Built for both sides

One interview counts for 12 months. One role reaches many assessed people.

Nobody pings anybody. ROUND.1 does the work between the two sides: the interview, the reminders and the introductions. Every introduction starts with a yes from both.Nobody pings anybody. ROUND.1 handles the interview, the reminders and the introductions.

For the candidate

One interview, valid for 12 months.

You get your level on each skill back, free, with your own words behind it.

No recruiter spam.

Nobody cold-calls you about roles. Companies will reach you only through ROUND.1, with your levels first and your name only when you say yes.

For the company

One role, many assessed people.

Your role meets candidates who already took the interview, each with levels and their own words behind them. Or upload your own applicants: they take the same interview, and you see them the same way.

No chasing.

You do not chase applicants or book first rounds. Everyone you shortlist from our pool has confirmed your company and role before their name reaches you.

The ROUND.1 workspace: a role's candidates, each with a level on every skill

Assessment first

Your levels first. Your name only after a yes.

  • Before you say yes: a company sees your levels and the quotes behind them. No name, contacts, CV, photo, recording or transcript.

  • After you say yes: that one company gets your name, contacts, the recording and the transcript.

  • If you decline: the company sees a decline, with no name and no reason.

What a company sees before your yes. Concept visual. Quotes and levels are illustrative, not from a real candidate.

People decide.

For candidates

Do I pay anything?

Free for candidates at every stage, including when you are hired.

Will my current employer find out?

Not if you block it. A blocked company never sees your profile. Other companies get your name only after you say yes to them, and a yes cannot be taken back.

What is the interview like?

A video call with an AI interviewer, about 20 minutes, 30 at most. Our AI interviewer speaks 42 languages. Interviews open in English and Mandarin first; Mandarin is for applicants a company uploads to a Mandarin role. Three questions are the same for everyone, then questions on each skill the role needs. You get one attempt, and if the call drops you can rejoin within 30 minutes. Use a computer with a camera and microphone, in Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge.

Where can I join from?

People from most countries can join. For now, we don't serve candidates located in the EU. The chat asks where you can work.

What if you don't interview for my field yet?

Request an interview in your field. We'll open it soon. Until then, complete your profile and add how we can reach you.
