Interview Outsourcing

You need good interviewers to select good candidates. Outsource the interviewing process to us.

We can perform technical interviews in a variety of programming languages and covering any kind of focus, such as:

  • System Design and Coding
  • System Design
  • Coding
  • Algorithms

Follow the general directions under Book time with us to discuss this.

Interview Coaching

Interviewing is a skill, and we can coach you on how to interview well. The best way to practice is to go through a mock interview. We offer mock interviews in a variety of programming languages; after the mock interview, we provide a full debrief covering what you did well, what to improve on, and more.

Choose from one of these interview types:

  • System Design and Coding
  • System Design
  • Coding
  • Algorithms

Book 90 minutes: 10 min introduction, 50 min mock interview, 30 min debrief. In your message, let us know what type of interview you are interested in, and your language of choice. For example:

  • "90 minutes for a 'System Design and Coding' mock interview in Java"
  • "90 minutes for an 'Algorithms' mock interview in Python"

Feel free to include a link to your résumé so we can tailor the session to your experience level.
