Our Custom AI Recruiting Automation – Built for Your Renovation Workflow

We've helped over 50 construction firms integrate AI that understands the grit of site work and the precision of trades hiring.

Why Choose Us

Let's be honest, renovation contracting means you're always one skilled hand short – whether it's a finicky tile setter or a reliable framing crew. Here's the thing: generic recruiting tools just don't cut it for your world of OSHA certs, fluctuating project timelines, and seasonal surges. We build a tailored AI system that plugs right into your tools like Procore or Buildertrend. It sources candidates from niche networks, screens for hands-on experience, and even predicts fit based on past project data. No more spreadsheets or missed deadlines. You're probably thinking, 'Can this really handle our chaos?' It does – because we design it from your blueprints up, ensuring every automation feels like an extension of your foreman's clipboard.

What Makes Us Different:

AI scans resumes for specific skills like HVAC troubleshooting or historic restoration
Automates outreach to local trade schools and union halls for immediate needs
Integrates with your scheduling to flag conflicts before they derail a pour

Unlock Time and Cost Wins That Keep Your Projects on Track

Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Sourcing

Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Sourcing: Imagine your site supervisor skipping endless LinkedIn scrolls for certified pipefitters during a commercial plumbing retrofit deadline—our AI delivers pre-vetted pros with union credentials right to your mobile dashboard. That's hours reclaimed for overseeing rebar inspections, not endless searches, resulting in crews that ramp up fast and keep multimillion-dollar builds on schedule and under budget by 10-15%.

Boost ROI with 40% Faster Time-to-Hire

Boost ROI with 40% Faster Time-to-Hire: In construction, bids hinge on rapid mobilization—delayed hires idle your crane operators and frustrate general contractors. Our automation slashes hiring from 4-6 weeks to under 10 days by matching candidates with verified experience in structural steel erection or precision welding, proven via past project portfolios. Outcome? Productivity surges 25% as teams hammer away at deadlines without recruitment bottlenecks.

Slash Agency Fees by 35% and Reduce Turnover

Slash Agency Fees by 35% and Cut Turnover: Temp agencies drain budgets during factory expansions or roofing seasons, especially for niche skills like HVAC ductwork or robotic arm programming. Our AI automates precise matching to minimize agency use, factoring in on-site temperament for better retention—spotting those who thrive in high-pressure fab shops. One manufacturing client pocketed $50K in savings over six months, with turnover dropping 60% and zero retraining for conveyor line setups.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, Fridays were lost hunting plumbers with backflow certification for our high-rise condo flip—total chaos with delayed pours. Now, the system overnight identifies licensed pros with multi-story urban reno experience. We hired three solid ones last month, wrapped the project two weeks ahead, and saved $8K by ditching temp markups on overtime labor."

Mike Harlan

Operations Manager, Urban Restore Contractors

"Our legacy process buried us in 100+ apps for timber framing crews, with half missing load-bearing expertise. Integrating this AI with our Procore bidding software halved our search time to days. We assembled a reliable team for a 1920s warehouse gut reno without the typical permitting delays or skill gaps."

Sara Lopez

HR Lead, Heritage Build Co.

"Seasonal booms for patio deck installations and outdoor enclosures were a nightmare—manual calendars caused welder no-shows and scaffold rescheduling. Post-implementation, interviews auto-sync with our Fieldwire site logs, dropping vacancy from 15% to 4% this peak summer. No more idle crews waiting on hires during the rainy season rush."

Common Questions

How does this AI handle the unique skills needed for renovation work?

Renovation isn't cookie-cutter – it demands folks who can handle everything from delicate period restorations to modern gut jobs. Our custom AI is trained on industry-specific data, parsing resumes for keywords like 'lead abatement' or 'custom millwork' that generic tools miss. We tailor it to your niche, say historic homes, by integrating your past hire data. This means faster matches for skilled tradespeople who won't slow your timeline. Clients see a 40% drop in mismatched hires, freeing your team for actual building rather than retraining. It's all built to your workflow, ensuring efficiency without the fluff.

What if my crew size fluctuates with project bids?

You're probably thinking, 'Projects come and go – one month it's a full kitchen reno crew, the next it's downtime.' That's why we design scalability in from day one. The AI ramps up sourcing during bid wins, pulling from expanded networks like trade apprenticeships, and dials back during lulls to avoid overstaffing costs. It integrates with your bidding software to forecast needs based on upcoming contracts. One contractor we worked with handled a 200% crew surge for a multi-unit flip without missing a beat, saving 15 hours weekly on manual adjustments. No rigid limits – just flexible automation that matches your project's pulse.

Is this secure for handling sensitive employee data on job sites?

Security is non-negotiable in construction, where you're dealing with certs, payroll ties, and site access logs. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, plus construction-specific regs for worker data. Your info stays in a unified, owned system – no cloud roulette with third parties. Access controls let foremen view only what's needed, like a candidate's welding cert for a structural job. We've audited systems for firms facing union scrutiny, ensuring zero breaches. Here's the thing: it's as robust as your site's perimeter fencing, giving you peace of mind while automating hires.

How quickly can we see ROI after implementation?

Let's be honest, you need wins fast in renovation – delays cost real money. Most clients see measurable savings within the first hire cycle, often 4-6 weeks. For example, automating screening cuts time-to-hire by 50%, translating to $5K-$10K saved per role on agency fees alone. We track metrics like hours saved (aim for 15-20/week) and productivity boosts from filled positions. One team reported a 30% cost drop on their next bathroom remodel project. We provide a post-launch report to quantify it, adjusting as needed. It's ROI-driven from the start, not some long-term gamble.

Can it integrate with our existing tools like estimating software?

Absolutely – integration is our bread and butter. If you're using tools like PlanSwift for estimates or Fieldwire for site management, we create deep, two-way connections so recruiting data flows seamlessly. Say you're bidding a flooring job; the AI flags candidates with laminate expertise directly in your pipeline. No more copy-pasting between apps. We've linked with over 20 construction platforms, handling the quirks like variable data formats. This eliminates silos, much like streamlining subs on a site. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, and it scales without breaking – because we build it custom, not as a clunky add-on.

What support do you offer after launch?

We're not ghosting you post-build – that's the opposite of field-tested reliability. You get ongoing support with a dedicated engineer for the first 90 days, including monthly check-ins to refine based on your hires, like tweaking for better matches on HVAC roles. Unlimited tweaks for evolving needs, plus training for your team on using the dashboard during crew onboarding. Our clients in manufacturing renos appreciate the proactive alerts, like when sourcing pools dry up seasonally. It's like having an extra foreman for your digital tools – warm, professional, and always available to keep things humming.
