Do we have to move off our ATS?

Alphie runs inside your ATS. It utilizes your current candidate pool to handle sourcing, screening, candidate communication and interview scheduling for you.

What exactly does Alphie handle for us?

Sourcing the top 5 best fits for each open role from your existing candidate pool, running 15-minute voice screening interviews, scheduling the interviews with your team, and writing and sending approval and rejection emails. You handle the decisions.

How is candidate data handled?

Candidate data handled through Alphie — including interview recordings and reports — is stored securely on Alphie's encrypted servers. It is never shared with, or visible to, anyone outside your company, and never becomes part of Alphie's broader candidate pool. This includes a signed Data Processing Agreement (DPA), EU-region-only processing and storage, and an audit log of every Alphie API call into your ATS instance.

A one-off setup fee to build and connect Alphie to your ATS, plus a monthly subscription scoped to your hiring volume. Book an intro call and we scope it to your roles.

Comparison

Alphie Recruiter vs Eightfold AI

Updated 26 August 2026

Short answer: Eightfold AI is an enterprise talent intelligence platform — skills inference, talent pools, internal mobility, workforce planning. Alphie is a much narrower, faster-to-deploy assistant that lives in the ATS you already use and does the hiring work: rediscovery, voice screening, scheduling and candidate replies.

When Eightfold is the better fit

If you are an enterprise solving workforce-level problems — skills taxonomies, internal mobility, succession, diversity analytics across tens of thousands of employees — that is Eightfold's territory and a lightweight assistant will not replace it.

When Alphie is the better fit

If your problem is that ten open roles are moving too slowly and nobody has time to work the pipeline, Alphie is the smaller, cheaper, faster answer. It does not ask you to change systems, build a taxonomy or run a procurement cycle.

Data boundaries

Alphie never pools candidate data across customers. Each company's candidates, recordings and reports stay inside that company's workspace, processed and stored in the EU, covered by a signed DPA, with every ATS API call audit-logged.

Hiring a handful of roles, not a workforce?

Alphie plugs into your ATS and starts working the pipeline this week.
