Interviewbuddy - Visakhpatnam

With InterviewBuddy, one gets to practice interviewing with senior industry experts anytime, on-demand. Each practice interview is followed by the expert's feedback and a detailed Interview Performance Report. The entire interview gets auto-recorded which enables the user to playback & review their performance and this helps in self-improvement. For Tech Interviews, a real-time note pad is used for collaborating with the expert interviewer. As there is no software to download, all a user needs is a web browser and an internet connection.

Our industry experts include CXOs, VPs, technical recruiters and hiring managers from multi-national companies. We vet our interviewers for their hiring as well as domain expertise before onboarding and ensure only the best of the best join up. This helps us maintain consistency and world-class interviewing experience to all our users.

InterviewBuddy Pro is our B2B solution - a simple cloud-based video interviewing solution for hiring, recruitment, appraisals, employee counselling, etc which can also be helpful during grievance handling and compliance. We are working on a few AI based upgrades such as sentiment and voice analysis to help employers quickly and effectively scout through thousands of profiles/resumes & make the right hire on-time.
