An honest, side-by-side breakdown of Alex AI and Toggl Hire — plus why forward-thinking recruiting teams are choosing InterviewFlowAI instead.
Both tools serve the recruiting and hiring space — but they take very different approaches. Here's what each platform actually does.
Apriora's AI recruiter for interviews, resume screening, and recruiting automation
Alex AI is the public-facing AI recruiter from Apriora. It conducts live phone and video interviews, adds resume screening and verification signals, helps with scheduling and talent rediscovery, and connects with 33+ ATS platforms.
Strengths
Limitations
Skills tests and async video for objective, CV-free hiring
Toggl Hire (formerly Hundred5) used skills-based testing and asynchronous video questions to replace CV screening. NOTE: Toggl officially announced the retirement of Toggl Hire in 2025, sunsetting the product to focus on its other tools. The platform is no longer active for new customers.
