We hire by listening.
We're a small team working on a problem we've all felt: hiring that doesn't really hear people. We'd like to meet people who care about fixing it.
See open rolesWe try to hire the way we'd want to be hired.
We spend our days thinking about what makes hiring fair, so we hold our own process to the same standard.
Keep it simple.
Applying shouldn't take an evening. We ask only for what we need.
Hear people out.
We care more about how you think and what you've worked on than how polished your CV is.
A person decides.
Every application is reviewed by someone on the team.
Close the loop.
Whatever the outcome, we'll let you know.
Some of our best people didn't stand out on paper.
What it's like here.
We start from the problem.
RoundOne began with a hiring manager trying to fix his own team's hiring. We still begin with the real pain and work back from there.
We're comfortable changing our minds.
We've built things, learned from them and let them go when they weren't right. Changing course based on what we learn is part of the work.
We try things on ourselves first.
If something isn't good enough for our own hiring, it isn't ready for anyone else's.
We stay close to the people we build for.
We speak with recruiters and candidates regularly, and their feedback shapes what we do next.
We share as we go.
We talk openly about what's working and what isn't, inside the team and in public.
Everyone owns real work.
We're a small team across the UK and India. That means real responsibility, close collaboration and work you can point to.
The kind of team we're building.
Kind, and candid.
We say what we think, and we say it with care. Honest feedback is how we help each other get better, not how we score points.
No ego in the room.
The best idea wins, whoever it comes from. Being new or junior doesn't mean you should stay quiet.
Curious by default.
We ask a lot of questions and read a lot. When something new comes along in AI or hiring, someone's usually already tried it and has a view.
The founder is one message away.
There are no layers between you and the people making decisions. If you have an idea or a concern, you can take it straight to Mayur.
We notice the wins.
A first customer, a great candidate story, a feature that finally works: we take the time to celebrate them together, however small.
Room to grow.
Many of us are doing things we'd never done before joining. We'd rather back someone's potential than wait for a perfect track record.
People who'd rather do the work than talk about it.
You'll probably enjoy it here if you like solving messy problems, you're happy to say "I was wrong" and move on, and you believe hiring can be fairer for everyone involved. You don't need a perfect CV.
