What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were burning through weekends emailing candidates for our kids' taekwondo program—it was totally draining our family time. Now, the system auto-screens for black-belt certified instructors and books trials right into our Mindbody calendar. We've hired two reliable additions in the last month, cutting instructor turnover by 30% and keeping our little ninjas' progress on track without class interruptions."
Mike Chen
Owner, Dragon Fist Martial Arts Studio in Seattle
"Hiring for our evening women's self-defense workshops was a total headache with our part-time team juggling shifts. Their custom AI slashed our search time from 20 hours a week to just 2 hours reviewing matches on Mondays. We saved about $5,200 in agency fees last quarter, and the new instructor's Krav Maga expertise has already increased adult workshop sign-ups by 20%."
Sarah Lopez
Head Instructor, Apex Wellness Dojo in Austin
"I was skeptical that AI could really get the subtleties of poomsae forms in taekwondo, but it perfectly matched us with specialists who vibe with our academy's discipline-focused philosophy. It integrated seamlessly with our Zen Planner app, and we filled three instructor spots in under two weeks during peak season. It's seriously like having a 24/7 recruiter who understands wellness through martial arts."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI handle the unique skills needed for martial arts instructors?
Our custom system is trained on industry-specific data, like distinguishing taekwondo poomsae expertise from Brazilian jiu-jitsu grappling. We map your requirements—say, experience with kids' programs or adaptive techniques for seniors—and the AI scans profiles accordingly. It's like having a sensei vet candidates: quick, accurate, and tailored. Schools typically see 70% better matches right away, saving weeks of manual checks. Plus, we fine-tune it post-launch based on your feedback, ensuring it evolves with your dojang's focus.
What kind of time savings can a small martial arts school expect?
For a school with 20-50 students, you're looking at 10-15 hours saved weekly. That's the grind of posting ads, reviewing dozens of apps, and chasing responses—gone. One client, a local karate academy, went from 18 hours to 3, redirecting time to member retention events. The ROI hits fast: if you're paying $2K monthly on manual efforts or agencies, our build pays for itself in 2-3 months through efficiency. We quantify this upfront in your consultation, basing it on your current workflow.
Is this recruiting automation secure for handling candidate data?
Absolutely—security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive info like certifications or background checks. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR, tailored for wellness businesses. Your data stays in a unified, owned system, not scattered across rented tools. We've built this for schools dealing with youth programs, so it includes features like secure sharing for references. No breaches in our track record, and we provide full audits. Think of it as a locked dojo safe: everything protected, access controlled.
Can it integrate with my existing dojo software?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like Mindbody or Jackrabbit. Whether it's syncing class schedules for instructor availability or pulling member feedback into candidate evals, we make it seamless. No more copy-pasting between apps. For a recent taekwondo school, we linked it to their CRM in under a week, automating trial invites directly. It's custom-built to your setup, so if you have unique plugins, we handle those too—ensuring your workflow stays smooth without disruptions.
What's the cost and timeline for implementing this?
Costs start around $15K for a full custom build, depending on complexity—like adding voice screening for interviews. That's a one-time investment for ownership, versus ongoing $500+ monthly fees elsewhere. Timeline? 4-6 weeks from discovery to launch, with minimal downtime. We phased it for a jiu-jitsu gym: sourcing AI first, then integrations. ROI calculators show breakeven in 3 months via savings. During your free consult, we break it down with specifics for your school's size and needs—no surprises.
How does it improve instructor retention in my school?
Retention starts with better hires—our AI flags cultural fits, like passion for discipline or long-term commitment, reducing mismatches that lead to quick exits. It also automates onboarding, like sharing your dojang handbook, to set expectations early. One school saw turnover drop 60% after implementation, as instructors felt valued from day one. We track post-hire metrics, like engagement surveys, to optimize. Ultimately, it's about efficiency: less recruiting churn means stable teams, happier students, and stronger member loyalty.
