Find and recruit

Interview commitments

Promise an interview to residents who show the skills you name. Residents see it only after you confirm it, with your name, the role and the evidence you ask for.

Built from Skill-evidence paths that residents work toward inside Alex for Workforce

A pre-commitment, not a job board. Residents see your commitment only after you confirm it, with your name, the role and the evidence you ask for.

You are on Free. 0 of 3 tools in Find and recruit are open to you. See what the other 3 add.

This is a service delivered by the Alex team, not a self-serve screen. Premium unlocks this.

What an engagement covers

  • An interview promised to residents who show the skills you name
  • Listed for residents on Alex for Workforce once you confirm it, with your name, the role and the evidence you ask for

No employer has confirmed an interview commitment yet, so residents see none today. The first employers to confirm one will be the first shown.
