The agentic hiring system your team can actually run

Q: How is it different from an ATS?

An ATS stores applications and tracks where each candidate is. An agentic hiring system does that and prepares the work between the stages: it screens against the role criteria, books the next step, drafts the feedback and scores the interview. The evidence stays with the candidate instead of being rebuilt before each decision. Alva does all of this and more. The applicant tracking functionality is built in, so there's no need for a separate ATS. But Alva goes further, incorporating all the science and resources required to make confident, evidence-based hiring decisions. The result is not just a more efficient process, but consistently better hires.

Q: Does Alva replace our ATS?

Yes. Alva Agentic Hiring System includes applicant tracking, so your team runs hiring in Alva and connects hire data to your HRIS. Teams that want to keep their ATS for now can run Alva's assessments and AI assistant alongside it through Agentic Psychometrics.

Q: Can we keep our own hiring process?

Yes. You set the role criteria, the assessment plan and the stages. Where your process has repeated work that no standard workflow covers, you define the output once and save it as a skill the agent runs every time that role opens.

Q: Does the AI decide who gets hired?

No. The agent prepares work and suggests, and a person approves before anything reaches a candidate. Nothing is auto-rejected. Every action is recorded against the candidate, and Alva's AI management is certified to ISO 42001.

Q: Which assessments are included, and are they certified?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Sed tortor pharetra enim mauris amet. Congue velit sit enim sit quis. Penatibus magna diam a cursus eget. Lorem eu iaculis arcu erat massa consequat nulla.

The agent prepares the repeatable work at every stage, from the intake call to the offer. Every candidate reaches your decision with the evidence against the same role criteria, in one scorecard. Your team makes the call.

What is an agentic hiring system?

An agentic hiring system runs the whole hiring process and uses an AI agent to prepare the repeatable work inside it: role setup, screening, scheduling, interview scoring and candidate follow-up.

It holds the candidate record, so it takes the place of a separate ATS and a separate assessment tool. People review the prepared work and make every hiring decision.

Monday morning

You were away for a week.
The hiring kept moving.

Candidates were screened against the role criteria, interviews were booked, drafts were written. What needed a person is waiting in one queue: the nudges, the drafted rejections, the decisions. You review, edit what you want, approve.

Waiting for you

The agent keeps your hiring moving

Five stages, one candidate record. The role criteria you set at the start are the same criteria every stage is measured against.

Screen high volume without the backlog

Hundreds of applications land over a weekend. The agent screens them against the role criteria and hands you the decisions with the evidence behind each one. You confirm, you don't start from zero.

Turn interviews into ready decisions

When an interview ends, the transcript, scorecard evidence and a suggested next step are waiting for hiring managers to edit and approve.

Book the next step without chasing

Approve a candidate and the agent checks calendars, offers times and books the interview for you.

Build the skills your roles need

Start from Alva's ready-made agents, or define your own: what good output looks like for a role, saved once and reused every time that role opens.

Alva Labs rejection draft shown before and after a recruiter’s edit where a generic line is replaced with a specific one citing the candidate’s data reasoning result, and the change is applied to the next draft. Annotation: your edit is captured and applied to the next draft.

Teach it your standard

Every edit you make is captured. Rewrite a draft or override a recommendation, and the next one comes back closer to how you would have done it.

“Alva Labs is a crucial part of our recruiting process. It keeps everything clean and up to date, all candidate info in one place, and the customisation options help us shape the process to fit how we actually work. As a user it's easy to learn, and improvements are implemented super fast.”
