Alva

Alva builds a science-backed, agentic hiring system that helps organizations make consistent, evidence-based recruitment decisions. Founded in Stockholm, the platform combines adaptive psychometric assessments, structured interviews, applicant tracking, candidate management, and AI-assisted workflow automation. Its assessments evaluate logic, personality, leadership, behavior, and technical skills, while the Agentic Hiring System connects job design, sourcing, screening, interviews, reporting, and hiring decisions in one pipeline. Hiring teams retain control of criteria and final decisions, while the AI handles repeatable administrative work and organizes the evidence behind every candidate.

Alva applies decades of industrial-organizational psychology to hiring through methods including adaptive testing, structured interviews, and composite scoring. Its DNV-certified assessments have been calibrated using results from more than 1.5 million candidates, and the company reports that more than 650 organizations use its platform. Teams can either add Alva's decision-support capabilities to an existing ATS through more than 250 integrations or use its built-in ATS as the system of record. The company brings together psychologists, engineers, designers, recruiters, and customer-success specialists to make rigorous hiring practices accessible to talent teams worldwide.
