Most hiring processes bring consistent evidence in too late

CVs and unstructured interviews do not apply one consistent, job-relevant standard to every candidate. By the time stronger evidence reaches the decision, early impressions may already have shaped the shortlist.

CV filters cut too early

A CV screen can remove a candidate before anything job-relevant has been measured

No two interviews match

Unstructured interviews ask different things of different candidates, so the answers can't be held side by side

Assessments set one standard

Psychometric assessments apply the same job-relevant measure to every candidate, early enough to shape the shortlist

Alva connects it to the role

Results tie back to the role criteria, and the agent prepares the next interview for your review

How it works

Know how a candidate approaches the role before the interview

Role Fit connects each candidate’s assessment results to the criteria set for the role. Alva then explains the evidence and prepares interview material for your review.

  1. Measure consistently

    DNV-certified Logic and Personality Tests measure job-relevant ability and personality, calibrated on data from 1.5 million candidates.

  2. Connect the evidence to the role

    Role Fit maps each candidate's results to the criteria and weighting defined for the role.

  3. Prepare the next conversation

    Alva explains the results and drafts interview material that your team can review and edit before use.

Powerful alone. More powerful in the right context.

The logic test in Alva is one input in a structured evaluation of skills, background and personality to weigh in all signals against role-specific criteria. The result is always interpreted in context alongside other evidence against the criteria defined for the role.

“Through Alva Labs, we get a clearer picture of each candidate's strengths and areas for development. This helps us select people who not only have the right technical skills but also fit into our culture and have the potential to grow with us in the long term.”
