Company research

Research any company before you apply

Round Zero builds a cited company brief, then connects it to résumé tailoring, cover letters, and mock interviews for the same role. One application, full prep loop.

  • Cited intel: products, culture, interview process, prep kit
  • Mock interviews that reference what the company actually builds
  • Résumé and cover letter grounded in the same JD and research

The full application prep loop

Most tools stop at a question list or a generic chatbot. Round Zero runs the loop recruiters expect you to have done: know the company, show fit on paper, then perform in the room.

  1. 1

    Name the company

    Company, role, job URL, and JD. One application record ties everything together.

  2. 2

    Research with citations

    Products, culture, interview process, and a prep kit grounded in public sources.

  3. 3

    Tailor your résumé

    Honest fit score plus a JD-specific version from your master profile.

  4. 4

    Write the cover letter

    Role-specific letter that pulls from your profile and the posting.

  5. 5

    Practice the interview

    Mock interview wired to your research brief. Questions reference what they actually build.

Wired into practice, not a PDF dump

Your research brief feeds the mock interviewer system prompt. Follow-ups reference products, priorities, and likely panel questions from the prep kit.

Without research

“Tell me about a time you led a cross-functional project.” Generic behavioral follow-ups only.

With Round Zero research

“Stripe Connect handles marketplace payouts. Walk me through a time you shipped API-adjacent work with compliance constraints.”

Questions & answers

What does company research include?
A cited brief: business model, products, culture, recent news, interview process, key people when sources allow, plus an interview prep kit with elevator pitch, talking points, and likely questions.
How is this different from Googling the company?
We synthesize job postings, careers pages, and pasted JD text into one brief with numbered sources. Then we wire that intel into résumé tailoring, cover letters, and mock interviews for the same application.
Do I need research before a mock interview?
No, but it helps. Without research you still get JD-grounded practice. With research the AI interviewer references what the company is building and prioritizing.
Is company research free?
Yes. Free accounts get one full research brief. Job Search Pass and Member unlock more while you are actively hunting.
Can I track multiple companies?
Yes. Each run saves to your library and links to an application in your pipeline so prep stays organized per role.
