LessRounds vs Spark Hire.

Spark Hire asks candidates to record answers to your questions. With LessRounds, an AI interviewer talks with the candidate, listens and asks follow-up questions. Both save you from a phone interview with every applicant. They collect different kinds of evidence.

Questions

Which tells you more about a candidate in a first interview?

Follow-up questions tend to reveal more, because they test answers the candidate has rehearsed. Recorded answers are easier to compare side by side. It depends what you’re looking for.
