What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Bottom Line
Reclaim 20+ Hours Weekly on Core Operations
Reclaim 20+ Hours Weekly on Core Operations Like Emergency HVAC Repairs: Manual recruiting steals time from bidding jobs or servicing clients. Our AI handles sourcing and screening, freeing your team for what matters—delivering results. Clients report a 60% productivity boost, with one firm redirecting those hours to secure three extra service contracts monthly, generating $12,000 in additional revenue.
Achieve 3x ROI in Under 6 Months
Achieve 3x ROI in Under 6 Months by Reducing Per-Hire Costs from $4,000 to $800: Hiring costs in home services average $4,000 per role due to background checks and licensing verifications. We cut that by automating 80% of the process, delivering payback through faster fills and lower turnover. Expect $50,000+ annual savings for a 10-person team, based on industry benchmarks from firms like yours, including avoided costs for recertification training.

This means crews stay full during peak seasons like summer AC installs, boosting revenue without the chaos of last-minute scrambles.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we spent Fridays buried in Indeed applications for new irrigation techs—half weren't even local or certified in backflow prevention. Their system screened 200 resumes in a day, verified credentials, and lined up interviews for five solid candidates with ISA certification. Hired two within a week, and our spring landscape installs didn't miss a beat, completing 15 jobs on schedule."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, GreenLeaf Landscape Services Inc.
"Turnover was killing us; we'd train roofers only for them to bail after a month due to unverified fall protection experience. The AI flagged those mismatches early by cross-checking OSHA 10 cards, and now our retention's up 40%. Saved us about $15K in rehiring and retraining last quarter alone, keeping our shingle crews steady through hurricane season."
Sarah Chen
HR Lead, Summit Roofing & Exteriors LLC
"As a small HVAC outfit, scheduling interviews around emergency furnace calls was a nightmare. AIQ's automation synced everything to our Google Calendar, auto-filtering for EPA-certified techs—no more no-shows from unqualified applicants. We filled three spots in February, right when winter demand spiked, without overtime chaos or delaying 20+ client service visits."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI ensure candidates fit our local home services needs?
We customize the AI to prioritize geographic proximity and regional skills, like familiarity with local building codes. By training on your past successful hires' data—such as zip codes and project types—it filters out distant applicants automatically. For a plumbing firm in Texas, this cut irrelevant submissions by 65%, focusing only on certified pros within 50 miles. The system integrates with your CRM to cross-reference service area needs, ensuring every shortlist aligns with your operational footprint. This isn't generic; it's built around your exact routes and client base.
What kind of time savings can we expect in the first month?
Right out of the gate, expect 15-20 hours saved weekly on sourcing and screening. Manual resume reviews for 50 applicants can take 10 hours; our AI processes them in under 30 minutes, ranking by fit. One landscaping client went from 4-hour Friday sessions to automated alerts, reclaiming time for bids. We benchmark against home services averages—where HR spends 25% of time on hiring—and optimize for your volume, delivering ROI through faster crew assembly without added headcount.
Is this system compliant with industry regulations for hiring tradespeople?
Absolutely. We embed compliance checks for certifications, EEOC guidelines, and background verifications directly into the workflow. For electricians or roofers, the AI flags unlicensed candidates early, integrating with state databases for real-time validation. Unlike basic tools, our custom build logs all actions for audits, reducing liability. A client in HVAC reported zero compliance issues post-implementation, saving hours on manual verifications and avoiding fines that plague manual processes in regulated trades.
How do we integrate this with our existing scheduling software?
Seamless integration is core to our approach. We connect the AI directly to tools like Housecall Pro or ServiceTitan via secure APIs, syncing candidate availability with your field calendars. This prevents scheduling clashes—say, interviewing a candidate during a client install. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, with testing to ensure data flows bidirectionally. For a general contracting firm, this meant interview slots auto-booked around job sites, cutting no-shows by 80% and streamlining the path from application to crew assignment.
Can the AI handle seasonal hiring surges for home services?
Yes, our scalable design ramps up effortlessly for peaks like summer landscaping rushes. The AI dynamically adjusts sourcing from multiple channels, prioritizing high-volume scans without performance dips. We include load-balancing features to process 500+ resumes daily if needed. A client facing spring demand spikes saw time-to-hire drop from 45 to 14 days, filling 15 roles without overwhelming their team. Post-launch, we monitor and tweak for your patterns, ensuring efficiency year-round.
What's the cost structure for this custom recruiting automation?
We price based on your business size and complexity—typically a one-time build fee of $15K-$40K for SMBs, plus minimal ongoing maintenance at $500/month. This replaces $2K+ in annual HR tool subscriptions, yielding quick ROI. For a 20-person home services firm, payback hits in 4-6 months via saved hiring costs. No hidden fees; we provide a detailed proposal after discovery, tailored to your workflow without upselling unrelated services.
