AI recruiter that interviews every candidate
Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27
Overview
Alex was founded in 2023 as Apriora, went through Y Combinator and rebranded to Alex. It says it has run over 1 million interviews, integrates with 33+ ATS platforms and has raised about $20 million. Pricing is not public, and it focuses on first-round interviews rather than sourcing, so teams still need a separate way to find candidates.
Our verdict
Alex is a focused AI interviewer with solid ATS coverage and a human approval step. Pair it with a sourcing tool, and confirm pricing and candidate experience in a pilot.
Best for
Enterprise talent teams that want first-round interviews at scale without adding recruiters.
Avoid if
You need a sourcing tool or have only a handful of applicants per role.
Pros
- Interviews every candidate, not only a shortlist
- Works across voice, video and text
- Human approval on shortlists
Cons
