PRODUCTS / ALICE
Public sector and enterprise

The CV has stopped telling you who can do the job.

Beyond the CV: assessment-first hiring for employers who need to get it right. ALICE assesses every candidate on skills, competencies, values or recognised frameworks, with no CV and no personal details, so your shortlist is built on evidence.
Trusted by UK Fire & Rescue Services and enterprise companies

The problem today
AI writes the CV.
Polished, keyword-matched and increasingly alike. The writing no longer tells you about the writer.
One click applies.
Applying costs nothing, so volume goes up and the signal goes down.
Spam fills the funnel.
Your team spends its time sifting paperwork instead of people.
ALICE flips the funnel.
Assess first, with no CV and no personal details, so the evidence comes before the paperwork.

Not just new recruitment
Your next leaders already work for you. Promote them on evidence too.
Already proven in promotion rounds.
Fire and rescue services use ALICE to run internal promotion rounds, not only to recruit.
One standard for every candidate.
Every applicant for the role is assessed against the same criteria, with the rationale shown.
Evidence, not familiarity.
Responses are assessed without names, so people are judged on what they say, not on who knows them.
Hire and promote on the same platform.
For public sector and enterprise alike, the same assessments that bring people in help you decide who steps up.

Integrity
Fair to every candidate who answers in their own words.
Deterrents designed to protect honest candidates. Anything unusual is flagged for human review, and decisions stay with your assessors.
Timed application flows
Set time windows so responses reflect the candidate's own thinking.
Copy-and-paste lockout
Answers are typed in the application, not pasted in from elsewhere.
Questions that revisit earlier answers
Second-stage questions build on what the candidate said before.
Campaign anomaly report
Flags unusual patterns across a campaign for your team to review.
Available now
Audio and video interviews
An alternative to written responses. ALICE interviews in real time, in any language, so answers come from the candidate in the moment.
Audio and video, on every assessment
An interviewer that listens, not a script that recites.
Available on all six assessment types. Candidates choose written answers, or a real-time audio or video interview with ALICE: a modern take on assessment, scored with the same rigour against the same brief.
A real conversation
ALICE engages in natural discussion, challenges answers and presses for more detail where it matters.
Follows the candidate's reasoning
Follow-up questions are built from what the candidate has just said, not read from a list.
Free to explore, always on brief
The conversation can take several routes, but every area of the assessment brief is covered.
Real time, in any language
Candidates can be interviewed in the language they are most comfortable in.

Tell me about a time you had to make a decision quickly with incomplete information.
Candidate
A supplier pulled out the day before a launch. I escalated it to my manager and we moved to a backup.
AALICEFollow-up
You chose to escalate rather than act alone. What made that the right call, and what would have changed your mind?

Responses only
ALICE judges what candidates say, never how they look or sound. It does not look for facial, vocal or behavioural signals or markers that could introduce bias.
Trust & compliance
Designed to remove bias signals, and built for audit.
Designed to remove bias signals
• No names, photos or protected characteristics seen
• Each response evaluated in isolation
• No profiling, no learning from previous candidates
Privacy & data sovereignty
• All data currently processed in the UK, with zero international transfers
• Built to deploy in other regions as needed, so your data stays where you need it
• Customer data never used to train AI models
• Human decisions required, complete audit trail
Audit & transparency
• Designed for easy audit
• Rationale shown for every score
• Scores traceable to the original responses
Proof from regulated recruitment
Proven where recruitment is most scrutinised.
UK fire and rescue services run ALICE on live campaigns. Here's what their teams say.
"ALICE is actually more fair and consistent than a human, as it shows none of the unconscious biases that a human might."
Senior Recruiting Manager, North West Fire Service
"It was soon very evident that ALICE is very accurate and fair."
Station Manager, Southern Fire Service
"I've been really impressed with what ALICE can do!"
Head of People, South West Fire Service
"The platform is so easy to use and saved us a massive amount of time."
Senior Assessor, Northern Fire Service
"In our last campaign we saw a 3-fold increase in the number of female candidates shortlisted."
Lead People Advisor, Fire Service
"ALICE is an extremely valuable part of our assessment process for external recruitment and internal promotions."
People Development Leader, Southern Fire Service
