Our Custom-Built Recruiting Automation Fits Your Construction Workflow
We've engineered solutions for construction firms just like yours, integrating with tools like Procore and Autodesk to handle the unique demands of field hiring.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest—recruiting in construction isn't like office jobs. Your needs fluctuate with project timelines, weather delays, and urgent bids. We build a tailored AI system that sources candidates from industry-specific pools, screens for hands-on experience, and even predicts fit based on past project data. No more generic templates. This is custom code, owned by you, reducing dependency on clunky HR software that doesn't understand blueprints or overtime shifts.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time Savings and Boost Your Bottom Line
Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Sourcing
Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Sourcing: You're probably thinking about all those late nights posting ads on Indeed for NCCCO-certified crane operators. Our system automates it, pulling qualified leads from trade networks like the Associated General Contractors and scoring them by years of experience and equipment proficiency. Result? Your HR team focuses on interviews, not scrolling—cutting time-to-hire from 45 days to under 20, with a clear ROI of 3x on implementation costs within the first quarter, especially during peak rebar and formwork seasons.
Reduce Hiring Costs by 40%
Reduce Hiring Costs by 40%: Here's the thing: manual recruiting drains your budget on agency fees and lost productivity from understaffed sites during critical pours or assembly line setups. We integrate AI to filter out mismatches early by verifying skills like blueprint reading and welding techniques, ensuring hires stick around longer. For one client in steel fabrication, this meant dropping turnover from 35% to 12% annually, saving $150K in retraining for journeyman electricians and millwrights over a single fiscal year.
Scale Hiring for Project Surges
Scale Hiring for Project Surges: Construction booms like summer highway overpasses or annual plant maintenance shutdowns don't wait—neither should your recruiting. Our custom automation ramps up during peak seasons by predicting needs from your project pipeline in tools like Procore or Autodesk BIM 360. Efficiency gains? Up to 25% more hires without adding headcount to your team, keeping concrete pours on schedule and avoiding $50K+ daily penalties from delays.
What Clients Say
"We were drowning in resumes for our highway project crew, spending 20 hours a week just sorting through them for qualified rebar tiers and concrete finishers. After AIQ Labs set up the automation, we're down to 5 hours, and we've hired three solid foremen in the last month who actually know rebar tying and formwork safety. It's like having an extra recruiter on site without the salary—especially during our Q3 infrastructure push."
Mike Rivera
HR Director, Apex Infrastructure Construction
"Integrating this with our Procore system was a game-changer for our fabrication shop. No more manual checks for AWS welding certs—the AI flags them instantly during applicant uploads. We filled a rush order for 20 pipefitters in two weeks instead of six, saving us from delaying a $2M chemical plant expansion by matching their isometric drawing skills upfront."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, BuildTech Industrial Manufacturing
"Honestly, I was skeptical about AI for blue-collar hiring on our steel erection sites, but it's cut our bad fits by half through pre-screening for OSHA-30 and rigging experience. Last quarter, we onboarded 15 new structural laborers who passed probation on the first try after a major beam installation project, and our site's productivity jumped 18% with fewer safety incidents. Worth every penny for keeping timelines tight."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the seasonal hiring spikes in construction?
Construction is all about those unpredictable surges—like prepping for a summer infrastructure push. Our system uses your project pipeline data to anticipate needs, ramping up sourcing automatically. For instance, it can pull in extra laborers for roadwork seasons by scanning regional talent pools and prioritizing those with relevant experience, like asphalt laying. We've seen clients cut ramp-up time from weeks to days, saving on idle equipment costs. It's fully customizable, so we tune it to your bid cycles and weather patterns, ensuring you're not caught short during peak demands. Plus, it integrates directly with your forecasting tools for seamless scaling.
What makes this different from off-the-shelf recruiting software?
Off-the-shelf tools are like using a standard hammer for custom cabinetry—they don't fit the nuances of construction hiring. We build yours from the ground up, incorporating specifics like verifying crane operator licenses or matching electricians to solar project specs. No generic filters here; our AI learns from your past hires, reducing mismatches that lead to site delays. You're not locked into monthly fees for features you don't use—instead, you own a robust system that evolves with your business, integrated tightly with tools like Autodesk. Clients tell us it's like having a dedicated recruiter who never sleeps, but without the payroll hit.
Can it ensure hires meet safety and compliance standards?
Absolutely—safety is non-negotiable on job sites. Our automation includes built-in checks for certifications like OSHA 10/30, fall protection training, and even state-specific requirements for heavy equipment. It scans resumes and pulls from verified databases to flag qualifications upfront, preventing costly rejections later. For one manufacturing client, this caught expired certs in 80% of initial applicants, saving weeks of rework. We customize the rules to your operations, whether it's union rules or DOT compliance for transportation builds, and provide audit trails for your records. It's peace of mind that keeps your crews safe and projects on schedule.
How quickly can we see ROI from implementing this?
You're probably thinking ROI takes forever, but in construction, it hits fast because every delayed hire costs real money in overtime and fines. Most clients see payback within 2-3 months— for example, one firm reduced agency spending by $40K quarterly after automating carpenter sourcing. We start with a quick audit of your current process, then deploy in phases: basic screening in week one, full integration by month one. Track it all via our dashboard, showing metrics like cost-per-hire dropping 35%. It's practical, field-tested, and focused on your bottom line, turning recruiting from a drag to a driver of efficiency.
Is this system secure for handling sensitive candidate data?
Security is critical, especially with personal info on skilled tradespeople. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and comply with GDPR, CCPA, and construction-specific regs like those for background checks. Data stays in your controlled environment—no cloud roulette with third parties. Features include role-based access so only site supers see relevant profiles, and automated purging of unqualified apps to minimize risks. A recent partner in bridge construction praised how it handled union member data without a hitch, avoiding any breaches during a high-volume hire for a $10M project. We audit everything upfront to match your protocols, ensuring trust from day one.
How do we train our team to use the recruiting automation?
We keep it simple—no tech overload for your field teams. After building, we provide hands-on sessions tailored to construction workflows, like showing foremen how to review AI-matched profiles on their phones during breaks. It's intuitive, with video tutorials on tasks such as approving welder candidates or adjusting search criteria for a new warehouse build. For a mid-sized contractor, our two-day onboarding got their entire HR and ops staff up to speed, leading to 90% adoption in the first month. We include ongoing support, like monthly check-ins to refine based on feedback, so it feels like an extension of your daily tools rather than a learning curve.
