RoundZero is a web-based hiring tool that pre-screens applicants and prepares evidence-backed reports before human interviews. Every submitted application receives a role-specific AI pre-evaluation showing a match score, confidence, and missing requirements. Selected candidates complete an adaptive text interview followed by a browser voice conversation; the complete evaluation is estimated at 15–20 minutes, including about five minutes of voice. Reports contain scores, strengths, gaps, screening answers, authenticity signals, transcripts, and evidence excerpts. Employers decide who advances, who is rejected, and who is hired. Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Recruitee, and SmartRecruiters are listed as job-import sources. Growth and Scale include importing jobs from supported public boards or CSV, with imported roles remaining drafts until review and publication. The Free plan costs nothing and includes one active job, five reports per job, and one teammate plus the account holder. Paid plans cost $39 a month, $99 a month, and $249 a month.
