01 — Why ROUND.1
A great human screener has a great day, a tired day, a distracted day. ROUND.1 brings the same care to every conversation, whether it's for two candidates or two hundred.
A human first round
ROUND.1
Different questions for different candidates, depending on the conversation.
Every candidate gets the same role-calibrated question set, every time. Follow-ups still adapt to what they actually said.
Rubrics applied loosely; some criteria probed, others forgotten.
The rubric runs over the live transcript. Every weighted criterion gets a score — or an explicit 'not probed' so you can see the gap.
Notes paraphrased after the fact; impressions blur with resume bias.
Direct quotes from the transcript back every score. No hallucinated strengths, no rewriting after the fact.
Schedule constraints cap how many candidates you can really interview.
Send the link to every applicant who passes the screen. Each gets a real first round, not a form.

Generate job descriptions calibrated to experience level, language, and company voice. Editable before they go live.
