## What the story says

Orange Tree Staffing uses Alex as a first-round AI interviewer, integrated into its applicant tracking system Tracker, for open roles where candidates are invited based on résumé-fit criteria. Recruiters review the interview recordings, transcripts and scores to decide next steps.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Alex and Orange Tree Staffing, not ours.

> A year after adopting Alex, recruiters report reclaiming 20–30% of their time. They are putting it into those relationships, including outreach to districts that already have contracts with Orange Tree Staffing but rarely contact the firm.

- **100%**: “Alex is now enabled across 100% of the firm’s open jobs, more than 400 active roles, with invitations still triggered by résumé-fit criteria.”
- **One in four**: “One in four Alex interviews takes place outside 9-to-5 hours, extending candidate access without asking a recruiter to conduct the conversation after work.”

> Integration with Tracker gives our recruiters visibility into Alex’s work. That visibility builds the trust that drives adoption.
