Hey - I really like the idea! Can you explain how the interview process will actually work? Do you oversee the interview process or is it a nominated "interviewer"? I'm also interested to know - can anyone sign up to be an an interviewer or do you select a pool of interviewers who then conduct the interviews for users? How do you incentivise people to act as interviewers? Finally (as i'm not too techy) will there by a way for beginners / less developed coders to practice too?

Thanks!

Practice interviews on Pramp are bi-directional. Every user is both an interviewee and an interviewer on each interview. We oversee the process by matching between likeminded peers with similar skills, background and abilities and by providing prep material before interviews.

We're not a fit for beginners yet, as our interview questions take solid understanding of CS & coding just like real technical interview at tech companies. However, we plan to add this later.

Fair enough- looking forward to the beginner mode :)

So over time is it that a user get ranked for being a better or less good interviewer and the better you are, the higher level of interview partner you get?

Yes. We consider that when pairing you to your peers to make sure that you are both a fit for each other.
