Bright Apply vs RoundOne AI

Bright Apply is a conversational AI screening tool for talent-acquisition teams hiring at volume. It conducts structured, role-relevant conversations and can ask follow-up questions when candidate answers are vague. Employers can receive interview transcripts, eligibility outcomes, reasoned scores, an indicator of possible AI use, and briefings for next-stage interviews. Interview questions and length can be configured around the role and employer’s criteria. Candidates can respond by voice; a text interview is available as a reasonable adjustment, and additional time can be allowed for video questions. Bright Apply says it supports more than 250 applicant-tracking-system integrations, with its team handling technical setup. The product flags possible AI use and advises careful review of high scores instead of using a score alone to reject candidates. Bright Apply says people remain accountable for hiring decisions and candidates are not automatically rejected or progressed based on scores. It lists ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications. Pricing is on request, with a volume plan starting at 3,000 interviews annually and one-, two-, or three-year terms.

RoundOne AI is a web-based recruiting tool that screens CVs and conducts voice interviews, then presents recruiters with a ranked candidate shortlist. CV screening checks role requirements such as experience, qualifications, certifications, and skills, and returns a score with supporting evidence. Its voice screening interviews candidates against role-specific criteria; calls are described as available within minutes and around the clock. Candidate profiles bring together CV results, screening scores, evidence, voice results, transcripts, notes, and leaderboard position. Recruiters keep hiring decisions, and the system does not automatically reject candidates. Screening is available in 50+ languages. RoundOne lists more than 30 ATS integrations, including Ashby, Greenhouse, Bullhorn, Loxo, Workable, Workday, and BambooHR; candidate data and assessment results sync with a connected ATS in real time. The Free CV screening plan costs nothing and offers unlimited CV screenings. Solo costs £99 a month and includes 100 AI voice interviews monthly; Team costs £249 a month and includes 500. A 14-day trial is advertised with no credit card required.
