Scoring
Each skill gets a score, the reason for it and the exact words from the interview it’s based on. You check the evidence, and you make the decision.
What you get
For every candidate who finishes, LessRounds writes up the interview the way a careful interviewer would.
From 0 to 100, compared with the level you expect for the job.
For every skill, the most relevant quote from the interview.
A few sentences explaining why the candidate got that score.
Three to five moments, with the time each happened, marked as a strength, a concern or an insight.
Warnings on answers that dodged the question, were vague or very short, sounded read out, or went off topic.
A short list of what stood out, and what to ask about in the next interview.
Your skills
You choose the skills, the level you expect and how much each one counts. LessRounds can suggest them from your job description.
Pass mark
Choose a minimum score, called a pass mark, for each interview. Candidates at or above it wait for your review. Those below are set aside, aren’t contacted, and can be moved back at any time.
| Feature | With a pass mark | Without one |
|---|---|---|
| High scores | At or above it: go to review | 80 or more: go to review, marked as a strong match |
| Middle scores | — | 50–79: go to review |
| Low scores | Below it: set aside in the Rejected list | Under 50: set aside in the Rejected list |
| Is the candidate told? | No. You decide what to say | No. You decide what to say |
| Can you change it? | Yes, for any candidate, at any time | Yes, for any candidate, at any time |
If the AI ends an interview early after two warnings about behavior, the candidate is also set aside, whatever their score. The reason is shown on the candidate’s page.
Limits
Knowing the limits helps you trust the results.
The written transcript of the interview. It compares what the candidate said with each skill you set and the level you expect. It does not score video, faces, voices or backgrounds.
Each skill is scored from 0 to 100. The overall score is an average in which each skill counts as much as you chose. Only the proportions matter, so weights of 30, 30 and 40 work the same as 3, 3 and 4.
LessRounds uses its own default score ranges. Candidates with 80 or above go to review, marked as a strong match. Those with 50 to 79 also go to review. Those below 50 are set aside. If you set a pass mark, it replaces these ranges with your own cut-off.
No. Answers to yes/no, multiple-choice and text questions are shown on each candidate’s page for you to read. Only the AI interview is scored.
Yes, and you should when the quoted answer doesn’t support the score. Move any candidate to shortlisted, on hold, rejected or back to review. The change and who made it are recorded.
Yes. Turning speech into text can miss words, and a strong candidate may give a short answer that undersells them. That’s why every score comes with its reasoning and a quote you can check, and why a person makes every decision. See Responsible AI.
