The "Talent Shortage" Problem
Sifting through unqualified resumes for roles like site supervisors or CNC operators while crane deliveries and concrete pours face delays
Coordinating interviews for field technicians around 24/7 fabrication shifts and unpredictable weather-induced site delays
Losing top structural steel detailers to competitors due to slow, manual sourcing amid booming infrastructure bids
Overloaded HR teams manually verifying OSHA compliance, AWS welding certifications, and heavy equipment operator licenses
Wasted budgets on agency fees for mismatched hires delaying steel fabrication runs and modular assembly lines
Struggling to match candidates' skills to project-specific needs like AutoCAD proficiency for BIM modeling or ASME pressure vessel welding certs

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains That Keep Your Projects Moving
Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Sourcing
Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Sourcing: Forget endless LinkedIn hunts for certified pipefitters or surveyors—our AI scans for hands-on experience with tools like Revit or Mastercam, pre-vetting against your blueprint tolerances. Result? Project managers reclaim time for site walkthroughs, lifting productivity by 30% on everything from high-rise framing to custom machining.
Achieve 3x ROI Through Faster Hires
Achieve 3x ROI Through Faster Hires: Imagine slashing those vacancy-induced halts in HVAC installations or assembly line setups from 45 days to 15—our system prioritizes candidates with LEED certification or lean manufacturing expertise. Clients report payback within 3 months, dodging $50K+ in daily overtime on delayed commercial builds and stabilizing profit margins.
Reduce Costs by 40% on Recruitment
Reduce Costs by 40% on Recruitment: Ditch agency markups for ill-fitting electricians—our automation cross-checks NEC codes, fall protection training, and forklift endorsements in real-time. This slashes overhead, freeing up funds for drone surveys or CNC upgrades, while ensuring hires integrate seamlessly into your scaffolded workflows for measurable efficiency gains.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried under 200+ resumes for our civil engineering openings on a highway overpass job—it took our team two full weeks to filter for active PE licenses and experience with geotechnical software like PLAXIS. Now, their AI does the heavy lifting automatically, and we filled three key surveyor roles in just 22 days. Honestly saved us around 12 hours a week during peak permitting season."
Mike Reynolds
HR Director, Apex Bridge Builders Inc.
"Hiring certified fabricators was chaos with our rotating 12-hour shifts at the steel mill. AIQ's custom AI synced right up with our Kronos time-tracking system, slotting interviews into off-peak downtime without disrupting weld schedules. We halved our hiring costs from $25K to $12K per role and onboarded a specialist with AWS D1.1 certification just in time for the 50-ton tank expansion—game-changer for keeping production humming."
Sarah Chen
Talent Acquisition Lead, Forge Steel Fabricators LLC
"Our legacy hiring was total disarray, like pouring concrete without rebar—zero structure. AIQ's platform nailed candidate matches for our MEP engineers, screening for Revit skills and EPA refrigerant handling certs, dropping time-to-hire from 60 days to 20 amid a tight commercial retrofit deadline. It's battle-tested for the dust and deadlines of our sites, and it's paying off big in smoother subsystem integrations."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting AI handle the unique skills needed for manufacturing engineers?
We customize the AI to recognize specific competencies like CNC machining or Six Sigma certifications, pulling from targeted sources. For instance, it scans for experience with lean manufacturing principles or FEA software. This isn't generic – we train it on your historical hires, ensuring matches that align with your production lines. Firms see 50% better fit rates, saving weeks of mismatched placements. It's built to integrate with your workflow, reducing manual vetting by automating initial tech skill assessments.
What kind of time savings can we expect in our construction hiring process?
Typically, engineering firms save 15-25 hours per week. Manual sourcing for roles like site supervisors can take days; our AI does it in hours by scanning job boards and LinkedIn for keywords like 'heavy equipment operation' or 'surveying expertise.' We focus on ROI – one client cut their quarterly hiring admin from 80 hours to 20, freeing up time for bid preparations. It's practical: the system learns from your feedback, getting faster over time without added costs.
Is this recruiting automation compliant with construction industry regulations?
Absolutely. We embed checks for regulations like EEOC guidelines and industry standards such as Davis-Bacon wage requirements. The AI flags candidates with verified licenses – think PE stamps or crane operator certs – and avoids biased screening by design. We've built this for firms dealing with union hires, ensuring documentation trails for audits. No generic setup; it's tailored to your operations, reducing legal risks while speeding up onboarding for critical roles.
How do you integrate this with our existing project management tools?
We create deep, two-way API connections to tools like Procore, Autodesk BIM 360, or SAP for manufacturing. For example, candidate data flows directly into your pipeline, linking skills to upcoming jobs like structural steel fabrication. This eliminates data silos – no more copying resumes into spreadsheets. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, with testing to ensure it handles real-time updates, like shifting schedules for weather delays. The result? A unified system that boosts efficiency without workflow disruptions.
What's the ROI timeline for implementing your AI recruiting solution?
Most clients see positive ROI within 3-6 months. By reducing time-to-hire from 45 days to 15, you avoid vacancy costs – say, $5K per unfilled engineer role monthly. Add in 40% lower agency fees, and payback is quick. We track metrics like cost-per-hire and productivity gains post-launch. For a mid-sized firm, that's often $50K+ annual savings, reinvested into tools or training. It's field-tested: we base projections on similar implementations, adjusting for your scale.
Can this scale for seasonal hiring in construction projects?
Yes, our systems are built scalable for fluctuations, like ramping up for infrastructure booms. The AI handles volume surges by prioritizing urgent needs, such as laborers for roadwork or electricians for plant setups. We design it to auto-adjust based on project timelines in your PM software. One firm scaled from 5 to 50 hires in a season without added headcount, maintaining quality. It's robust, using advanced frameworks to prevent bottlenecks during peak demands.
