How Alfa AI Helped a Single Mum Land Her Dream Job In 24 Hours

Improving The Candidate Experience

Juggling job applications as a parent can feel like running an obstacle course. For Janice, a single mum, it felt nearly impossible. Twice, she had rescheduled job interviews at the last minute, once because her child fell sick at nursery. Both times, despite her apologies and quick communication, she was told the roles had already been filled. She felt disheartened, unsure if she’d ever get a fair shot.

That’s when she discovered Alfa AI. Instead of waiting for a recruiter to become available or worrying about booking an interview slot around unpredictable childcare, she uploaded her CV and let Lisa, Alfa’s AI Recruiter, take over. Lisa immediately screened her application using artificial intelligence, checking for key qualifications and experience for a local admin role. She passed.

What happened next surprised her. Lisa invited her to complete an AI interview instantly, no waiting, no scheduling. She completed the interview after putting her child to bed, in the quiet of her kitchen. Just her and the opportunity to show what she could do.

Within 24 hours, she heard back from the hiring manager. They were so impressed by her interview recording that they offered her the job on the spot.

She later said it was the first time in months that she felt the hiring process worked with her, not against her. No stress, no judgment, just a fast, fair chance to shine. Alfa AI’s technology doesn’t just speed up recruitment. It gives people a real shot at opportunities, no matter their circumstances. And for one mum, it meant finally hearing the words she’d been waiting for: you got the job.
