Startups

Hire without a recruiter. Or a free week.

At a startup, the founder is usually the recruiter too. LessRounds takes the first round off your calendar, so you only get on calls with people who’ve already shown they can do the job.

The problem

Every screening call is a meeting you didn’t have.

Your first hires matter more than any later ones, and they’re usually hired by someone with three other jobs. So first rounds get rushed, or skipped, or done between customer calls.

Ten twenty-minute calls is a lost afternoon, and most of them end with “thanks, we’ll be in touch”.

How LessRounds helps

What changes.

Live in ten minutes

Sign up with an email code, paste your job description, publish.

10 interviews a month free

Most early hiring fits in the free plan.

Your co-founder can review too

Invite the team. No per-seat fees.

It asks the second question

Follow-ups test whether an impressive first answer holds up.

Sample interview

Questions to start from.

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

  1. 01Tell me about something you built or ran end to end, with nobody telling you what to do.
  2. 02What’s a decision you made with too little information? How did it turn out?
  3. 03Why a small company, and why now?

Screening questions

Checks before the interview.

Answers show on each candidate’s page. They aren’t scored.

  • Where are you based? (Short text)
  • Are you comfortable with an early-stage salary and equity mix? (Yes / No)

Questions

We only hire a few people a year. Is it worth it?

Probably, because it’s free: 10 completed interviews every month cost nothing. Use it for the roles where you get more applicants than you can call.

Won’t senior candidates be put off by an AI interview?

Some might, so use your judgment. Many teams send the AI interview to inbound applicants and still call referrals and senior candidates directly.
