Why Rounded
Skills gaps are invisible — until you measure them
Rounded turns fuzzy “soft skills” into clear scores, guided training and progress you can show to leadership.
Measure what matters
Standardized assessments across communication, AI fluency, problem solving and planning — scored automatically and consistently.
See progress, not just scores
Employability levels, KRI reports and department analytics show exactly who is improving and where to invest training.
Scale without spreadsheets
Onboard hundreds of employees in bulk, organize by department, and let managers run their own cohorts.
The skill toolkit
Five modules. One employability score.
Assign the modules that fit each role — every result rolls up into a single, comparable report.

For organizations
Northwind Systems
Our support team’s written quality was all over the place. Six weeks after the baseline, Business Communication scores were up 22 points — and client escalations fell with them.
Rachel BennettHead of L&D · Northwind Systems
Brightlane Group
We used to run workshops and hope. Now every joiner has a baseline, a coaching plan and a re-measure date. That’s the difference between training and proof.
Daniel CarterVP People Operations · Brightlane Group
Kestrel Analytics
Onboarding took three months before anyone was client-ready. We cut that to six weeks — and we can show the board exactly why.
Sophie TurnerTalent Development Lead · Kestrel Analytics
Halcyon Services
We had no real idea how well the team used AI. Now we can see who writes a prompt that gets usable work back — and coach the ones who don’t.

Four departments live in a single quarter. Bulk upload and the department reports made the rollout genuinely painless.

From employees
I used to freeze on client calls. The speaking practice gave me feedback I could actually act on — I led my first client update last month.
Olivia GrantAssociate Consultant
My emails were long and vague. The Business Communication module showed me exactly where I was losing the point.
James WhitfieldSupport Specialist
I was firing one-line prompts at AI and getting rubbish back. Learning to give it proper context changed how much I get through in a day.
Hannah BrooksCustomer Success Executive
Watching my score move week by week is what kept me going. It stopped feeling like another training I had to sit through.
Ethan ColeJunior Analyst
The problem-solving scenarios read like real tickets. When the real one landed, I already knew how to think it through.
Grace SullivanTechnical Support Engineer
Planning my day properly sounds like a small thing. It’s the reason I stopped missing deadlines.

FAQ
Questions we often hear
Who is Rounded for?
Organizations that want to assess and grow employability skills — corporates, IT services companies, training teams, and institutions preparing people for the workplace.
Which skills can we assess?
Five modules: Communication Essentials (speaking, listening, reading, writing), Business Communication for corporate scenarios (written and spoken), AI Fluency (prompting and working with AI), Problem Solving, and Planning & Time Management.
How do we add hundreds of employees?
Use the bulk-upload feature with our Excel template. Any rows that fail validation are listed clearly so you can fix and re-upload them.
Can different managers handle different departments?
Yes. Create departments, appoint training managers, and each manager works with their own team’s employees, tests and reports.
How does pricing work?
Pricing depends on the modules you choose and your number of learners. Book a demo and we’ll share a tailored quote after understanding your needs.
Can we start with a pilot?
Yes. Start with a pilot on one team or department, capture the baseline, coach and re-measure, then scale once you can see the results.
How long does setup take?
Guided onboarding walks your admin through organization details and password setup, and our team helps you configure departments and the first cohort.
