What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains That Fuel Your Agency's Growth
Reclaim 12+ Hours Weekly for Creative Work
Reclaim 12+ Hours Weekly for Creative Work: Manual recruiting devours time better spent on client pitches, design iterations, and portfolio reviews. Our AI handles sourcing and initial outreach for roles like graphic designers and copywriters, saving agencies an industry-benchmarked 12 hours per week per recruiter. This translates to 600+ hours annually redirected to revenue-generating tasks, boosting productivity by 35% and allowing your team to take on 20% more retainer-based projects without added headcount, based on benchmarks from creative agencies like those in the AIGA network.
Achieve 4x ROI Through Faster, Smarter Hires
Achieve 4x ROI Through Faster, Smarter Hires: Generic tools miss the nuance of creative talent needs, such as Adobe Suite proficiency or brand storytelling skills, leading to costly mismatches. Our custom AI screens for these plus cultural fit via portfolio analysis, reducing time-to-hire from 45 days to 11 for mid-level creatives. Clients report a 4x ROI in the first year, with hiring costs dropping 40% and retention rates climbing to 85% within six months, directly enhancing client deliverable quality and repeat business rates.
Streamline Scheduling to Protect Project Deadlines
Streamline Scheduling to Protect Project Deadlines: Interview coordination often derails design sprints and client feedback loops. Our system automates calendar syncing with tools like Google Workspace and sends personalized reminders, cutting scheduling time by 70% for roles in account management and design. This ensures hires align with client timelines for deliverables like campaign rollouts, preventing delays that could cost agencies up to $10K per slipped project, while maintaining the fluid, relationship-driven pace essential to professional services retainers.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we spent Fridays buried in LinkedIn searches for motion graphics specialists instead of refining client wireframes and storyboards. Their custom system now sources vetted frontend devs with After Effects expertise in hours, not days—we hired three specialists last quarter and delivered a major e-commerce redesign two weeks early, securing a $150K follow-on contract."
Sarah Kline
Talent Acquisition Director, PixelForge Creative Agency
"Our old process meant sifting through 200 generic resumes weekly, missing real UX talent with Figma prototyping skills. The AI they built analyzes portfolios against our brand guidelines and past campaign data perfectly. Time-to-hire dropped from 40 days to 10 for senior designers, and we've cut bad hires by half—no more scrambling during Q4 crunch times for holiday client activations."
Mike Rivera
Head of People Operations, DesignNova Digital Studios
"Integrating this with our Asana and Slack workflows was a game-changer for our remote creative teams. No more email chains for interviews; the AI schedules everything around design sprints and flags top matches based on past project data from Adobe XD files. Saved us 10 hours a week, letting our creatives focus on what matters—client relationships that led to two $200K retainers this month for ongoing branding work."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting automation handle the unique needs of web design talent?
Web design hiring demands more than keywords—it's about portfolios, creative vision, and client fit. Our custom AI ingests your past project data to score candidates on specifics like UX/UI proficiency or responsive design expertise. For instance, it analyzes GitHub repos or Figma files directly, filtering for proven skills that align with your agency's style. We've helped agencies reduce mismatched hires by 60%, ensuring every addition enhances your creative output without the trial-and-error of manual reviews. The system learns from your feedback, refining matches over time for even better precision.
What integrations do you support for web design agency tools?
We prioritize seamless connectivity with your ecosystem. Common integrations include CRMs like HubSpot for candidate tracking, project managers like Asana or Monday.com for aligning hires with timelines, and creative suites such as Adobe XD or Figma for portfolio validation. Our deep, two-way APIs ensure data flows effortlessly—no more copying details between apps. For a recent client, we linked recruiting directly to their Slack channels for instant team notifications, cutting communication delays by 50%. If your stack is unique, we custom-build the bridges to fit.
How quickly can we see ROI from this automation?
Most agencies experience tangible gains within the first month. By automating sourcing and screening, you save 10-15 hours weekly immediately, equating to $2,000+ in reclaimed productivity at average creative rates. Full ROI hits 4x by quarter three, as faster hires (down to 10-12 days) fill gaps for client projects, boosting billables. One agency client reported $50K in additional revenue from on-time deliveries after implementation. We track this with built-in metrics, adjusting to maximize your returns based on real usage data.
Is the system scalable for growing agencies?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for evolution. Starting with 5-10 hires per quarter, it scales effortlessly to hundreds during expansions, handling increased data volumes without slowdowns. Unlike no-code tools that cap out, our custom code uses robust frameworks to support agency growth from 20 to 200 employees. A client scaling from boutique to mid-size used our system to manage a 150% hiring surge last year, maintaining 95% uptime and adapting to new roles like AR/VR specialists without rebuilds.
How do you ensure data security in creative recruiting?
Security is paramount in professional services, especially with sensitive portfolios and client-related IP. We employ enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access, and compliance with standards like GDPR and CCPA. Your candidate data stays owned by you, stored in secure, custom environments—not shared across platforms. For web agencies, this means protected handling of design assets during screening. We've audited systems for Fortune 500-level security, and post-deployment, we provide ongoing monitoring to catch and mitigate risks, ensuring your reputation remains untarnished.
Can this replace our existing recruiting subscriptions?
Yes, our goal is to consolidate and eliminate them. Many agencies juggle tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, and ATS platforms, costing $5K+ monthly in fragmented subs. Our unified system absorbs those functions—sourcing, screening, tracking—into one owned asset, slashing costs by 70% while improving accuracy. A design firm we partnered with canceled three subscriptions after go-live, redirecting savings to team training. We map your current setup during discovery to ensure a smooth transition without data loss.
