You certainly wouldn't hire someone from a cold email. But if they seem like they're the kind of person who's smart and gets things done, you can certainly get them into the process. The purpose of these emails is just go get

This is very good advice. Because OP doesn't talk about how to write emails, here's how to write good cold emails to hiring managers/employees/CEOs: https://interviewing.io/blog/how-to-get-in-the-doo

You can try to short-circuit the AI Interviewer by just entering your solution into the IDE. OR you can ask to end the interview, and then you'll get a link to the solution. We built it this way on purpose, though... the intent is to m

We use Clearbit for enrichment: https://clearbit.com/ That said, all interviews on interviewing.io are anonymous unless you and your interviewer both explicitly opt in to unmask.

OP here. A few of you have asked why we made these problems free. The answer is twofold, simple, and maybe even a bit underwhelming: 1) We want people to read the book (To wit, we've also made 9 chapters of the book free: http:/&

I agree with what Mike said. We shared the content because we want people to read the book and to use interviewing.io... it's not because we've given up on it (see my longer comment about it: https://news.ycombinator.co

I've seen hundreds of people do this without ill effect. I know it's counterintuitive, but it works. The times it doesn't work are listed in the post, but it's basically when there's limited headcount.

Thank you for sharing that. I am floored. Do you have some time to talk? You don't have to, and it'd be a big favor to ask for your time, but I'd love the opportunity to dig in a bit more because this is really surprising to

100%. I agree with everything you said. The interview is supposed to be about whether someone can master new stuff. I've heard good interviews described as "being smart together". Drilling on questions flies in the face of th

Shoot me an email at aline@interviewing.io if you'd like some mock interviews on us. I'm sorry we didn't get you there... but if it's a matter of more reps to get your speed up, happy to get you those for free. I hope Mi

Ok, there are some things to keep in mind when negotiating with founders rather than recruiters. (I just grabbed this from the book and edited it down a bit.) At young startups (seed and possibly Series A), there often isn't a recruiti

Hey! Not sure if you used our negotiation service or just used advice from one of our blog posts. I'll write a long response below, but obviously my long response doesn't help you if your offer got rescinded for negotiating. If it

We did an experiment at interviewing.io a few months ago where we asked interviewees to try to cheat with AI, unbeknownst to their interviewers. In parallel, we asked interviewers to use one of 3 question types: verbatim LeetCode questions,

Yes, companies do indeed have more applications than they want (I'd argue that means the market IS competitive). The point I was making is that even though companies don't want to hire juniors through us, they still DO WANT to hir

Founder of interviewing.io here. Clarification: Just because companies don't want a 3rd party like us providing them with junior candidates, it doesn't mean they don't want them. Even back in 2017-2019, when the market was bo
