Alex

Alex is a San Francisco AI recruiting company whose voice and video agents conduct candidate interviews, screening, and scheduling at scale. Spun out of Y Combinator (W24, formerly Apriora), Alex automates the early, repetitive stages of hiring - phone screens, resume reviews, identity verification, and coordination - across video, phone, SMS, and WhatsApp in 26 languages. The platform has interviewed more than a million candidates for Fortune 100 companies, major banks, national restaurant chains, and Big 4 firms, cutting time-to-hire while letting human recruiters focus on relationships and final decisions.
