RoundOne AI

RoundOne AI is a web recruiting service that screens CVs and interviews candidates by voice, then ranks them for recruiter review. It is best for hiring teams that want to add structured early screening across varied roles without delegating hiring decisions. Unlimited CV screening is free; voice interviews begin with the £99/mo Solo plan.

Overview

RoundOne assesses experience, qualifications, certifications and skills against role requirements, pairing each CV score with supporting evidence. Its AI voice interviews use role-specific criteria, with calls described as starting within minutes and operating around the clock. Together, those steps give recruiters a ranked shortlist rather than separate CV and interview records to reconcile.

Each candidate profile brings together screening scores, CV results, evidence, voice results, transcripts, notes and leaderboard position. This gives reviewers more context for comparing applicants, though a ranking is still a prompt for human review rather than a hiring decision: recruiters retain that decision, and the system does not automatically reject candidates.

Key features

CV screening: The free plan includes unlimited CV screenings, making it a practical way to evaluate role-based scoring before paying. Scores include evidence, while the paid plans add voice interview quotas.

Voice screening: Role-specific calls extend screening beyond résumé content and can run at any hour. This suits teams needing a repeatable first conversation across applicants, but the monthly interview allowance matters: Solo includes 100 and Team 500.

Candidate profiles: Scores, results, transcripts, notes and leaderboard position are consolidated in each profile. The combination can support more consistent review than CV scores alone.

ATS integrations: RoundOne supports more than 30 ATS integrations, including Ashby, Greenhouse, Bullhorn, Loxo, Workable, Workday and BambooHR. Candidate data and assessment results sync automatically in real time with a connected ATS, which should reduce manual transfer for teams already using one of these systems.

Languages and oversight: Screening is available in 50+ languages. Recruiters keep control over hiring and candidates are not automatically rejected, an important boundary for teams using automated screening.

Pricing

RoundOne has a free plan, paid plans from £99/mo and a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. The trial is useful for evaluating the paid workflow before committing; the stated pricing does not give a renewal term.

Solo is the entry point for voice screening, with one seat and a 100-interview monthly quota. Team costs more but raises that quota to 500, includes three seats and adds custom screening controls and priority support. Enterprise is suited to larger organizations that need unlimited seats and interviews or listed security and identity features; it uses custom pricing.

Platforms

RoundOne runs on the web. Its integrations connect it to ATS platforms, while the listed candidate screening and application intake functions support recruitment workflows within the service.

Who it's for

RoundOne fits recruiters who want CV scoring and structured voice screening in one workflow, particularly teams handling applicants across multiple roles or industries. Its stated scope spans executive and healthcare hiring through warehouse and customer-facing positions. The free plan can serve teams focused on CV review; organizations needing multiple seats, larger interview volumes or enterprise controls should consider Team or Enterprise. It is less suitable for buyers who want hiring decisions or candidate rejection fully automated.

Pros and cons

Pro: Unlimited free CV screening lets recruiters use role-based scoring without an interview quota or credit card.

Pro: Profiles combine CV and voice results, evidence, transcripts and notes, giving reviewers a broader basis for comparison.

Pro: Real-time ATS sync across 30+ integrations can keep candidate and assessment data aligned with an existing recruiting system.

Pro: Human control remains with recruiters; the platform does not automatically reject candidates.

Con: Voice interviews are reserved for paid plans, and Solo limits them to 100 per month with one seat.

Con: The free plan covers CV screening only, so teams wanting the combined workflow must budget for a paid tier.

Con: Enterprise pricing is custom, making that tier harder to compare against fixed-price options.
