Instead of recruiters spending hours on repetitive screening calls, Alex’s AI steps in to handle early-stage interviews — from checking availability to asking about salary expectations. For job seekers, this means more automated interviews at the start of the hiring process.
How Alex’s AI Recruiter Works
Alex, the AI-powered recruiting startup, has built a voice AI tool that conducts phone and video interviews within hours of a candidate applying. According to co-founder Aaron Wang, Alex already processes thousands of interviews daily, helping companies quickly identify qualified candidates.
Wang, who previously worked at Facebook and as a hedge fund quant, said Fortune 100 firms, restaurant chains, and Big 4 accounting firms are already using the platform. While he didn’t reveal customer names, he noted that Alex is scaling with some of the largest employers in the world.
Backed By Major Investors
The announcement that AI recruiter Alex raises $17M to automate initial job interviews comes as part of its Series A round led by Peak XV Partners. Other investors include Y Combinator, Uncorrelated Ventures, and several Fortune 500 CHROs.
This round follows Alex’s $3 million seed funding in 2024 from 1984 Ventures, showing strong confidence from both venture capitalists and HR leaders that AI-led recruiting is here to stay.
Competition In AI Recruiting
Alex isn’t alone in trying to reshape the hiring process. Startups like HeyMilo, ConverzAI, and Ribbon are also developing AI recruiting platforms. But Alex’s traction with enterprise clients and its ability to automate thousands of interviews daily could give it a competitive edge.
What This Means For Job Seekers And Employers
For employers, AI interviewers reduce the bottleneck in early hiring stages, allowing recruiters to focus on later, more human-driven interviews. For candidates, it means quicker responses after applying — though some may worry about the lack of human interaction early on.
Still, the funding signals that AI recruiter Alex raises $17M to automate initial job interviews at a time when efficiency and scale are top priorities for HR teams worldwide.
