Question 1

How is Alfa different from a faster ATS or a sourcing plugin?

Accepted Answer

Alfa is not a tool a recruiter operates. It runs the role end-to-end: writes the brief with you, sources candidates from across the web, screens and interviews them on voice or video, and only hands back the people worth your time. Most platforms make a recruiter slightly faster; Alfa absorbs the work entirely so a single recruiter can run dozens of roles at once.

Question 2

Where does Alfa actually source candidates from?

Accepted Answer

Alfa searches the open web, professional networks, job boards, your past applicants, and any talent pools you connect, not a single fixed database. Every shortlisted profile is verified against a live source, with the link surfaced on the candidate card so you can see exactly where the person came from and what evidence backed the match.

Question 3

How accurate is the screening, and how do I know I can trust it?

Accepted Answer

Every candidate ships with a structured scorecard tied to your specific brief: requirements met, gaps, supporting evidence, and a confidence score. You can listen back to the full interview audio, read the transcript, and override any score. Customers typically see 70–90% of Alfa’s shortlists progress to a human interview, and we publish our calibration metrics on request.

Question 4

How does Alfa stay compliant with bias laws like NYC 144, the EU AI Act, and GDPR?

Accepted Answer

Alfa is built for AEDT regimes from the ground up. We run quarterly third-party bias audits and publish the results, anonymise demographic attributes before scoring, log every automated decision for the GDPR right-to-explanation, and provide candidate notices and human-review paths out of the box. Enterprise customers receive a full DPIA pack.

Question 5

Does Alfa integrate with our ATS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alfa has native, two-way integrations with Greenhouse, Ashby, Workable, Lever, Teamtailor, SmartRecruiters, Bullhorn, and any Kombo-supported ATS, plus an open REST API and webhooks. Jobs, stages, candidates, notes, and interview feedback sync both directions in real time, so your ATS stays the system of record.

Question 6

How do candidates feel about being interviewed by an AI?

Accepted Answer

They love it, because the alternative is silence. Candidates can interview the moment they apply, in their own time zone, on their phone, and get a clear answer within days instead of weeks. Average completion rate is over 80% and post-interview NPS sits above +45, higher than most human-only processes.

Question 7

How fast can we go live?

Accepted Answer

About 10 minutes. Sign up, point Alfa at a job, and you can be screening candidates the same morning. It is fully self-serve, so there is no implementation project, no calibration phase, and no waiting on us. Connect your ATS in a couple of clicks whenever you are ready and Alfa will start pushing shortlists straight into it.

Question 8

How is our data, and our candidates’ data, protected?

Accepted Answer

SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, GDPR and UK GDPR compliant, EU data residency available. Your data is never used to train shared models. Candidate data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with full audit logging, role-based access, SSO, and SCIM provisioning on enterprise plans.

Question 9

Does Alfa replace recruiters?

Accepted Answer

No. Alfa removes the parts of the job that drain you (searching, screening, scheduling, chasing) and protects the parts that make you great: relationships, judgement calls, closing offers. A recruiter using Alfa will out-hire a recruiter who isn’t, several times over.
