What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Firm
Slash Time-to-Hire by 60%
Slash Time-to-Hire by 60%: Our AI screens resumes in seconds, prioritizing candidates with Series 65 credentials or RIA experience, including automated FINRA U4 form validation. Firms using our system report filling advisor roles in under 30 days—versus the industry average of 45—freeing your team to nurture client relationships instead of chasing leads, with one mid-sized brokerage reducing screening from 20 hours to 2 per week.
Cut Recruiting Costs by 35%
Cut Recruiting Costs by 35%: Eliminate agency fees and manual verification expenses for background checks under SEC Regulation S-P. By automating sourcing from verified networks like CFA Institute directories and FINRA's Central Registration Depository, you reduce overhead while improving hire quality. Expect a 4:1 ROI within the first quarter, based on benchmarks from similar financial advisory implementations that saved $150K annually on compliance audits.
Ensure 100% Compliance and Data Security
Ensure 100% Compliance and Data Security: Built-in protocols handle sensitive candidate info with AES-256 encryption and immutable audit trails, aligning with Dodd-Frank Act Section 165 and GDPR for cross-border RIA operations. This mitigates risks in an era where non-compliance fines average $500K per incident under FINRA Rule 3110, giving your firm peace of mind amid rising regulatory scrutiny from the SEC's Division of Examinations.
What Clients Say
"We were buried under 500+ resumes for our wealth management team, spending 18 hours a week just verifying Series 7 licenses via BrokerCheck. AIQ's automation cut that to 4 hours, and we hired a top CFP professional in 22 days—our fastest ever for a RIA expansion. It's transformed how we scale without triggering any FINRA audit flags."
Sarah Jenkins
HR Director, Pinnacle Wealth Advisors (a SEC-registered RIA managing $2B AUM)
"Manual scheduling was chaos with advisors across EST and PST time zones for our broker-dealer network. Their custom AI integrated Outlook and flagged compliant Series 66 candidates instantly. Last quarter, we saved $45K in external recruiting fees for CFP hires and reduced turnover by 25% in high-net-worth client teams. Solid work for staying Dodd-Frank compliant."
Michael Ruiz
Talent Acquisition Manager, Horizon Financial Group (FINRA-member firm with 150 advisors)
"In our RIA, data security is non-negotiable under SEC Rule 204A-1. AIQ built a system that automates sourcing from CFA networks while keeping everything FINRA-ready with automated Form ADV checks. We onboarded three new Series 65 advisors in two months, boosting our AUM pipeline by 15% without a single audit flag from the SEC. Highly recommend for firms like ours navigating fiduciary duties."
Emily Chen
Chief Operations Officer, Apex Advisory Partners (independent RIA serving ultra-high-net-worth clients)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting automation ensure compliance with FINRA and SEC regulations?
We embed regulatory protocols directly into the AI core, automating checks against official databases like BrokerCheck for any red flags in candidate histories. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with full audit trails for every action. In our builds for advisory firms, this has prevented 100% of potential violations, saving clients an estimated $200K in fines. Unlike generic tools, we customize these safeguards to your firm's specific RIA or broker-dealer status, ensuring seamless alignment without manual oversight.
What kind of time savings can a financial advisory firm expect from this service?
Typically, firms see 12-18 hours saved per week on manual tasks like screening and scheduling. For a mid-sized advisor with 50 employees, that's equivalent to freeing one full-time HR role. Our AI handles initial sourcing and vetting, reducing time-to-hire from 45 days to 20. Based on benchmarks from similar implementations, this translates to a 35% drop in overall recruiting costs, allowing your team to prioritize high-value activities like client portfolio reviews over administrative busywork.
Is this solution customizable for our specific workflow in wealth management?
Absolutely. We start with a deep dive into your processes—whether it's sourcing for estate planners or fixed-income specialists—and build accordingly. No cookie-cutter approaches; our engineers code tailored modules, like AI scoring for advisors experienced in ESG investing. This custom fit ensures the system integrates with your CRM and compliance software, delivering immediate efficiency gains. Clients report 50% faster onboarding for roles tied to your unique client demographics, making it a true extension of your operations.
How secure is the candidate data handled by your AI system?
Security is paramount in finance, so we use SOC 2-compliant architecture with end-to-end encryption and role-based access controls. Candidate info never leaves your controlled environment, and we conduct regular penetration testing. For one advisory client, this setup passed an external audit with zero findings, even under heightened SEC scrutiny. We also include automated data purging after hiring cycles to minimize retention risks, giving you enterprise-grade protection tailored to the sensitive nature of financial talent data.
What ROI can we anticipate, and how is it measured?
Expect a 4:1 ROI within six months, driven by reduced agency fees and faster hires. We track metrics like cost-per-hire (dropping from $5K to $3K on average) and productivity boosts from reallocating HR time. For financial firms, this often means quicker scaling of advisory teams to capture more AUM. Our dashboards provide real-time visibility into these gains, with one client achieving a 28% increase in billable hours post-implementation. We baseline your current spend during discovery to quantify improvements precisely.
Can this integrate with our existing tools like Salesforce or compliance platforms?
Yes, we specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations that create a single source of truth. For instance, candidate data flows automatically from sourcing to your Salesforce instance, triggering compliance workflows in tools like MyComplianceOffice. This eliminates data silos that waste 20% of HR time in advisory firms. Our production-ready APIs handle high volumes without lag, and we've successfully linked to over 50 financial-specific platforms, ensuring your recruiting AI enhances rather than disrupts your tech stack.
