Its two psychometric assessments (logic and personality) combine AI and machine learning with psychometrics and organisational psychology to streamline the hiring process and create a meritocratic experience for recruiters and applicants. Having navigated through the pandemic and the recent tech slowdown, the company has doubled its revenues each year since 2018. In 2022 alone, the team has grown 56%, from 48 to 75 employees, with Alva raising an €11.7m Series A funding in January. Customers included the likes of Deloitte and Northvolt.
