What it does

Recruiters send candidates on resumes and gut feel — recruiters and team leads usually aren't technical enough to verify depth before the client interview. Round1 runs an AI voice interview between shortlist and client submission: adaptive questions from the real JD, a technical score, a Strong Yes/Yes/Maybe/No call, plus a separate AI-coaching/integrity flag. Report lands in the recruiter's inbox within a minute. Free 14-day trial, no card needed

Replace manual phone screens with AI. Round1 conducts voice interviews, generates scored assessment reports with integrity tracking, and emails results in 30 seconds. Free 14-day trial.

Screen 100 candidates this week — without a single phone call. Your AI recruiting agent handles the first round. You meet only the best. It's not a pipeline problem. It's not a budget problem. It's a signal problem — and it's getting worse every year. ChatGPT writes them. You're screening fiction. By round 2 you've already wasted the time. 100 applicants = 75 hours of recruiter time. Your best people are buried in repetitive calls. You can't verify capability until round 3. Bad hires cost 6 months of salary. You need to know earlier. In a world where every resume looks perfect, the only truth is the interview. From job brief to hire decision — Round1 removes every friction point in between.…from round1.in

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
