Alex AI
Alex AI is a recruiting platform from Apriora Inc., doing business as Alex. It covers outreach, resume screening, candidate interviews, verification, and scheduling while keeping the hiring team involved throughout. Talent Match uses natural-language matching to rediscover qualified past applicants in an applicant tracking system. Resume scoring compares candidates with role criteria and summarizes strengths, gaps, and alignment in plain language. Alex runs personalized two-way screening interviews by video, phone, SMS, or WhatsApp, with interviews in 26+ languages and 24-hour availability. Verification can check a government ID and live selfie, flag possible fraud, and identify signs of cheating. A coordinator books qualified candidates on the team calendar and manages briefings, confirmations, reminders, and rescheduling. Alex says it supports 33+ ATS integrations, including Workday, iCIMS, Greenhouse, Lever, SmartRecruiters, and SAP SuccessFactors. It states that interviews create records of questions, responses, and evaluated criteria, and that final hiring decisions remain with the team.
