Full transcript

Interviewer: Tell me about a time you shipped under a tight deadline.

Candidate: We had 48 hours before a board demo. I scoped to one user-visible win, cut two nice-to-haves, and shipped the onboarding fix that moved activation 12%.

Interviewer: What did you cut, and how did you communicate that to stakeholders?

Candidate: The analytics dashboard. I wrote a one-pager on what we'd defer and why, got sign-off from the PM in an hour.

How it works

From job post to shortlist

Set up once. Every applicant gets the same fair, structured screen, without booking your calendar.

Add the job description and define what good looks like: communication, domain depth, culture fit.

02

Share one link

Candidates apply and interview on their schedule. No calendar Tetris, no phone-tag.

03

They interview with AI

A live, adaptive conversation, not a fixed question list. Same rubric for every applicant.

04

You review transcripts

Read the full dialogue, see scores with evidence quotes, and shortlist the ones worth your time.

Why teams switch

Screening that scales without losing signal

24/7 screening

Candidates interview at midnight or on lunch break. Your pipeline fills while you sleep.

Full transcripts

Every word captured, not a summary of a summary. Read exactly what they said before you hop on a call.

Rubric scoring

Each answer graded against your dimensions, with quoted evidence from the transcript.

AI candidate summaries

One-click read on communication clarity, relevant experience, and overall impression.

Ranked pipeline

Applicants sorted by interview score so you start with the strongest signals.

Your rubric, your role

Custom interview dimensions per job: behavioral, technical, or straight from the JD.

Questions

Is this replacing human interviews?

No. It replaces the repetitive first round. Round Zero handles async screening so your team spends live time only on candidates worth meeting.

What do candidates experience?

They get a live AI interview (voice or text) that adapts to their answers, just like a real screening call. Transparent, async, on their schedule.

Do I get the full transcript?

Yes. Every turn of the conversation is saved. You can read the dialogue, review rubric scores with evidence quotes, and generate an AI summary before deciding who to advance.

Can I customize the interview?

Per role you set interview dimensions: what to probe for and how to weight it. The AI interviewer follows your rubric, not a generic script.

How is this different from a one-way video tool?

Most async tools ask fixed prompts and score keywords. Round Zero runs a conversational interview with follow-ups, then scores against your rubric with cited evidence.
