Prepare clients for interviews

Enhances✓ Available Now

What You Do Today

You run mock interviews — behavioral, case, panel, and executive. You coach on storytelling, body language, question strategy, and the subtle dynamics of how to build rapport with an interviewer in the first 90 seconds.

AI That Applies

AI mock interview tools can simulate common question types, provide feedback on answer structure, and analyze response patterns. Video analysis can assess pace, filler words, and confidence signals.

Technologies

How It Works

AI interview prep tools generate likely questions based on the specific role and company. Video analysis provides feedback on pace, eye contact (in video interviews), filler words, and answer length. AI scoring rates answers against behavioral interview frameworks (STAR, etc.).

What Changes

Clients can practice more between coaching sessions. Mechanical feedback (pace, filler words) is automated, freeing you to focus on content and strategy.

What Stays

The human coaching. Knowing that this client's biggest barrier is confidence, not content. Hearing the answer that's technically correct but emotionally flat. Coaching someone to be authentically compelling, not robotically polished.

What To Do Next

This section won't tell you what your numbers should be. It will show you how to find them yourself. Every instruction below produces a real, verifiable result in your organization. No benchmarks, no projections — just the steps to build your own evidence.
