Replacing phone screens

Swap your first phone call with each candidate for an AI interview.

A phone screen is the short first call where you check the basics and get a feel for a candidate. LessRounds does both through a link, for every candidate at once, and keeps a written record.

The problem

The same questions, over and over.

Phone screens repeat the same questions: tell me about yourself, why this role, notice period, salary. The answers end up in someone’s notes, or nowhere at all.

Each call also needs a time that suits two people. Rescheduling, missed calls and time zones can turn a fifteen-minute call into days of waiting.

How LessRounds helps

What you get.

Spoken, like a call

Candidates speak their answers. The AI listens and asks follow-up questions. Nobody has to type long answers.

Written down

Every conversation has a recording and a written transcript you can search.

Scored the same way

Every candidate is scored on the same skills and held to the same pass mark (minimum score).

Nothing to schedule

Candidates take the interview whenever they’re ready.

Sample interview

Questions to start from.

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

  1. 01Give me a quick tour of your experience, most recent first.
  2. 02What drew you to this role?
  3. 03Tell me about a piece of work you’d want us to know about.

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.

  • Notice period (Short text)
  • Expected salary range (Short text)
  • Are you allowed to work here? (Yes / No)

Limits

What LessRounds doesn’t do.

  • LessRounds doesn’t phone candidates. The interview happens in a browser, on a laptop or phone, from a link you send.

Questions

Is this an AI phone screen?

It does the job of one, but in the browser rather than over a phone line. Candidates open a link on their phone or laptop and talk to the AI there.

What does it cost compared with a phone screen?

A 30-minute phone screen, including scheduling and notes, costs about $20 of a recruiter’s time at $40 an hour. A 30-minute LessRounds interview costs $5, plus a few minutes to read the results. See the pricing math.
