Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI know what kind of instructors my dance studio needs?
We start by mapping your specific requirements—like expertise in lyrical dance or experience with adaptive classes for all ages—through a quick discovery session. The AI then trains on your past hires' success factors, such as retention rates and member feedback, to source and screen candidates. For example, if your studio emphasizes wellness integration, it prioritizes applicants with yoga certifications. It's all custom-built, so it evolves with your needs, saving you from generic filters that miss the mark. Over time, this leads to hires that not only fill spots but enhance your overall member experience.
What kind of time savings can I expect from this recruiting automation?
Studios typically save 15-20 hours per week on manual tasks like posting ads, reviewing resumes, and scheduling. Think about it: instead of spending evenings after classes sorting through unqualified applicants, the AI handles sourcing and initial screening overnight. One client went from 40 hours a month on hiring to just 5, redirecting that time to retention efforts like personalized member check-ins. The ROI kicks in fast—within the first hire, you'll see cost reductions from avoided agency fees, and long-term, it boosts efficiency by filling roles 50% quicker during busy periods like back-to-school rushes.
Is this system secure for handling applicant data in the wellness space?
Absolutely, we prioritize privacy with enterprise-grade encryption and compliance to standards like GDPR and HIPAA where relevant for wellness data. Your applicant info stays within your owned system, not scattered across third-party platforms. We build in features like automated consent tracking for video auditions, ensuring everything is audit-ready. Unlike off-the-shelf tools that risk data leaks, our custom setup gives you full control, so you can focus on building trust with members and hires without worrying about breaches disrupting your studio's reputation.
Can this integrate with my existing studio management software?
Yes, we specialize in deep integrations with tools like Mindbody, Jackrabbit, or even custom calendars. The AI pulls in your class schedules to match instructor availability, pushes applicant details directly to your CRM, and automates onboarding steps like contract signing. No more manual data entry that leads to errors during peak seasons. For a recent dance studio partner, this meant seamless syncing that cut admin time by 60%, allowing their team to prioritize creative programming over paperwork. It's designed to fit your workflow, not force you into a new one.
How much does a custom recruiting automation cost for a dance studio?
Costs start around $8,000 for a tailored setup, depending on your studio's size and integrations, with ongoing maintenance at a fraction of subscription alternatives—often paying for itself in 2-3 hires through saved time and reduced turnover. Unlike monthly SaaS fees that add up to thousands yearly, you own this system outright. We break it down in a free consultation, factoring in your specific ROI goals, like handling 10 seasonal hires without extra staff. Many owners see a 3x return in the first year from efficiency gains alone.
What if my studio is small—does this scale down?
Perfectly suited for small studios with just a handful of part-time instructors. We customize the scope to your volume, starting with basics like automated sourcing for freelance gigs, scaling up as you grow. A boutique studio we worked with, handling 5 hires a year, used it to target local talent for workshops, saving 10 hours monthly and improving match quality for their intimate classes. It's flexible, not overkill, ensuring you get big-league efficiency without the big budget.
