Mock Interview
A realistic practice interview run live with the candidate — planned questions calibrated to the target role and round, a real-time interview with pressure follow-ups, and a kind, specific debrief: strengths in the candidate's own words, fixes with sketched stronger answers, one drill, and an honest readiness read. The debrief is the deliverable. Use before any real interview round.
How it runs
| # | Step | Who runs it | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Plan the interview | Developer | six to ten calibrated questions with planned follow-up chains |
| 2 | Conduct the interview | Developer | the live practice round, transcribed as it runs |
| 3 | Write the debrief | Developer | kind, specific, grounded in the transcript |
| 4 | Evaluate | Reviewer | Grade the deliverable against every acceptance criterion. All pass → finish; any fail → loop back and fix the gap. |
| 5 | Finish | Developer | All acceptance criteria met. Stamp a short summary and report DONE. |
