Practice interviews

A real interviewer.
Your CV.
A graded round.

Ten to twenty-five minutes, out loud, against someone who has read your CV and the job description and asks what you actually know rather than only what you did. It comes back graded on seven dimensions, with your own words quoted back at you — and, like everything here, you are scored on how you handled it and never on whether you got the job.

Start with a free roundWhat it costs

Every account gets one free five-minute screen. No card.

The rounds

Five formats,
and they are different interviews.

A recruiter screen does not test fundamentals and a system design round does not touch your CV. Picking the wrong one is the fastest way to practise the wrong thing, so the shape is stated on every option rather than hidden behind a name.

  • ScreenerFree
    5 min · Behavioural

    Five minutes. Two or three questions and one back to them.

  • Recruiter screen1 credit
    10 min · Behavioural

    Ten minutes. Motivation, background, and whether you can say what you did.

  • Technical2 credits
    20 min · Projects + fundamentals

    Twenty minutes. Your projects, and the fundamentals underneath them. Expect to be asked how things work, not only what you built.

  • Deep technical2 credits
    25 min · System design

    Twenty-five minutes. A system design problem, taken all the way down. Not about your CV.

  • Final round2 credits
    20 min · Behavioural

    Twenty minutes of behavioural questions and the ones you ask back.

A ten-minute recruiter screen is one credit; every longer round — technical, deep technical, final — is two.

The second track

The same engine,
pointed at an interview.

An interviewer who has read your CV and the job description, asks what you actually know rather than only what you did, and comes back with a graded scorecard. Ten to twenty-five minutes, four interviewers, five round types — and the same rule as everywhere else: you are scored on how you handled it, never on whether you got the job.

  • It has read your CV

    Upload it once and the questions are about your work. Skip it and the round still runs on the role, the field and the job description.

  • It asks what you know

    A technical round mines a project for the fundamental underneath it. A system design round does not touch your CV at all.

  • Seven scored dimensions

    Structure, specificity, listening, composure, signal reading, the questions you asked back — and technical accuracy, which abstains rather than guess.

Every account gets one free five-minute recruiter screen. It is the real thing, not a demo — the same interviewer, the same grading, five minutes instead of twenty. After that, interviews are bought by the interview rather than by the month — see pricing.

The scorecard

Outcome is never
part of the score.

Six dimensions, every rep, each one quoting your own words back at you. Whether she gave you a number, agreed to anything, or walked away contributes exactly zero. A sloppy rep that got lucky scores 54.

Maya · Tier 3 · She left

Warmth finished at 58 and she was never armed. None of that is in the number.

Went wellYou gave her something she could use and then left before she had to end it.“Then I’ll leave you to it”
  • Opening

    Did you start it at all.

  • Curiosity

    Did you go past her first answer.

  • Listening

    Did you use what she gave you.

  • Signal reading

    Did you read her, and adjust.

  • Composure

    Did you stay steady when it wobbled.

  • Close

    Did you leave well, including on a no.

What it costs

Bought by the interview,
not by the month.

Demand for this is episodic — you need four of them the week before an onsite and none for three months — so it is sold as credits rather than as a subscription. Pro and Elite include some each month if you want the habit instead.

Two credits
$9one-off

$4.50 per credit

One full round of any kind, graded. For the call on Thursday.

2 credits · never expires

Eight credits
$29one-off

$3.63 per credit

A week of preparation: a technical, a final, a deep technical and a screen.

8 credits · never expires

Twenty credits
$59one-off

$2.95 per credit

A whole job hunt. Every round type, several times each.

20 credits · never expires

Interviews you buy never expire and stay in the account if you cancel. The ones a subscription includes are part of that month and do not roll over.

Every account gets one free five-minute recruiter screen. It is the real thing, not a demo — the same interviewer, the same grading, five minutes instead of twenty. Pro includes 2 interview credit a month and Elite 6, on top of the daily voice reps — see pricing.

What it is not

It does not
feed you answers.

Several tools in this category listen to the interview and write your reply on a second screen. This is the opposite of that, on purpose: the point is to be the person who can answer, in a room where nobody is helping.

  • Training, not coaching about you

    Confidence and communication practice. Not therapy, not treatment, and not advice about your career.

  • No promise about the job

    Nobody can promise an outcome they do not control, so we do not. What is measured is how you handled the room.

One free round

Five minutes,
and it is the real thing.

The free screener is not a demo — same interviewer, same grading, five minutes instead of twenty. It is the shortest honest answer to “is this any good”.
