Protect the consultant time clients depend on

At Tech Holding, a technical interview draws on the same expertise clients are paying the firm to deliver. When a consultant steps away from a project to assess a candidate, the cost reaches beyond the recruiting team. Sending the right people into those conversations matters.

The firm recruits for demanding technical roles across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Clients can need qualified, vetted candidates ready for review within a week. Andrew McAlister, VP of Talent Acquisition, leads a lean recruiting operation that must keep pace with changing technologies, specialized requirements, and different time zones.

Working through hundreds of résumés could consume days. Even then, a polished application could conceal gaps that only emerged when a technical interviewer began asking questions.

Choose the interview the team would stand behind

Tech Holding first adopted Alex to bring that evaluation forward. Before making a longer-term commitment, Andrew spoke with five other providers and tested an alternative. The comparison made the qualities he valued clearer.

Alex followed candidates’ answers with questions Andrew says he would have asked himself. His team could change questions and job details quickly as client requirements shifted. Interview quality, day-to-day usability, and responsive support ultimately brought Tech Holding back to Alex.

The Greenhouse integration also mattered. Interview activity could become part of the recruiting workflow, with less need to manage separate systems. Alex is now the standardized first evaluation layer for the firm’s roles.

Start the morning with evidence to review

Alex conducts interviews around the clock. Recruiters review scored, recorded conversations and apply their judgment before advancing candidates to the firm’s technical interviewers. With hiring spread across regions, candidates can complete the first round while the recruiting team is offline.

For one urgent role with 500 applicants, dozens of completed interviews were ready the next morning. That gave the team substantive candidate responses to work with at the start of the day.

Alex also surfaces signals such as VPN use, location mismatches, and possible answer-reading for human review. For a firm that has encountered candidates misrepresenting their identity, those signals give recruiters specific points to investigate before a potential client engagement.

Expand screening without diverting more consultant time

Tech Holding completed more than 2,700 Alex interviews in 2026 without increasing recruiting headcount. In total, 15 candidates who interviewed with Alex went on to be hired.

“Alex gives our team interviewing capacity that is always available, with multiple candidates interviewed at the same time.”

The team now starts with scored, recorded conversations and directs deeper evaluation toward better-matched candidates. Recruiters have more evidence for their decisions, while technical interviewers can focus on candidates who have already passed the first evaluation. That protects the consulting time on which client delivery depends.
