FAQ

Common questions

How does it work?+

Build a full recruiting engine with your founding team in under an hour. Most teams see interviewing capacity ramp within the first few days.

  • Deep intake (45 min): We align on your ideal candidate profiles, priorities, and edge cases. You give real-time feedback as we surface initial candidates, refining the signal immediately.
  • Launch sourcing: We activate sourcing across millions of candidates, screening aggressively so only the best talent reaches your pipeline.
  • Continuous learning: Your feedback on each candidate sharpens our model, improving precision with every iteration.
  • Seamless handoff: For candidates you like, we coordinate directly and route them to your calendar for first conversations.
What makes Rounds different from other AI-native recruiting agencies?+

We believe that recruiters will be the sports agents of the future, brokering relationships to the most elite talent. Rounds expands your talent surface area by routing roles to domain-expert recruiters and tapping into pipelines through our exclusive partnerships with our investors. This includes access to 3M+ engineers via NeetCode and 10M+ candidates through Wellfound.

At the core is Sophia, our AI model. She empowers our recruiter network to source more accurately than GitHub or people search tools ever could, evaluating candidates on real merit, not proxies, putting them through a 30-90 minute AI-allowed work trial simulator before they ever reach you.

Sophia continuously learns from every role, getting sharper over time. She becomes the system of record for your hiring, improving sourcing, evaluating candidates, and advising on key hiring decisions as you scale your team. Don't take our word for it, Sophia is already used and loved by countless Fortune 100s we work with.

We believe the future of hiring brings both together: recruiters as the sports agents brokering elite talent, and Sophia working alongside them as the AI hiring partner, evaluating talent, building hiring plans, and advising on key hires with greater accuracy and scale than a human team ever could.

How long until you fill my role?+

90% of our roles are filled in 2-4 weeks. It's not a matter of how fast we can find candidates, it's a matter of how fast you can interview them.

What is Rounds pricing?+

You only pay when you make a hire, directly aligning our incentives with yours. Our success-based fee is calculated as a percentage of the candidate's first-year salary. At Rounds, we pride ourselves on offering the longest guarantees in the industry, with coverage extending up to nine months post-hire.

What if a hire doesn't work out?+

If a hire doesn't work out within 90-270 days, we'll run a replacement search free of charge.
