#12Silly question, why not chat (which can be saved for review etc) instead of audio?

#13I can easily see the benefit it provides for the interviewees, but what's in it for the interviewers?
I think this site is ignoring the value add for the interviewers as well. Interviewing others is a skill and takes practice and dedication. Many people just take some coding question and ask a candidate without thinking it through much and what they're actually analyzing. It would be good practice for interviewers as well.

#14I really wish this had existed a year ago when I panicked during an interview. Having this type of practice is ideal in my mind for any type of technical role.
I, too, am curious about sustaining this service though. Have you considered offering tiers for participants?

#15As minor feedback, it would be great if the "How it works" section actually contained how it works info.
I only see 3 steps that look more like facts than actual "how's". Totally free fully anonymous and interviewers from top companies. How does that explain how it works?
I would prefer something like:
1) Signup 2) List all available interviewers (or interviews, or subjects or something) 3) Select one, schedule it 4) Have an interview 5) See results!
Or something like that.
I have found that when you use a question as a webpage, blog or other text, it's really good when you actually answer said question instead of not. Or don't use a question as a section title perhaps?
I would be much more interested in this neat idea if I had a better way of evaluating it I had more info.
Edit: For example, can I select interviews by subject? or by interviewer ex-employer, or by level (basic, advanced, etc) or is it random? Can I rate the interviewer as well?

hmm, so audio is closer to what you'd get in the wild, ultimately making for more indicative practice. logging it might be useful down the line, though, in some format (provided users agree to that)!

Every interview you run has positive expected value - you get better at the process, and it may end up in a positive-value hire. If you've got low opportunity-cost time, this is a great tool for consuming it.

#20I have had Aline Lerner reach out to me as a recruiter before. She is one of the best. She worked hard to find great matches.
