Join 150+ businesses with 40% faster pool technician hires
The "Talent Drain" Problem
Seasonal hiring rushes for certified pool technicians overwhelm small teams, resulting in uncleaned pools and lost revenue during peak summer demand, with industry data showing up to 20% service backlog
Manual resume reviews for Certified Pool Operator (CPO)-certified technicians consume hours better allocated to client site visits, skimmer cleanings, and pump repairs
High turnover from mismatched hires incurs repeated training costs for pool chemical balancing, chlorine safety protocols, and variable-speed pump operation, averaging $5,000 per tech annually
Scheduling interviews around erratic field schedules for pool inspections and emergency repairs causes missed opportunities with skilled applicants holding NSPF certifications
Sourcing certified pool professionals from fragmented job boards like Indeed and Pool & Spa News delays crew buildup for spring openings, often by 4-6 weeks
Onboarding delays for new hires on pool safety compliance and equipment calibration disrupt service continuity, frustrating loyal clients expecting prompt seasonal pool maintenance

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we spent all of March buried in resumes for our summer crew, losing two full weeks of service time while pools went unchlorinated. Now, their system auto-screens for CPO certifications and schedules interviews around our route for skimmer and heater checks. We hired five certified techs in under 10 days last season, and turnover dropped from 30% to 12%. It's like having an extra recruiter who understands seasonal pool demands inside out."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, ClearWater Pool Services, serving 500+ residential clients in Florida
"Manual hiring was killing us during peak algae season; we'd chase unqualified applicants while emergency calls for green pool cleanups piled up. AIQ built a custom matcher that flags hands-on experience with variable-speed pumps and DE filters right away. It saved us 18 hours a week on admin, and we filled 8 spots in two weeks—clients noticed the quicker response times for their backyard oasis maintenance immediately."
Sarah Chen
HR and Talent Lead, AquaTech Pool Maintenance, specializing in commercial and residential installations across California
"We run three crews across the suburbs handling everything from acid washes to solar cover installs, so coordinating interviews was total chaos with overlapping service calls. Their AI integrates seamlessly with our dispatching app, auto-books slots without overlaps, and even prioritizes candidates with saltwater chlorinator expertise. Last hire cycle, we cut no-shows by 80% and onboarded a senior tech who resolved our recurring sand filter issues. ROI hit in the first month—no more juggling multiple job board subscriptions."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this AI handle the unique certifications required for pool technicians?
Our custom system is programmed to prioritize and verify key certifications like Certified Pool & Spa Operator (CPO) or those from the National Swimming Pool Foundation. It scans resumes and LinkedIn profiles for exact matches, cross-referencing against your requirements. For instance, if you need experience with NSF/ANSI standards, the AI flags it immediately during screening. We've helped pool firms reduce unqualified applicants by 75%, ensuring hires are ready for chemical balancing and safety protocols from day one. This tailored approach integrates directly with your workflow, saving hours on manual checks.
Can the recruiting automation scale for seasonal hiring spikes in summer?
Absolutely. We design the AI to anticipate and handle volume surges, like ramping up sourcing in spring for summer crews. It automates outreach to 500+ candidates weekly if needed, using predictive models based on your past seasons' data. One client, a mid-sized pool service, went from manual postings to filling 20 spots in 14 days during peak. The system scales without added costs, integrating with your scheduling to avoid overwhelming your team, and includes burst-handling features for rapid interview setups.
What kind of integration does it have with our existing pool service software?
We build deep, two-way integrations with tools like ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or custom CRMs common in pool services. This means candidate data flows automatically into your dispatch system, syncing availability for interviews around job sites. No more duplicate entry—resumes update client notes directly, and hires trigger onboarding in your payroll. For a Southwest pool company, this cut integration errors by 90%, creating a single source for everything from lead gen to crew management. It's all custom-coded for reliability, not brittle plugins.
How secure is the candidate data in your recruiting system?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive info like certifications and backgrounds. We use enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access to protect data. AI processing happens on secure servers with audit trails for every action. In home services, where trust is key, we've ensured zero breaches for clients handling pool client details too. Your system is owned by you, so you control data retention—unlike subscription tools that hoard it. Regular updates keep it ahead of threats, giving peace of mind during high-volume hires.
What's the typical ROI timeline for implementing this in a pool service business?
Most clients see ROI within 2-3 months. For a 20-person pool firm, that's often $20K-$40K saved on recruiting fees and lost productivity. Break it down: cut 15 hours/week on admin at $50/hour, plus faster hires reducing vacancy costs by $5K per role. We include ROI trackers in the dashboard to monitor metrics like cost-per-hire dropping 40%. One operator recouped the build cost in one season by avoiding turnover during a drought year. It's built for quick wins, with efficiency gains compounding as the AI learns your patterns.
Do you provide training for my team on using the recruiting AI?
Yes, comprehensive training is included. We start with hands-on sessions tailored to pool service roles—managers learn to review AI recommendations, while field leads get mobile app overviews for quick approvals. Followed by video guides and a custom knowledge base for ongoing reference. For a Florida-based client, this meant their ops team was proficient in a week, handling 50% more screenings independently. We also offer quarterly check-ins to optimize, ensuring your team leverages it fully without disrupting daily pool routes or client calls.
