RoundOne AI

RoundOne AI is a web-based recruiting service for teams that want to screen applicants against role criteria before recruiters review them. It suits hiring teams handling many applications, especially those that want voice interviews alongside CV review. The free plan covers CV screening, but voice interviews start at £99/mo.

Overview

RoundOne assesses CVs against experience, qualifications, certifications and skills, returning a score with evidence. It can also conduct voice interviews against role-specific criteria; calls are described as happening within minutes and around the clock. Candidate profiles bring together CV and interview results, transcripts, notes and leaderboard position, giving recruiters a common basis for comparing applicants.

The ranked shortlist is an aid to review, not an automated hiring decision: recruiters retain the decision, and RoundOne says it does not automatically reject candidates. Screening is available in 50+ languages, and the service is aimed at roles across industries, from executive and healthcare hiring to warehouse and customer-facing work.

Key features

• CV screening: Unlimited CV screening is included even on the free plan. Scores with supporting evidence can make it easier to assess role fit, though teams seeking voice screening will need a paid plan.
• Voice interviews: Role-specific AI calls extend screening beyond the CV and operate around the clock. Paid plans impose monthly interview quotas except Enterprise, so teams should match the plan to expected volume.
• Candidate profiles: CV findings, interview results, transcripts, notes and leaderboard position appear together. This helps compare candidates across screening stages without treating a score as a final decision.
• ATS connections: RoundOne lists 30+ integrations, including Ashby, Greenhouse, Bullhorn, Loxo, Workable, Workday and BambooHR. Candidate data and assessment results sync with a connected ATS in real time, which can reduce duplicate handling for teams already using one of those systems.
• Privacy and security: RoundOne says it does not sell personal information and describes technical and organizational security measures. Its site identifies SOC 2 and GDPR; Enterprise includes SOC 2, a DPA and a custom BAA.

Pricing

RoundOne has a free CV-screening tier, paid monthly plans and a 14-day free trial that requires no credit card. The free plan is useful for CV assessment, but it does not include voice interviews.

• Free CV screening — free: Unlimited CV screenings with no credit card. It is a sensible starting point for teams that only need CV review, but not for those wanting AI voice interviews.
• Solo — £99 a month: Billed £99 /mo, with 100 AI voice interviews per month, unlimited CV screenings, unlimited screening agents under a launch offer, one seat and email support. It fits an individual recruiter or a small operation with modest interview volume; the single seat and 100-interview cap constrain larger teams.
• Team — £249 a month: Billed £249 /mo, with 500 AI voice interviews per month, three seats, all 30+ ATS integrations, custom rubrics and agent voices, and priority support. It suits a small hiring team that needs shared access and more interviews, though its quota remains finite.
• Enterprise — custom pricing: Unlimited AI voice interviews and seats, SSO and SCIM, a dedicated customer success manager, SOC 2, DPA and custom BAA. It is the fit for organizations that need unlimited volume, more seats or these enterprise controls; price is custom.

Solo includes email support, while Team upgrades to priority support and Enterprise adds a dedicated customer success manager. The free trial lowers the commitment required to assess the paid workflow, but paid voice screening is otherwise limited by plan quotas.

Platforms

RoundOne is available on the web. Its screening also supports web voice as a candidate channel.

Who it's for

RoundOne is best for recruiters who want structured CV and voice screening, ranked profiles and ATS syncing while keeping hiring decisions with people. The free tier suits CV-only use; Solo fits one seat and lower voice-interview volume; Team is more appropriate when several recruiters need access. Teams needing unlimited interviews, seats or enterprise security provisions should consider Enterprise. It is less suitable for anyone who needs voice interviews on a free plan or whose expected monthly volume exceeds the paid tier they can use.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Unlimited free CV screening: Teams can assess CVs without a screening-volume cap or a credit card.
• Evidence alongside rankings: Scores, supporting evidence and interview transcripts give recruiters more context than a rank alone.
• Broad ATS coverage: More than 30 integrations sync candidate data and assessment results in real time.
• Human control: Recruiters keep hiring decisions, and the system does not automatically reject candidates.

Cons

• Voice interviews are paid: The free plan is limited to CV screening, so the distinctive interview workflow requires a subscription.
• Paid plans have quotas: Solo is capped at 100 monthly voice interviews and Team at 500; unlimited interviews are reserved for Enterprise.
• Solo has one seat: It is not a shared plan for a multi-recruiter team.

Alternatives

• Recruiting Chatbot Software is a directory category for comparing recruiting chatbot options rather than a specific product.
• GLYDE Unity may suit someone seeking a free Chrome-based option: its GLYDE Dock plan is free forever, requires no account and supports up to three live tools, but its platforms also extend beyond web.
• Hireable is aimed at job seekers practicing interviews and improving résumés, rather than recruiters screening applicants.
• Talsense may suit teams looking for a free allowance of five AI interviews per month plus resume reviews and autofills; its paid Starter plan is $199 a month.
• Tellability may fit teams wanting a free pilot with 50 credits per month, three active job postings and up to 15 matched candidates, with plan pricing in INR.
• Talismatic TalentBot offers a first role free and is an option for a team wanting to begin with a single role.
• Bright Apply may be a better fit for high-volume interviewing under a longer commitment: its volume-based pricing starts at 3,000 interviews annually, with lower per-interview rates for larger commitments.
• GoHire uses pricing discussed in a Zoom call about company processes, requirements and goals, so it may suit buyers who prefer a tailored sales conversation.
• Screened may suit teams looking for a paid annual plan with up to five jobs, 1,000 candidates per month and up to three team members; its Resumes plan is $66 a month billed annually, while the page says month-to-month is $99/month.

Verdict

RoundOne AI is a strong fit for recruiters who want CV and voice screening in one workflow, evidence-backed candidate rankings and ATS syncing without handing decisions to automation. Its main draw is the free unlimited CV screening paired with a clear path to voice interviews. Look elsewhere if voice screening must be free or if your team needs more monthly interviews than Solo or Team allows without moving to custom-priced Enterprise.
