Is HireStepX free to use?

Yes. Start with 3 full AI mock interviews, complete with real-time feedback, scores, and detailed performance reports. No credit card required.

How does the AI mock interview work?

Upload your resume, pick your target company and role, and choose from 10 interview types. The AI interviewer asks role-specific questions via voice, listens to your answers, asks follow-up questions, and delivers scored feedback after each session.

What types of interviews can I practice?

10 types: Behavioral, Technical, Strategic, Case Study, Campus Placement, HR Round, Panel, Management, Salary Negotiation, and Government/PSU. Each with 3 difficulty levels and mini or full session options.

Can I practice for specific companies like TCS, Infosys, or Google?

Yes. We support 50+ target companies including Google, Amazon, TCS, Infosys, Flipkart, Razorpay, McKinsey, Deloitte, and more, each with distinct interview patterns.

How is this different from ChatGPT or practicing with friends?

ChatGPT is text-only with no voice, no scoring, no resume integration, and no progress tracking. HireStepX is a purpose-built interview simulator: voice-based, resume-personalized, with detailed analytics.

Is my interview data private and secure?

Yes. Data is encrypted via Supabase with row-level security. Recordings and transcripts are never shared with employers or third parties. Delete everything anytime from Settings.

Does HireStepX work on mobile?

Yes, on any modern browser. For the best experience during mock interviews, use a laptop or desktop with a microphone.

How much does it cost compared to a career coach?

A single coaching session typically costs ₹3,000-10,000. HireStepX is ₹10 per session, or ₹149/month for 30 sessions with full AI coaching and analytics, available 24/7.

How it works

Five steps from upload to offer.

No fluffy demos. Here's exactly what happens, from the second you drop your resume to the offer call. Total time to first scored mock: under five minutes.

Start free: 3 sessions See pricing

01 · Upload resume

Tell us where you've been.

Drop a PDF or paste plain text. Our parser pulls roles, skills, dates, and projects. The AI uses this to ask questions about your actual experience, not generic ones. Resume stays private; never shared with employers or shown to other users.

We support resumes in English. Parsing typically takes 6 seconds. If parsing fails, you can fill in the gaps manually.

02 · Pick target

Choose the room you're walking into.

200+ Indian roles in the question bank: TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Razorpay, Zomato, Flipkart, Cred, Deloitte, ISRO, RBI, Paytm — across IT services, unicorns, PSUs, and MNCs. Pair with a role and round type: HR screen, technical, campus placement, panel, salary negotiation.

We refresh question patterns regularly as new public interview reports surface. Don't see your target company? Tell us and we'll add it within 48 hours.

03 · Practice live

Speak to a real AI interviewer.

The AI greets you, asks a question, listens to your voice, asks follow-ups when you're shallow, and pushes back when you contradict yourself. Average session: 18 minutes for short rounds, 45 for full panels.

Voice in / voice out. Indian, American, and British accents tuned. Works on any modern browser including Realme / Redmi-class Android on 4G.

04 · Get scored

STAR breakdown on every answer.

Every answer is scored on Situation, Task, Action, Result, plus communication clarity, technical depth, and authenticity. You get a 1–10 score, the rubric behind it, and a model answer to compare against.

Rubrics built from publicly aggregated interview reports across Glassdoor, Levels.fyi and AmbitionBox — each question cross-checked against two independent sources. Disagree with a score? Hit 'Dispute' and we review within 24h. Credit refunded if we agree.

05 · Track + return

Skill decay, surfaced.

Stop practicing for a week and your scores in weak areas slip. We track that. Your dashboard shows which competencies need a refresh and queues spaced-repetition prompts in the rounds you book next.

Spaced-repetition based on the SuperMemo SM-2 algorithm. Designed to make a 30-minute session per week sufficient to hold your edge.

Why this approach

Built on what works for Indian candidates.

Voice-native

Reading a question silently is not interview prep. We force you to speak, just like the actual room.

Rubric-honest

Every score is paired with the rubric and a model answer. You learn the standard, not just the verdict.

India-specific

TCS Digital, Infosys Power Programmer, Razorpay tech round: we know the actual pattern, not the generic FAANG template.
