Built for hiring across more than just engineering

Four reasons recruiting leaders pick AceUnlock when every hire matters.

Frequently asked questions

How is AceUnlock different from Alex (Apriora)?
Alex is strong for engineering hiring, with built-in coding and system-design assessments at the center of its product. AceUnlock is a general-purpose AI interviewer designed to span technical, business, and operations roles — with multi-channel cheat and identity detection (audio, text, and video), a fully customizable rubric per role, and an embeddable widget that lets you display jobs and candidates without an ATS integration project.
Does AceUnlock work with my ATS?
Yes — AceUnlock integrates with leading ATS platforms including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn, BambooHR, SmartRecruiters, Workable, JobVite, JazzHR, and UKG Pro. You can also start with our embeddable widget today and add a full integration later.
How does AceUnlock help me trust who I'm hiring?
AceUnlock analyzes signals across audio (voice patterns, response timing), text (response analysis), and video (visual presence checks) to flag interviews where a candidate may be receiving outside help from generative AI, scripts, or a stand-in — purpose-built for hiring in the era of widely available AI tools.
Can I customize the evaluation criteria?
Yes. AceUnlock's rubric is fully customizable per role — define your own competencies, set the weights, and the AI scores candidates against your specific bar. Hiring managers shape the evaluation, not the other way around.
How quickly can my team get started?
You can be live in minutes. Sign up, configure a role and rubric, and either share a candidate link or drop our embeddable widget onto your careers page or internal dashboard — no engineering work required.
Can I try AceUnlock before committing?
Yes. Every paid plan includes a 7-day free trial. You can also book a live demo to see the product in action with your own role and rubric.
