What RoundZero is
RoundZero is a web-based hiring tool that pre-screens applicants and prepares evidence-backed reports before human interviews. Each submitted application receives a role-specific AI pre-evaluation with a match score, confidence, and missing requirements. Selected candidates complete an adaptive text interview followed by a short browser-based voice conversation; the full evaluation is estimated at 15–20 minutes, including about five minutes of voice. The resulting report brings together scores, strengths, gaps, screening answers, authenticity signals, transcripts, and evidence excerpts. Employers keep control of advancement, rejection, and final hiring decisions. The interview uses text and browser-based voice, without requiring a camera or recording video. The homepage lists Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Recruitee, and SmartRecruiters as job-import sources. Growth and Scale include importing from an ATS or CSV, with imported roles staying drafts until reviewed and published. Free includes one active job and five evaluation reports per job. Every listed plan includes email support.
