AI recruiter conducts thousands of interviews daily.

Alex raised $17M Series A led by Peak XV Partners. The YC startup automates initial job screening through voice AI, serving Fortune 100 companies, financial institutions, and restaurant chains.

Key metrics:
• Thousands of interviews conducted daily
• Fortune 100 clients including Big 4 accounting firms
• $3M seed → $17M Series A in 18 months
• Peak XV Partners led with YC participation

How it happened:
• Aaron Wang (ex-Facebook, quant background) identified recruiter bottleneck
• Built voice AI for autonomous video/phone screening
• Targeted enterprise clients with compliance needs
• Leveraged YC network for customer acquisition
• Proved daily volume at scale before Series A
• CHROs from Fortune 500 companies joined funding round

Takeaway: Automate the grunt work, not the relationship building.
