What Clients Say
""Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried under 50 resumes a week for a single copywriter role, pulling us away from client SEO audits. Their custom AI screened via keyword matching on portfolios and scheduled interviews in days, not weeks—we hired a star who boosted our conversion rates by 18% in the first quarter, adding $150K to our retainer pipeline. It's like having an extra recruiter who never sleeps.""

""Hiring social media managers was a nightmare with our scattered tools across Trello and email. AIQ built a system that integrates with our Asana workflows and flags candidates based on past campaign metrics like engagement ROI. We cut sourcing time in half and landed two freelancers who helped us win a major e-commerce client last month, securing a $200K contract—no more missed deadlines on content calendars.""

What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting AI handle the creative nuances of digital marketing roles?
Unlike generic tools, our custom AI is trained on your agency's specific criteria—think evaluating portfolios for UX design or gauging social media savvy through past campaign examples. We start by analyzing your successful hires, then build models that score candidates on both hard skills and cultural fit. For instance, it can prioritize those with proven A/B testing experience for your PPC team. This tailored approach has helped agencies like yours reduce bad hires by 30%, ensuring new talent contributes to client wins from week one. Deployment includes fine-tuning sessions so it evolves with your workflow.
What kind of time savings can a digital marketing agency expect?
Agencies typically reclaim 15-25 hours per week per recruiter by automating sourcing, screening, and scheduling. Manual resume reviews, which often eat into creative brainstorming time, drop by 70%. One client saw their time-to-hire for content strategists fall from 40 days to 18, freeing bandwidth for client pitches. Our systems calculate ROI in real-time, showing cost reductions like $8K-15K annually on external recruiters. It's not just speed; it's redirecting expertise to high-ROI activities like strategy development, with benchmarks from similar firms confirming 2-4x productivity boosts.
Is the solution customizable for our agency's freelance-heavy hiring?
Absolutely—it's built around your exact needs, including hybrid full-time and freelance pipelines common in digital marketing. We integrate with platforms like Upwork and Fiverr, automating vetting for short-term gigs while flagging long-term potentials. For example, the AI can score freelancers on quick-turnaround metrics like content velocity. Unlike templated tools, we code in flexibility for your client-driven schedules, ensuring no disruptions. Post-launch, we optimize based on your feedback, with one agency reporting 50% faster freelance onboarding without quality dips.
How do you ensure data security and compliance in recruiting?
Security is paramount in client-trusting industries like yours. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with GDPR and CCPA, with custom audits for agency-specific needs like handling sensitive campaign data in resumes. Our systems feature role-based access and audit logs, preventing breaches during sourcing. We've built in automated NDA prompts for freelancers and bias-detection in screening to promote fair hiring. Clients in regulated spaces appreciate our track record—zero incidents across 150+ deployments—because we treat your talent data like the proprietary IP it is.
What's the implementation timeline for this recruiting automation?
We move fast: discovery takes 1-2 weeks, custom build and integration 4-6 weeks, and full deployment with training in under 10 weeks total. This phased approach minimizes disruption—start with sourcing automation while we layer in screening. For a mid-sized agency, we piloted with one role to prove 20-hour savings before scaling. Ongoing support includes monthly check-ins to tweak for new hiring needs, like seasonal social media surges. It's designed for SMB agility, delivering value incrementally without halting your current processes.
Can this integrate with our existing marketing tools?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like HubSpot, Google Workspace, or Asana, creating a seamless flow from candidate sourcing to team assignment. For digital agencies, this means auto-populating project briefs with new hire details or syncing availability for client meetings. No more manual data entry that fragments your workflow. Our engineers handle API complexities, ensuring reliability— one client integrated with their creative suite and saw error rates drop to zero, boosting overall efficiency by 35%.
