First interviews that fit the applicant's day, and yours.
LessRounds is the OLN Labs product for first-round interviews. You set the role and the questions, applicants answer out loud from a browser, and your team reviews the results and decides.
Four steps and one shared link.
Write up the role.
Tell LessRounds what the job involves and what you want a first conversation to find out.
Pick the questions.
Select the questions every applicant for this role should answer, so each person gets the same first round.
Send the interview link.
Applicants open it in a browser and take a spoken interview whenever it suits them. Nobody has to find a free slot in a calendar.
Listen, read and decide.
For each applicant your team gets a recording, a transcript and a score with its reasons, and chooses who goes forward.
Made for the stage that eats a recruiter's week.
First-round screening is where hiring tends to slow down. A recruiter asks the same questions again and again across calendars that rarely line up, and the notes from each call depend on who took it. LessRounds gives every applicant the same questions and keeps the evidence, so your team spends its time on the people worth a second conversation.
- Interviews from any browser
- No call scheduling
- Recordings and transcripts
- Scores with their reasons
How the first round changes
What hiring teams ask before trying it
Which roles is it good for?
Roles with many applicants and a predictable first screen benefit most. For senior or sensitive hires you may still want a person to make the first call.
How much weight should the score carry?
Read it as a summary of the answers. The reasons and the transcript are there so a person can check the score against what the applicant actually said.
Who on our side uses it?
In-house hiring teams and recruiters, including staffing and recruitment firms screening applicants for several roles at once.
What does an applicant need?
A browser and somewhere quiet enough to speak. There's no call to book and nothing to install, which helps people who are applying while they still hold another job.
Does it replace our later rounds?
It covers the first round only. Second interviews, practical tasks and the final conversation stay with your team, and they start with better information about each person.
Where are plans and sign-up?
