Great point about accessibility. We're definitely committed to making Prepin inclusive for all users. TDD support is one option, and we're also exploring text-based interview modes and real-time transcription features. The goal is to ensure everyone can practice and improve their interview skills regardless of hearing ability. Thanks for bringing this up - accessibility should be built in from the start, not an afterthought.

You raise excellent points about GDPR compliance. Just to clarify - Prepin is a mock interview practice platform, not an actual hiring tool. Users practice with our AI to prepare for real interviews, so no employment decisions are being made. That said, you're absolutely right about data processing concerns - we still handle voice, PII, etc. during practice sessions. We'd definitely benefit from your expertise on proper GDPR compliance for AI-powered interview practice tools.

Would love to discuss the regulatory landscape further - please reach out to [email protected] when you have a chance.

Thanks for trying Prepin!

That 20-second hang bug has actually been resolved since you tested it. If you'd like to give it another shot, you should get the full smooth experience now - no more awkward silences. Really appreciate the feedback about it being more professional than most screening calls, that's exactly what we're going for!

Enter your phone number, get called in 30 seconds for a 2–3 minute AI-powered screening interview.

Current MVP scope Right now it handles general screening questions and generates simple reports. We’re validating demand before building:

Technical screening libraries

ATS integrations

Custom question sets per role or company

Multi-language support

Who we’re looking for We’d love feedback from recruiters and startup founders who are (or soon will be) running hiring processes.

Request for feedback Please actually try the call first—I know it sounds gimmicky, but the voice quality will surprise you. Then let us know:

Did it feel natural?

Would you be comfortable being screened this way?

If you hire, could you see your team using this?

What needs improvement?

To see the full recruiter dashboard, leave your email on the page and we’ll send you the demo.

This is just an MVP to test the concept. Curious what HN thinks—future of recruiting or unnecessary automation?

you make a valid point - at L7+ levels, the role becomes much more complex with leadership, strategy, and organizational dynamics playing bigger roles. While we currently focus on helping developers up to senior/lead levels demonstrate their technical abilities, expanding to support higher-level leadership positions is on our roadmap

I hear your concerns about AI's role in hiring. Our goal isn't to dehumanize interviews, but rather to help candidates build real confidence and skills in a low-pressure environment. We aim to make the hiring process more accessible and fair, not more artificial

I understand the privacy concern - that's why we don't store any video/audio data and only use practice sessions to provide immediate feedback. We're developers ourselves and take data privacy seriously.

I can explain why we intentionally keep interviews to 20 minutes - research and our experience show that's the sweet spot for productive technical interviews. Longer sessions often lead to mental fatigue and diminishing returns, while our focused format helps candidates maintain peak performance and get actionable feedback. Plus, you can do multiple sessions to practice different skills, making it much more effective than one long, exhausting interview

that's why our interview prep platform focuses on teaching developers how to effectively communicate their technical decisions and problem-solving process, rather than just meeting skills

OlehSavchuk | 1 year ago | on: AI realtime mock interview tool

real software development requires human judgment and collaboration that can't be delegated to AI. While our platform helps you practice communication skills, the goal is to make YOU better at expressing YOUR technical insights, not to have AI speak for you in actual meetings

OlehSavchuk | 1 year ago | on: AI realtime mock interview tool

what ultimately matters is your ability to solve real problems and deliver value through code. Our platform focuses on helping candidates effectively demonstrate their genuine technical skills and problem-solving abilities

OlehSavchuk | 1 year ago | on: AI realtime mock interview tool

our AI is a practice tool to help you improve your actual interview skills, not replace them. Just like a flight simulator helps pilots prepare for real flights, our platform helps developers prepare for real interviews where their genuine technical skills and experience matter.
