How it works

From upload to scorecard in ~20 minutes

A quick, visual walkthrough of the whole experience — so you know exactly what to expect before you begin.

⏱ ~20 minutes· 🔓 No account needed· 📧 Report emailed
✉️1

Verify your email

Enter your email and we send a 6-digit code — no password, no account required. The code confirms it's you and opens a secure session.

💡 In demo mode the code appears right on the screen.

📄2

Upload the JD & your resume

Add the job description and your resume (PDF, DOCX or TXT). We extract the text locally and redact personal info before anything reaches the AI.

💡 Direct identifiers are redacted from your documents — and later your answers — before any model call. Originals are deleted right after parsing.

🎯3

Confirm your profile

We auto-detect your seniority and match your skills against the JD. Confirm your level, pick 3–5 focus skills, rate your confidence, and optionally name target companies.

💡 JD must-have skills stay locked in so the interview is always relevant.

💳4

Pay the one-time fee

A single fee reserves one interview attempt plus your detailed scorecard. The no-refund policy is shown before you pay.

💡 Secure checkout via Razorpay (auto-approved in demo mode).

💬5

Take the adaptive interview

The AI asks one question at a time, streaming each like a real interviewer and adapting follow-ups to your answers. There's a question count and a time box.

💡 Pasting is disabled and tab-switches are noticed — playful nudges keep it honest.

📊6

Get your scorecard

An overall score, per-competency bars, and a question-by-question breakdown that quotes your own words, diagnoses each answer, and shows a stronger rewrite.

💡 A copy is emailed to you, and you can export a PDF.

The difference

Feedback anchored to your actual words

No generic praise. Every critique quotes what you said, explains exactly why it lands or falls flat, and shows a stronger version you can reuse. If feedback could apply to anyone, we treat it as a defect.

  • Verbatim quote of your answer
  • A direct, specific diagnosis
  • A concrete stronger rewrite
  • A one-tap drill for the weak spot
Ownership · from your resume6/10

Walk me through a decision on the billing migration that went wrong.

Specificity 5Ownership 4Impact 6
You said

“We helped roll out the new billing system and it mostly went fine.”

“We helped” is passive and hides your role; “mostly fine” has no measurable outcome — at senior level, quantified impact is expected.

Stronger version

“I owned the rollout plan, sequenced the cutover to avoid downtime, and we migrated 2M accounts with zero billing errors.”

⚡ Re-answer this question

Type or speak a stronger answer and InterviewIQ re-grades it instantly — so you see your score climb 6 → 8 before the real interview.

Good to know

Do I need an account?+

No. Guests can take a one-shot interview. Optionally enable an account to keep your history and unlock progress trends over time.

Is my resume private?+

Yes. Personal identifiers are redacted before any AI sees your text, originals are deleted immediately after extraction, and you can request deletion of everything at any time.

What if I get disconnected?+

The interview is resumable — reopen it and you'll pick up at the exact question you were on, within the allowed window.

Can I end early?+

Yes, via the 'End interview' button (double-confirmed). We'll score whatever you've answered so far.
