Betsy Robinson

CEO, Tier4 Group

Traditionally in recruitment, there is a limit on the number of candidates that a recruiter can talk to in a day. Alex is a game changer, with every interested candidate being considered for the role.

Brian Cunningham

Managing Director, Allen Recruitment

Alex functions like a supercharged recruiting associate: it asks smart questions, surfaces key insights, and dramatically speeds up our screening process. Our recruiters focus on deeper conversations and higher-value work.

Patrick Coggins

CEO, CFO’s Domain

Alex even identified two amazing candidates that our professors did not initially shortlist because their CVs were not well aligned with the advertisement. We ended up moving forward with both.
