The problem

Too many applicants to talk to.

Say 300 people apply for 20 jobs. Someone skims the résumés for keywords and calls the first few who look right. Strong people further down the pile never get to talk to anyone.

This isn’t laziness. There aren’t enough hours in the week to phone everyone, and every call has to fit into two people’s schedules.

How LessRounds helps

What you get.

One link in the job ad

Applicants click the link in your job ad and start the interview. Nobody has to book a time.

Sorted by score

Start at the top of the list and stop when the jobs are filled.

A minimum score (pass mark)

Candidates who reach your pass mark wait for your review. Everyone below it is set aside. Nobody is contacted about the result.

Works on a phone

Audio-only interviews need only a microphone.

Priced per interview

$5 per finished interview of up to 30 minutes, with no charge per user. Busy months cost more. Quiet months cost nothing.

Sample interview

Questions to start from.

Use them as written, or let the AI draft its own from your job description.

01Tell me about a time you had a lot to get through in one shift. How did you decide what to do first?
02What would your last manager say you were best at?
03A customer is rude to you over something you can’t fix. What do you say?
04Why this role, and why now?

Screening questions

Checks before the interview.

Short form questions candidates answer before the interview. Answers show on each candidate’s page. They aren’t scored.

Are you legally allowed to work in this country? (Yes / No)
Which shifts can you work? (Multiple choice)
When could you start? (Short text)

Limits

What LessRounds doesn’t do.

LessRounds doesn’t post your job or find applicants for you. You put the link wherever you advertise the job.
LessRounds has no built-in connection to applicant tracking systems (ATS). To move results, use webhooks and the API or download a CSV file.

Questions

How many candidates can take an interview at once?

There’s no scheduling, so candidates take it whenever they like, including at the same time as each other.

What does it cost to interview 300 applicants?

Each finished interview costs $5 if it’s up to 30 minutes long, or $10 for up to 60 minutes. So 300 finished 30-minute interviews cost $1,500, less the 100 free credits you start with. Applicants who open the link but don’t finish aren’t counted.

Should I use scripted or AI-led interviews when hiring lots of people?

Scripted means the AI reads your questions word for word. AI-led means it also asks its own follow-up questions. Scripted is usually better here. Every candidate hears exactly the same questions, so it’s easy to compare scores across hundreds of people.
