Mock Rounds can be quite useful for candidates and they might be willing to pay for it too. But harder problem is supply of professionals.
This works well when there is wide range of professionals conducting these rounds. Most professionals (good ones) are tied to their jobs, make good money and would rather spend and hour with family or friends than conducting an interview that pays less than 50$ or so.
You can check out tripple byte, although not similar model but they seem to have figured out supply side well, mostly due to its association with YC.
- nisthana 10y agoHi @mindhash - excellent point. I completely agree that supply is key. However that is the side I am much confident about. I have been fortunate to work for some of the best silicon valley companies so have built a network of talented professionals overtime. Some of them would definitely not do it for $50 but a lot more may be willing to spend their free time doing this. Also the way I am thinking of implementing it (if I ever do depending on the demand), is very non-intrusive. In my mind, the mock interviews do not need to be face to face all the time, they can be done in an asynchronous way (I can share details if you'd like). I created a landing page to gather the interest but not sure where to share the link so I can get people to give me feedback. I know tripple byte and you are right, they depend on their YC network. I am also dependent on my personal network hoping if there is enough demand I can convince my talented friends to do it :-)) Thanks a lot for your feedback
