An excellent tool, congrats to all the team at Swgy for getting this live. Candidates can get the practice that they need for interviews and HR can streamline their part of the process. As a recruiter myself I can't stress the importance of interview prep and this is the best tool I've seen!

@adam_byrne1 Thanks Adam! Great to get the perspective of a recruiter, especially that also from your perspective interview prep is key.

Massive fan of this Product - I got a few invites to an early version and was blown away by the concept. It's a really clever way of helping candidates practice their interview skills while at the same time giving them a perspective on what it's like to be on the other side of the table. Excited to see where the Swyg team take this next!

@patrick_finlay Thanks Patrick! Glad you liked the experience. Do you have any suggestions for what interview topics we should add?

@vincentropy would be cool to see mock pathways designed after a certain company - like a Google/MSFT Interview loop with questions from Glassdoor

@patrick_finlay That's a great idea, I think the interviews at Google/MSFT are typically really tough. We could create an "elite" session that is modeled after some of the toughest interviews in the world. What's the hardest interview you've ever had to do?

👋 Hello Product Hunters! Looking for work is really hard, especially now. That's why we built Swyg Interview Practice to give candidates a boost. I've seen so many amazingly talented people struggle in interviews and not get the job they love. I've been in that place myself. What I learned the hard way is that the only way to improve is lots of practice. Getting through an interview is, of course, not the only part of getting a job but it is a stage where you only get one shot and every bit of help can give you the edge you need to get the job. 👉 Swyg Interview Practice is designed to be collaborative. Candidates help other candidates by interviewing each other. This way, you get to practice interviewing the way it works in real life: with a real partner that can challenge you and ask follow up questions. In the end, the feedback you get comes from us. We'll help you understand your own strengths and weaknesses to help you improve and boost your confidence. Here is what you get: ✅ Several short 1:1 video chats with a partner ✅ Swyg provides questions and instructions, so no need to prepare ✅ Practice your own answers ✅ See the answers of others ✅ Get impartial feedback from Swyg to help you improve We're doing this as a service to the community. ❌ We do not sell your data to anyone. ❌ No fees, ever. We'd love to get some feedback to help us improve and I'm happy to answer any questions. Enjoy, and good luck!

Great tool! Interviewing is a skill most people don't practice enough, which is surprising when you think about the doors a good interview will open. Love the starter questions to get the conversation moving and also the feedback at the end. Well done!

Thanks @jleenane! Totally agree that interviewing is an undervalued skill among candidates. I had to learn that the hard way and I think a lot of other people did too.

OK Swig looks really cool. I am building a startup and I can see how this would standardise how I would assess talent (very daunting) and let me access the huge pool of remote folks who could be the ideal match for me. I don't always know what I need to ask or know, but the ideal candidate's peers would pre-iron all that out for me. This is definitely the way to go. Well done.

@colm_casey Great to hear you like what we're doing. You're spot on that that's where we're headed. Right now we're looking to give candidates a helping hand but our aim is to change the way interviewing is done for everyone and to help companies like yours find the best people to hire.

This sounds great. Especially since a lot of interviews are being done remote right now and I imagine that remote interviewing can be an uncomfortable first experience.

@davej Good point! What do you think makes remote interviewing so uncomfortable at first?
