About Alex

Alex interviews, screens, and schedules every candidate – over voice, video, and text – so talent teams hire more great people, faster, without adding TA headcount. The recruiter stays in control: every shortlist is approved by a human, and every relationship and offer is owned by the customer's team. We're past 1M+ interviews, integrate with 33+ ATS platforms, and 96% of candidates prefer interviewing with Alex. We're revenue-generating, well-funded, backed by premier investors, and are focused on enterprise customers: selling to VPs of Talent Acquisition, CHROs, and CFOs at large employers who are rethinking how hiring gets done at scale.
