Couple friends and I built this cause we hated the direction that technical recruiting is going in. There's so much 'cheating' and inconsistent interviewing where great talent gets lost because companies care so much about correct solutions and time crunch interviews. But that's because they don't have the resources to do more than that for their candidates, or they'd just be spending all their time interviewing and doing on-sites.

So we wanted to come up with a better solution than take-home tests and solely T1 college or FAANG hiring, where everyone gets a fair chance to show what they bring to the table (comprehensively).

So we built 'Candora' - AI led coding, system design, and behavioral interviews to evaluate technical depth, collaboration, and problem solving, not just final answers. We use real time conversational AI and evaluate the entire audio playback, transcript, all their code/whiteboard iterations, and more, to assess how they did and build their profile.

Teams end up saving a huge amount of engineering time and candidates get a way more involved/consistent chance to put their best foot forward.

On the side we built a mock interviewing platform geared towards helping people prep for rounds. You can get feedback and replay sessions, without needing to schedule or pay someone.

If you want to try an interview, you can start one here (its free): https://candora.ai/try?from=hn

Would love feedback from the HN community. Thanks
