The "Crew Shortage" Problem
Manual job postings on platforms like Indeed and Craigslist flood inboxes with unqualified applicants lacking essential certifications such as OSHA 10-hour cards or journeyman plumbing licenses, wasting 20+ hours weekly sifting through irrelevant resumes for skilled trades roles
Coordinating interviews around unpredictable field schedules for plumbers or electricians results in no-shows and rescheduling chaos, delaying critical hires and extending kitchen remodel or bathroom renovation timelines by 2-4 weeks
Tracking candidate communications through fragmented emails, texts, and voicemails heightens compliance risks under FLSA overtime rules and EEOC guidelines for subcontractors in custom home builds or roofing projects
Failing to leverage a centralized database of local tradespeople leads to overlooking vetted HVAC technicians or framers in your network, forcing reliance on temp agencies charging $50-75/hour premiums for emergency roofing or siding crews
High turnover from mismatched cultural fits in high-stakes construction sites costs $4,000-$7,000 per incident in retraining for roles like lead carpenter or HVAC installer, disrupting ongoing flooring or cabinetry installations
Seasonal hiring surges for spring siding or fall gutter installations overwhelm office staff, resulting in hasty hires of uncertified workers who mishandle electrical rough-ins, triggering costly rework and client disputes

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time Savings That Fuel Your Bottom Line
Slash Hiring Time by 40%
Slash Hiring Time by 40%: Our AI-powered system scans local trade databases to identify and engage top-tier carpenters with 5+ years of residential framing experience or licensed electricians in under 24 hours, freeing foremen from endless cold calls to suppliers and subs. Expect 15 hours saved weekly—reallocate that to on-site walkthroughs for foundation pours or final inspections, accelerating project throughput by 15% and lifting client satisfaction scores from 4.2 to 4.8 on average.
Achieve 3x ROI on Labor Costs
Achieve 3x ROI on Labor Costs: Precision matching of candidates to job specs—such as EPA-certified HVAC techs for ductwork installs—delivers 92% accuracy, slashing turnover by 25% and avoiding $5,000+ in retraining per bad hire on roles like tile setters. This enables leaner, 10-person crews for efficient bathroom renos or full-home flips, cutting completion times from 8 to 6 weeks and boosting profit margins by 18% on average.
Boost Productivity with Precision Fits
Boost Productivity with Precision Fits: AI analyzes your historical project data—from roofing timelines to electrical load calculations—to prioritize hires who align with your site's high-energy pace, reducing onboarding from 2 weeks to 3 days for new masons or painters. Teams reach full productivity 30% faster, enabling 20% more annual projects like deck additions or kitchen expansions without skill gaps causing permit delays or rework callbacks.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were swamped with 200+ resumes for a single lead foreman position on our custom home projects, and over half lacked basic OSHA 30 certifications or any framing background. Their automation filtered it down to just 15 qualified matches by the next morning, leading us to hire a pro with 12 years in residential builds who's now overseeing our outdoor deck installations without a hitch. It saved us a full month of delays right in the heart of summer peak season."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Riverside Custom Construction LLC
"Hiring licensed plumbers for our renovation pipeline used to devour entire Fridays chasing down availability via phone tag and site visits. Now, AIQ's platform auto-schedules interviews and ranks candidates based on our past pipefitting and fixture install records. We filled three journeyman spots in just two weeks last quarter—our turnover dropped to under 10%, and we're landing 15% more competitive bids on multi-unit townhome flips."
Sarah Chen
HR and Talent Director, Apex Residential Builders Inc.
"Running a small crew, we couldn't justify the $2,000+ agency fees for certified electricians during a tight deadline on a whole-home rewiring job. AIQ's tool tapped into our local IBEW chapter networks and ran automated background checks, landing us two master electricians mid-project rush. No timeline slips, flawless panel upgrades, and the client gave us a glowing review that led to two referrals."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle seasonal hiring spikes for things like summer roofing crews?
Our custom AI anticipates surges by analyzing your historical project data and bid forecasts, ramping up sourcing automatically. For instance, it can target 50+ candidates with shingling experience in weeks, scheduling virtual interviews that fit around site prep. We've seen contractors reduce peak hiring time from 60 days to 20, without overwhelming your admin. It's built to pause during off-seasons too, keeping costs low year-round.
Will this integrate with my existing tools like Buildertrend or QuickBooks?
Absolutely. We design two-way API connections that pull project specs from Buildertrend to inform candidate matching—say, needing framers for a tight deadline—and push hire data into QuickBooks for payroll setup. No manual exports. This creates a single workflow, cutting errors by 90%. For a mid-sized contractor, this meant syncing 100 hires annually without a single data mismatch.
What about ensuring candidates meet local building codes and certifications?
The system includes a built-in verifier that cross-checks uploaded docs against databases for certs like EPA for lead paint or ICC for inspections. It flags issues early, auto-requesting proofs. In one deployment for a Florida firm, this caught 30% of applicants missing hurricane-resistant build quals, saving potential fines and rework costs exceeding $10K per job.
How much time does it really save for a small general contracting team?
For teams of 10-50, expect 15-25 hours weekly reclaimed from sourcing and screening. A typical solo GC we worked with went from 10 hours per hire to 2, focusing instead on client walkthroughs. Over a year, that's 1,000+ hours back—equivalent to adding a full-time admin without the salary hit, directly padding your margins on flips and additions.
Can we own and modify the system after it's built?
Yes, full ownership is core to our model. We hand over the source code, documentation, and hosting setup, so you can tweak it—like adding custom fields for union affiliations—without us. Unlike subscription traps, there's no lock-in. One client, a growing remodeler, later expanded it in-house for vendor bidding, scaling their ops 2x in under a year.
Is this suitable for hiring subcontractors versus full-time crew?
Tailored for both. The AI distinguishes by contract type, sourcing W-2 employees for core teams and 1099 subs for specialties like cabinetry installs. It even generates scope-specific outreach, ensuring subs align with your timelines. For a Texas contractor, this filled a hybrid crew for a subdivision project in 10 days, blending full-timers and specialists seamlessly.
