Most applicants never get a conversation.
First Round exists to change that, without taking the decision away from the recruiter.
Why we built it
A role with a hundred applicants gets screened on paper. A few CVs make it to a phone call and the rest hear nothing. People who would have been good at the job are missed because their CV did not say it the right way.
Phoning everyone is not possible for a small agency. So First Round does the first conversation: a short, structured interview with the same questions for every candidate, in Danish or English. You get what they actually said, and you decide who comes next.
What we hold ourselves to
A person decides
First Round informs your judgement and never replaces it. Nothing on screen is a verdict.
Your time is the product
Every screen should shorten the path from “they applied” to “I know who to call”.
Show the evidence
Every claim about a candidate links to what they said, and you can play the moment they said it.
Honest with candidates
They always know it is an AI, what happens to their data, and how to reach a person.
Who we are
First Round is built in Denmark by an independent founder, for Danish recruitment agencies and employers who hire at volume. It is small on purpose: you can sign up, set up a job and run your first interviews without talking to anyone.
Questions about data, the law or how candidates experience it are welcome. Those are the right questions to ask.
