Skills-based hiring platform for technical interviews, assessments and live coding
A multi-file IDE with whiteboard, structured scoring, private notes and code playback so interviewers can assess real problem solving rather than puzzle recall.
Automated pre-screens built from practical engineering tasks, with clear scoring that helps recruiters move qualified candidates forward faster.
AI assistants work with code context, prompts are captured, and AI reviewers rank video or code submissions against your own rubric.
Adaptive tests, activity monitoring, real-time alerts and playback reports help detect suspicious behaviour without manual review.

AI interview coaching that turns your stories into STAR-structured answers
Build a practice set by target job title, company or skill, or generate custom questions from your resume, the job description or your own list.
Record a response and the AI interviewer works through the Situation, Task, Action and Result components with you, collecting additional detail until each step is clearly addressed.
Hold a back-and-forth conversation with the AI interviewer, which asks follow-up questions that build on your previous statements rather than reading from a fixed script.
Each session ends with per-response scores, improvement recommendations and badges that track how your scores rise over time.
