Our AI handles sourcing from local trade networks and initial screening for OSHA compliance, letting you focus on client relationships and on-site quality control. Landscapers report filling irrigation specialist roles in 3-5 days, not weeks, during busy summer mulch and sod installation seasons, preventing project delays.

With precise skill alignments, turnover drops 25% for roles like HVAC technicians, saving $5,000-$10,000 annually in retraining. One roofing client cut seasonal hiring expenses from $12K to $4K, reinvesting in safety harnesses and ladder equipment upgrades.
Boost Efficiency for Seasonal Demands

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we spent March scrambling for 10 new crew members with backhoe operation experience, reviewing over 200 resumes by hand amid our busy sod laying season. Now, their system sources locals from trade associations and schedules interviews automatically around our site visits. We hired everyone in two weeks, and our spring landscaping projects started on time without overtime chaos or delayed client walkthroughs."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, GreenScape Landscaping Services
"Hiring for certified arborists in tree trimming was a nightmare—too many flakes without proper chainsaw safety training. The custom AI they built filters for reliability based on our past hires' performance data and even checks references via integrations with local union databases. Saved us $8,000 in agency fees last fall for leaf removal crews, and our retention is up 30% because matches are spot-on for high-risk jobs."
Sarah Chen
Owner, Evergreen Tree and Landscape Pros
"As a small outfit handling residential cleanouts, we couldn't afford full-time HR. AIQ's automation handled screening for our fall gutter and debris removal team, focusing on hires with forklift certifications and clean driving records. Went from 30% no-shows to under 5% in just one season, and I finally have time to bid on bigger commercial landscaping contracts without missing deadlines."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this AI handle the unique challenges of seasonal hiring in landscaping?
Our custom system is designed specifically for the ebb and flow of landscaping seasons. It uses predictive models trained on historical data from your business—like past spring surges or fall cleanups—to forecast hiring needs weeks in advance. For instance, it prioritizes candidates with experience in high-volume tasks such as mulching or leaf removal, scanning sources like local trade associations. This reduces frantic last-minute searches, saving you from overpaying temps. We've seen clients cut time-to-hire by 40% during peaks, ensuring crews are ready without disrupting client schedules. It's all built to integrate with your tools, like scheduling apps, for a smooth fit.
What makes your recruiting automation different from generic job board software?
Unlike off-the-shelf platforms that treat all industries the same, our solution is purpose-built for home services like landscaping. We avoid generic filters by incorporating specifics, such as screening for physical fitness requirements or familiarity with local plant hardiness zones. It's a full custom build—no templates—integrating directly with your CRM to pull in client project data for better matches. This means you're not just posting ads; you're getting proactive sourcing from niche channels, like irrigation specialist forums. Clients report 25% higher quality hires, with less turnover because the AI learns from your successful past recruits, like reliable sod installers.
How much time and money can I expect to save with this system?
Expect to save 15-20 hours per week on recruiting tasks alone, based on our benchmarks with similar landscaping firms. That's time your operations manager can redirect to site visits or client bids instead of resume piles. Cost-wise, the ROI hits 300% in the first year by slashing agency fees—often 50% reductions—and minimizing no-shows that lead to project delays. For a mid-sized operation hiring 20 seasonal workers, this translates to $10K-$15K in annual savings. We quantify this during your consultation, tailoring projections to your workflow, and provide dashboards to track gains like faster fill rates for urgent tree-trimming roles.
Is the system secure for handling candidate data in a regulated industry?
Absolutely, security is non-negotiable in home services where you're dealing with local labor laws and sensitive info. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and compliance features, adhering to standards like GDPR and U.S. labor regs for background checks. Your data stays owned by you—no third-party access like with subscription tools. For landscaping, this includes secure handling of certifications, such as pesticide licenses, with audit trails for every screening step. Our systems have powered secure hires for 50+ firms without a single breach, and we include regular updates to counter evolving threats, ensuring your hiring process is as protected as your client's properties.
Can this be integrated with my existing landscaping management software?
Yes, integration is at the core of what we do. We connect our AI recruiting engine to popular tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or even custom CRMs, creating a seamless flow where new hires auto-populate into your scheduling system. For example, once a candidate is screened for hardscaping skills, their details sync directly, ready for assignment to upcoming patio installs. No more manual data entry that causes errors during busy seasons. Our two-way APIs ensure real-time updates, like pulling project demands to prioritize urgent roles. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, with full support, and we've integrated with over 30 home services platforms, making your workflow feel like one cohesive operation.
What if my business grows—will this scale for larger crews?
Our solutions are engineered for scalability, growing with your landscaping empire from 10 to 100+ crew members. Unlike rigid no-code tools, our custom code handles increased volume without performance dips—think processing 500+ applications during a major expansion without missing a beat. We build in flexibility, like modular AI models that adapt to new specialties, such as adding landscape architecture hires. Clients who've doubled in size report the system scales effortlessly, maintaining 40% time savings even as hiring ramps up. We include quarterly reviews to optimize for growth, ensuring it supports ambitions like entering commercial contracts while keeping costs predictable.
