Companies won't want to do this beyond releasing a token video or two because interviewees would use them to prepare narrowly to the exam, memorizing the questions, and fail on the job.

There are interview training companies like interviewing.io that pair you up with employees from the desired companies for mock interviews. This is pretty close to what you propose to do.

Finally I think this is a bad business opportunity because people will only use your product once every few years.

I understand your perspective and thanks for mentioning interviewing.io. Totally appreciate it! While mock interviews with employees from the desired company can be valuable, our platform offers an additional layer of insights through real interview recordings.

With real recordings, job seekers get an authentic glimpse into actual interview experiences, observing real interactions and learning from both successful and unsuccessful outcomes.

By providing an authentic glimpse into the interview process, our platform offers job seekers a firsthand experience of what interviews for a specific role are truly like. This practical and realistic understanding can significantly enhance their confidence and improve their interview skills.

While the value may vary depending on individual preferences, I believe that real recordings can complement mock interviews, providing unique insights and learnings for job seekers.

*And about it being a bad business opportunity since people would only use it once in a few years, I totally get that and if I pull this off by any chance, that’s definitely one of the first things I’d have to look into.

Yet realtors and car salesmen are doing fine.
