Introducing the RoundOne + Ashby Integration: AI Screening, Right Inside Your ATS

Recruiters already use Ashby to manage job applications, interview plans, candidate profiles, and hiring workflows. But adding AI screening can still mean switching between tools, manually moving information, and keeping track of assessment results separately.

That’s why we’ve built a native integration between RoundOne and Ashby. With this integration, recruiters can add RoundOne AI to their Ashby interview plans, start candidate screenings directly from Ashby, and view assessment results on candidate profiles. Scores, summaries, and links to full reports are all available in the same place your team already manages its hiring process.

There’s no need to manually transfer screening results between platforms. Once a recruiter orders an assessment in Ashby, RoundOne takes care of the screening and sends the results back to the candidate’s profile.

Here’s a closer look at how the integration works and how you can get started.

Bring RoundOne AI Screening Into Your Ashby Workflow

Your ATS already handles applications, interview plans, and candidate records. But screening candidates still involves reviewing resumes, assessing qualifications, and deciding who should move forward.

With RoundOne integrated into Ashby, you can add AI screening to your existing hiring process without introducing another platform for recruiters to manage. Here’s what the integration lets you do:

• Add RoundOne to interview plans: Include RoundOne AI as an assessment activity at the stage where you want to screen candidates.
• Start screenings directly from Ashby: Order an assessment from a candidate’s profile without switching platforms.
• Send candidate invitations: RoundOne creates the assessment and sends candidates an invitation to complete their screening.
• Review results in Ashby: See the final score, fit tier, and screening summary on the candidate’s profile.
• Access detailed reports: Open the full screening report in RoundOne whenever you need more information.

Your team can review the results and decide which candidates to move forward. RoundOne handles the screening, but hiring decisions remain entirely with your recruiters.

Create Screening Agents From Your Ashby Jobs

Setting up screening for a new role doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch. Once you’ve connected Ashby to RoundOne, you can use your existing Ashby job descriptions to create role-specific screening agents.

When you create a new agent in RoundOne, your open Ashby roles appear in the role selection step. Choose a role, and RoundOne uses its job description to draft the screening requirements. You can review these requirements and decide which ones should be assessed through CV screening, voice screening, or both. You can also adjust their importance and customise the screening criteria before launching the agent.

Once you have reviewed the requirements, give your agent a name, select a voice, and launch it. The agent will then be available in Ashby as an assessment option for that role. You only need to set up an agent once for each role you want to screen. After that, recruiters can use it directly from the relevant Ashby interview plan.

Start Screenings and Review Results Without Leaving Ashby

Once your agent is ready, you can add it to your Ashby interview plan. Open a job, navigate to its Interview Plan, and select RoundOne AI from the available assessment integrations. Choose the agent you created for that role and add it to the relevant stage.

When a candidate reaches that stage, recruiters can open their profile and click Start Assessment. RoundOne creates the candidate in the agent’s pipeline, retrieves their resume from Ashby, and sends them an invitation to complete the screening. You can track the assessment from either platform while the candidate completes it.

If the agent performs CV screening before voice screening, Ashby also displays an interim CV match score while the candidate’s final assessment is pending.

Once the screening is complete, the results are available directly on the candidate’s Ashby profile. Your team can see:

• RoundOne score: The candidate’s final assessment score out of 100.
• Fit tier: The candidate’s fit classification based on the screening.
• Screening summary: A summary of the assessment added to the candidate’s activity feed.
• Full screening report: A link to the detailed report in RoundOne.

This gives recruiters the information they need to review candidates without constantly switching between tools. They can also open the full report in RoundOne whenever they want to examine the assessment in more detail. And, as always, RoundOne doesn’t automatically reject candidates or move them through hiring stages. Your recruiters remain in control of every decision.

How to Connect RoundOne With Ashby

Getting started takes under 15 minutes, according to our setup guide. You’ll need an Ashby admin and a RoundOne organisation owner or admin to complete the setup. The integration requires two API keys, one from each platform. Here’s how to connect them. You can also access RoundOne directly from the Ashby Integration Marketplace.

Step 1: Open the Ashby Integration in RoundOne

Go to Settings → Integrations in RoundOne and select the Ashby tile. The Connect Ashby card will guide you through the setup.

Step 2: Generate Your RoundOne Key

Under the first step, click Generate key and copy the key. You’ll need to paste it into Ashby. For security, the key is displayed only once. If you lose it, you can rotate the key and use the new one in Ashby.

Step 3: Create an API Key in Ashby

Go to Admin → Integrations → API Keys in Ashby and create a new API key. Give it a name, such as “RoundOne API Key,” and select RoundOne AI as the integration partner. Ashby automatically configures the required permissions, so you don’t need to change them.

Copy the generated key and return to RoundOne. Paste it under the Ashby API key and click Save. RoundOne will verify the connection with Ashby.

Step 4: Enable RoundOne AI in Ashby

In Ashby, go to Admin → Integrations → Integrations and find RoundOne AI under Assessments.

Paste the RoundOne key into the relevant field and select the Ashby API key you created earlier. Leave the Staging Base URL empty unless RoundOne support asks you to use a test environment. Save your settings. RoundOne will confirm that Ashby has used your key and that the connection is ready.

Step 5: Activate the Integration

Return to RoundOne and click Activate under the final setup step. Once activated, the Ashby tile on your Integrations page will show Connected. Your RoundOne agents will now be available to add to your Ashby interview plans.

You can also follow our step-by-step Ashby integration guide for detailed instructions.

Bringing AI Screening and ATS Workflows Together

We built the RoundOne + Ashby integration to make AI screening a natural part of the hiring process, rather than another tool recruiters have to manage separately. You can create screening agents from your existing job descriptions, add them to interview plans, and review completed assessments directly in Ashby. Your team gets structured screening results without having to change the way it manages candidates.

Recruiters stay in control of when assessments begin and which candidates move forward, while RoundOne takes care of the screening and reporting.

If you are already using Ashby, connect it with RoundOne and start adding AI screening to your hiring workflow.
