What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we spent Fridays buried in resumes for our auto tech program, often missing out on NATE-certified techs. Now, the AI flags qualified mechanics with hands-on experience in under an hour, and we've hired three solid instructors in just two months. Enrollment's up 18% because classes aren't delayed, and our shop floor productivity has soared."
Maria Gonzalez
HR Director, Midwest Vocational Institute
"Hiring nursing instructors was a nightmare with our packed simulation labs and tight accreditation deadlines. Their custom system automated checks for NBCSN certifications and lab scheduling—saved us 12 hours a week. Last quarter, we filled three roles 30% faster, and student feedback on clinical training improved by 22%, helping us maintain our program accreditation."
James Patel
Dean of Allied Health Programs, Eastern Trade College
"We were losing expert welders to other schools due to our slow, manual processes that ignored AWS certifications. AIQ's automation sourced and screened applicants tailored to our OSHA safety standards and pipeline welding needs. We hired two certified experts in three weeks, not months, and our program completion rate jumped 15% while reducing safety incidents in the lab."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting automation handle vocational-specific skills?
We train the AI on your exact requirements, like years of field experience in plumbing or electrical work. It scans resumes for keywords, certifications, and even soft skills like student engagement. For instance, if your welding program needs AWS-certified pros, the system prioritizes them automatically. This isn't generic filtering—it's custom-built to align hires with scalable learning outcomes, saving you from irrelevant applicants and ensuring quick, quality matches. We've fine-tuned this for schools facing talent shortages in trades.
What kind of time savings can vocational schools expect?
Typically, admins save 15-20 hours weekly on manual tasks. Instead of sifting through dozens of resumes for culinary instructors, the AI pre-screens and ranks them in minutes. Scheduling interviews? Automated around workshop hours, cutting back-and-forth emails. One client reduced time-to-hire from 45 days to 18, freeing staff for curriculum development. ROI kicks in fast—expect 3x returns through lower turnover and better student retention from skilled hires.
Is the system customizable for our school's workflow?
Absolutely, we design it around your unique processes. For a school with multiple trade programs, we might integrate it with your enrollment software to flag staffing needs based on upcoming cohorts. No cookie-cutter approach—it's built from scratch, incorporating your preferences for certification verification or interview panels. This ensures it fits seamlessly, like a custom tool in your workshop, boosting efficiency without disrupting daily operations.
How do you ensure compliance with education hiring regulations?
Compliance is core to our builds. We embed checks for things like background screenings, equal opportunity standards, and vocational credential validations. The AI flags any issues early, generating audit-ready reports. For regulated fields like healthcare training, it adheres to HIPAA-like protocols. Our team, experienced in education, reviews every deployment to meet your local guidelines, giving you peace of mind while accelerating hires.
What happens after implementation—do we own the system?
Yes, full ownership transfers to you upon completion. Unlike subscription models, you control the code and data, with our support for updates. We provide training so your team manages it internally, scaling as needed for new programs. Post-launch, we offer optimization sessions based on your hiring data, ensuring long-term ROI. Schools love this independence—it ends the cycle of vendor dependencies and lets you adapt quickly to industry changes.
Can this automation scale for growing vocational programs?
Definitely designed for growth. As your enrollments expand, the system handles increased volume without hiccups, predicting needs like more automotive instructors during peak seasons. It's built on robust frameworks that integrate new campuses or programs effortlessly. Clients scaling from 200 to 500 students saw no performance dips, maintaining efficiency gains and supporting better student outcomes across the board.
