We Raised $2.8M to Build the AI Future of Interviewing

AI is evolving the talent landscape

Generative AI is transforming the world of talent acquisition, leaving recruiting teams with increasingly difficult problems to address.

• Talent pool or talent ocean? As candidates leverage automation tools to apply for hundreds of positions everyday, how will recruiting teams find needle-in-the-haystack candidates from an ocean of indistinguishable applications?
  
• Building a skills-based organization. As candidates leverage AI to design keyword resumes and personalized cover letters, how can recruiting teams scalably evaluate candidates based on merit and fit, not by how well candidates market themselves?
  
• Focusing on worthwhile candidates. How can recruiting teams protect their time and focus on connecting with and closing the most promising candidates?

Apriora’s AI interviewer, Alex, helps solve these problems by conducting live interviews over video and phone that generate better hiring insights than traditional recruiters while providing a personalized, conversational experience that candidates prefer over any other screening tool. Today, Alex conducts thousands of interviews for numerous customers of all sizes across sectors like software engineering, retail, hospitality, and customer service. And we’re just getting started.

Better data. Better hires.

Apriora gives recruiting teams an expert interviewer on-demand. Recruiting teams love Apriora because the interview insights are:

• Deeply predictive. Interviews are conducted by Alex over a live video call. Alex is a subject matter expert and knows the best questions and follow-up questions to ask in real-time based on the candidate’s responses. After the interview, Alex analyzes the interview’s multi-modal data to generate a truly predictive hiring signal, so companies can feel confident in making hiring decisions backed by data.
• Time-saving. Alex is available to interview candidates at night, on weekends, and even over the holidays. Interview feedback and insights are written instantaneously and sent directly to the company’s ATS (applicant tracking system).
• Customizable. Every company and every role is different, which is why every interview process on Apriora is customizable. Companies can create their interview processes for a particular role in a matter of minutes based on the job description and other information like intake notes and position seniority.
• Cheat-resistant. Interview integrity is paramount to the hiring process, which is why Apriora built a proprietary cheat detection system. During the interview, Alex monitors for signs of cheating such as generative AI usage, tab changes, and copy pasting. After each interview, companies receive a comprehensive report that flags unfair interview behavior.
