects overwhelm your small HR bandwidth, missing peak job bids for residential builds
Tracking applicant progress via emails and calls disrupts job site focus during critical subfloor leveling tasks

By integrating with your payroll software like QuickBooks and job tracking apps like Jobber, it predicts staffing needs for busy seasons like holiday kitchen installs, reducing turnover by 30%.

What Clients Say
"We used to spend Fridays just sorting through carpenter resumes that didn't fit our laminate and engineered wood focus, often missing weekend install slots. After AIQ Labs set this up six months ago, we hired two solid installers in three weeks – no more lost bids during our spring rush for home renovations. It's like having an extra recruiter who never sleeps, letting us focus on client demos."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Precision Floors Inc.
"Hiring for porcelain tile experts was chaos with our small team juggling showroom visits. The AI screened out the noise from generic laborers and scheduled interviews around our job sites last quarter. Saved us about 12 hours a week on admin, and our new guy started producing right away on grout work – closed three big kitchen backsplash jobs 20% faster than ever."
Sarah Kline
Owner, Urban Tile Solutions
"Turnover killed us last year with vinyl plank crews quitting mid-season right before holiday peaks. This system matches skills like click-lock installation perfectly now, and integration with our Housecall Pro scheduling app means no conflicts with site visits. Down to one bad hire in six months, saving us $8,000 in retraining and boosting our margins on 50+ residential floors."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI know what makes a good flooring installer?
We start by mapping your ideal candidate profile – think experience with bamboo engineered wood or commercial carpet tiles. The AI is trained on your past hires' data, plus industry benchmarks from sources like the National Wood Flooring Association. It scans resumes for keywords, verifies certifications, and even assesses soft skills like reliability through application patterns. Over time, it learns from your feedback, hitting 90% match accuracy within the first month. This isn't generic screening; it's tuned to the precision your trade demands, saving you from the trial-and-error of manual reviews.
Will this integrate with my existing scheduling software?
Absolutely. We custom-build integrations with tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or even custom spreadsheets used by many flooring shops. The system pulls your install calendar to suggest interview slots that avoid conflicts, like overlapping a kitchen refloor. Data flows two-ways: new hires auto-populate in your roster, and applicant notes sync back. No more double-entry that wastes time. We've done this for 50+ contractors, ensuring zero disruptions to your daily rhythm of measurements and client walkthroughs.
What's the setup time for this recruiting automation?
From kickoff to launch, it's typically 4-6 weeks, depending on your workflow complexity. Week one is discovery: we audit your current process, like how you source from union halls. Then 2-3 weeks for building the AI core, testing with sample resumes from your last hiring cycle. Final week is integration and training your team – simple dashboards mean even non-tech foremen can use it. Post-launch, we monitor for a month to optimize, so you're not left hanging during busy seasons. It's faster than hiring an agency recruiter, with lasting results.
How much does it cost, and what's the ROI for flooring businesses?
Our custom builds start at $15,000 for a core system, scaling based on features like voice integration. But the ROI hits quick: contractors save $8,000-$12,000 yearly per role by cutting agency fees and overtime. With 15 hours weekly reclaimed, that's like adding a part-time admin without the salary. One client filled five installer spots in Q1, boosting revenue by $150,000 from faster project turns. We provide a detailed projection during consultation, tied to your volume – often paying for itself in 3-6 months through efficiency alone.
Can it handle seasonal hiring spikes for summer installs?
Yes, it's designed for the ebb and flow of home services. The AI forecasts needs by analyzing your historical data – say, 20% crew bump for June-July based on past laminate booms. It ramps up sourcing automatically, prioritizing local talent to minimize travel costs. During peaks, it handles 5x the volume without extra input, scheduling group interviews to fit your site availability. We've helped contractors like you avoid turning down jobs due to staffing gaps, ensuring you capitalize on every warm lead without burnout.
Is the data secure for sensitive applicant info?
Security is non-negotiable in recruiting. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with GDPR and CCPA, storing data in SOC 2-certified clouds. Applicant details like SSNs or certs are access-controlled, with audit logs for every interaction. For flooring firms, this means safe handling of trade license verifications without breach risks. Unlike public job boards, our system is yours – no third-party sharing. We've audited integrations to prevent leaks, giving you peace of mind while focusing on client trust and flawless finishes.
