What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Prioritizes Patient Care
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Core Therapy Work
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Core Therapy Work: Manual recruitment for licensed clinical social workers steals time from patient sessions. Our system automates sourcing from credential databases and initial screenings via AI-driven empathy assessments, freeing admins for direct patient support. Practices report a 60% drop in time-to-hire, translating to $40,000 saved annually on overtime and temp clinicians—direct ROI that lets therapists prioritize trauma-informed care over hiring paperwork.
Achieve 3x Faster Hires with 95% Compliance
Achieve 3x Faster Hires with 95% Compliance: In mental health clinics, hiring delays disrupt continuity of care for patients with ongoing therapy needs. AIQ's engine screens for qualifications like LMHC licensure and CBT certification while enforcing HIPAA at every step, including secure data encryption for candidate PHI. Benchmark: Reduce hiring from 45 days to 15, boosting retention by 25% as you secure empathetic talent quicker, without risking OCR audits or compliance penalties.
Drive 50% Cost Reduction in Recruitment Spend
Drive 50% Cost Reduction in Recruitment Spend: Agency fees for psychologists and psychiatric NPs average $10,000 per hire in competitive markets. Our custom automation cuts this by half through precise targeting via specialty matching algorithms and virtual interviews integrated with telehealth platforms. One community mental health center saved $75,000 last year, reinvesting in EHR expansions—proving enterprise-grade efficiency in a field burdened by Stark Law and reimbursement constraints.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we spent weeks manually reviewing psychiatrist resumes from national boards, constantly worried about HIPAA violations when handling candidates' prior patient case notes. Now, their system automatically flags APA-certified candidates in under 48 hours, and we've hired three child psychiatry specialists in just two months without a single compliance incident. It's like having a dedicated compliance-savvy recruiter available 24/7."
Dr. Elena Vasquez
Chief Medical Officer, Harmony Mind Clinic (a 50-bed outpatient mental health facility in California)
"Our small rural practice was overwhelmed with manual scheduling for licensed professional counselor interviews during a surge in anxiety disorder cases. AIQ developed a tailored tool that seamlessly integrated with our Epic EHR system, slashing our hiring time by 70% and automating credential verifications. Last quarter, we onboarded a certified trauma-informed care expert without disrupting operations—patient wait times for sessions dropped by 40% right away."
Mark Thompson

"I was initially skeptical about AI for hiring in mental health, but AIQ's customized platform screened for key empathy indicators through analysis of clinical experience in resumes and even automated scheduling for virtual credentialing panels with our multidisciplinary team. We reduced turnover from 30% to 10% over six months among our LMFTs and psychologists, saving over $50,000 on retraining costs while ensuring our staff could stay focused on evidence-based therapies."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting automation ensure HIPAA compliance for mental health practices?
HIPAA is non-negotiable in our designs. We embed encryption and access controls directly into the AI engine, ensuring all candidate data—like therapy backgrounds or personal histories—remains secure. For instance, our system uses role-based permissions so only verified admins see sensitive info, with automatic logs for audits. We've helped practices avoid fines by automating de-identification of PHI during sourcing. Unlike generic tools, we customize to your state regs, like California's stricter privacy rules, delivering peace of mind while speeding hires. Implementation includes a full compliance review, reducing breach risks by 90% per industry benchmarks.
Can this system handle the unique hiring needs for therapists and counselors?
Absolutely. Mental health roles demand more than keywords; our AI evaluates soft skills like empathy and crisis intervention through nuanced analysis of resumes, cover letters, and even LinkedIn profiles. We train the model on your practice's specifics—say, expertise in DBT for borderline patients—yielding matches 3x better than manual methods. One client, a community clinic, used it to hire five counselors in under a month, focusing on bilingual candidates for underserved populations. It's built to scale with your needs, from solo practices to multi-site operations, always prioritizing patient-centered fits.
What kind of time savings can we expect from AIQ's recruiting solution?
Practices typically save 15-25 hours per week on recruitment tasks. Manual screening for a single therapist role can take 10-15 hours; our AI handles it in minutes, scanning thousands of profiles against your criteria. Add automated scheduling, which cuts coordination time by 70%, and you're looking at a 60% overall reduction in time-to-hire. For a mid-sized practice, this equates to reclaiming 500+ admin hours yearly, redirecting focus to patient care. We base projections on your workflow audit, with real clients reporting ROI within three months through lower agency costs and faster staffing.
Is the system customizable to our existing tools and workflows?
Yes, we design it around your exact setup—no cookie-cutter templates. If you use Therapynotes or SimplePractice for EHR, we integrate directly via secure APIs, pulling caseload data to inform hiring urgency. For example, if burnout is high in your anxiety unit, the AI prioritizes those specialists. Our process starts with a deep dive into your operations, ensuring seamless fit without disrupting daily therapy sessions. Post-build, we provide training and iterate based on feedback, making it feel like an extension of your team rather than an add-on.
How do you measure the ROI of this recruiting automation?
We track tangible metrics like time-to-hire (target: 50% reduction), cost-per-hire (aim for 40% savings vs. agencies), and retention rates (boost to 85%+ for therapists). Using your baseline data, we forecast $30,000-$60,000 annual savings for a 10-provider practice, factoring in avoided turnover costs— which average $20,000 per clinician in mental health. Our dashboard provides real-time ROI visuals, showing efficiency gains like hours saved per role. Clients see payback in 4-6 months, with long-term boosts in productivity as stable teams improve patient satisfaction scores by 20-30%.
What if our practice grows—does the system scale?
Built for growth, our architecture handles expansion effortlessly. Start with sourcing for two psychologists; scale to 20 across sites without performance dips. We use cloud-based, production-ready frameworks that auto-adjust to volume, like surging needs during mental health awareness month. Integrations with tools like BambooHR ensure smooth onboarding as you add staff. A client doubled their size last year, and our system adapted in weeks—no downtime, just upgraded analytics for multi-location hiring. We include scalability planning in every project, future-proofing against practice evolution.
