ROUND.1, explained

ROUND.1 is a hiring marketplace for Hong Kong and Singapore. Every candidate takes one AI first-round video interview; companies see scored, anonymised candidates and pay only when they hire.

What ROUND.1 is

ROUND.1 is a hiring marketplace for employers and job seekers in Hong Kong and Singapore. It is built by h.work, and its website is https://round1.work.

Each candidate takes one AI first-round video interview. ROUND.1 scores it and reuses it for the other roles the candidate chooses, so a candidate is not interviewed again for each company. Companies meet candidates who have already been interviewed and scored.

Who it is for

  • Employers in Hong Kong and Singapore who want first-round interviews done before they meet anyone.
  • Job seekers in Hong Kong and Singapore who want one interview to count for several roles.

How it works

  1. The candidate takes the interview in a web browser, with a camera and a microphone. It lasts about 20 minutes by default (roles can be shorter), 30 at most.
  2. Before the interview starts, the candidate consents to the processing of their video and voice, under Hong Kong's PDPO and Singapore's PDPA.
  3. The interview is scored competency by competency. Each score is backed by quotes from the transcript.
  4. The same interview is reused for the other roles the candidate chooses.
  5. A company first sees a candidate's scored evaluation without the candidate's name or contact details. These open to the company when it shortlists the candidate after the interview.
  6. A person at the company decides whom to hire. ROUND.1 does not make the hiring decision.

Pricing

  • Candidates pay nothing.
  • Employers: [FEE & GUARANTEE WORDING — pending Alex O, #4530]
  • Nothing is charged before a hire. There is no subscription.

Limitations

  • A camera and a microphone are required. There is no audio-only or phone interview.
  • Each role is interviewed in one language, English or Mandarin Chinese.
  • Accent, pronunciation, grammar, fluency, personality traits and protected characteristics (such as age, gender, race, religion, disability or marital status) are not scored.
  • One attempt. An interview cannot be restarted. If the connection drops, the same interview can resume, once by default (a role can allow more resumes or none). A resume continues the interview; it does not start it again.
  • ROUND.1 serves Hong Kong and Singapore only.
