Gigin AI vs Alex
Gigin AI vs Alex (formerly Apriora): AI Interviewing Platforms Compared
Both platforms automate candidate screening at scale. Alex conducts structured video interviews and has strong scale and adoption. Gigin AI runs a voice-first assessment call, actively sources candidates into the funnel, and pairs the assessment with a native ATS - so screening isn't a standalone tool.

What Alex does well
Structured, standardized interviews at scale.
Alex conducts role-specific video interviews with objective rubrics, engaging applicants the moment they apply across multiple channels.
Broad language and ATS coverage.
Alex supports interviews in dozens of languages and connects into a wide range of existing ATS platforms - a strong fit for teams that already have a hiring stack in place and just need the screening layer.
Established scale and adoption.
Alex has interviewed a large volume of candidates in production and has meaningful market traction - it isn't an unproven tool.
Where Alex falls short
Video-first adds friction.
Candidates need a camera, decent bandwidth, and a quiet, presentable setting to complete a video interview. High-volume roles - retail, BPO, field, and shift work - see candidates drop off rather than set up for video.
Screening only - not sourcing.
Alex interviews the applicants who already reach you. It doesn't reach into a passive candidate pool to fill a thin top of funnel.
No native ATS.
Alex is built to plug into your existing ATS. If you don't already have one, or want one platform instead of a stack, that's an added system and cost.
What changes with Gigin
A phone call, not a video appointment.
Gia calls the candidate directly - no app, no camera, no scheduled slot. For high-volume and frontline roles, that's the difference between a completed assessment and a candidate who never starts one.
Sourcing and screening in one workflow.
Gia pulls new candidates from a 100M+ pool when your funnel is thin, then screens them - you're not limited to whoever already applied.
One platform, not a bolt-on.
Gigin's native ATS holds the pipeline end to end, and still connects to Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Lever, or Workday if you're already on one of those.
