These concise answers are written for employers evaluating alphaScreen before signup.
What is alphaScreen?
alphaScreen is alphaSource AI's web-based candidate screening platform. It helps hiring teams create roles, invite candidates, run structured AI-assisted screening interviews, and review candidate reports before deciding what to do next.

Hiring teams choose a membership, complete agreement and checkout steps, set up dashboard access, create roles, invite candidates, and review structured reports after candidates complete screening interviews.
Who is alphaScreen for?
alphaScreen is for employers and hiring teams that want a more consistent first-pass screening workflow before later-stage interviews and final hiring decisions.
Is alphaScreen designed for dental groups?
alphaScreen is built for structured hiring teams broadly and is a strong fit for dental groups, DSOs, and multi-location operators that need consistent screening across practices or entities.
How does pricing work?
Public Basic and Pro memberships include a platform membership fee plus a per-role fee. Basic is listed at $299 monthly or $3,299 annually plus $399 per role. Pro is listed at $599 monthly or $6,499 annually plus $699 per role.

What is first-role prepay?
New self-serve buyers can optionally prepay the first role during signup at a one-time 10% discount. The prepaid first role is used when the first paid role is opened under the same billing account.
Who makes the final hiring decision?
The employer makes final hiring decisions. alphaScreen organizes screening information and reports for review, but it does not make automatic employment decisions.
How does alphaScreen protect candidate data?
alphaScreen is designed around authenticated access, role-based permissions, controlled file and report access, and privacy-conscious workflows for candidate and client information.
Does alphaScreen support accommodations?
Accommodation requests remain part of the employer's hiring process. alphaScreen supports controlled workflows and human review so candidate needs can be routed appropriately.
Can managers use alphaScreen across multiple locations or entities?
Authorized parent-level managers can work across assigned client or entity scopes. Access depends on the membership account structure and role permissions configured for that user.
What happens after a candidate completes an interview?
The hiring team can review the candidate's available resume, interview responses, score context, and report information before choosing the next step.
Does alphaScreen replace recruiters or hiring managers?
No. alphaScreen helps structure early screening work, but recruiters and hiring managers remain responsible for communication, review, accommodations, and final decisions.
How are candidate reports used?
Candidate reports are review aids for authorized hiring team members. They help organize screening information so teams can compare candidates more consistently.
How does alphaScreen handle automation and human review?
alphaScreen uses automation to collect, organize, score, and summarize screening information while keeping role setup, candidate review, and hiring decisions with people.
