Best for hiring engineers who passed mock interviews
interviewing.io lets you interview engineers anonymously, drawn from people whose mock technical interviews cleared a bar. It supplies candidates from its own pool, it's not a test library or an ATS, and the employer fee isn't stated beyond paying when candidates pass.
Who interviewing.io is for
- Fits if you're hiring software engineers and want candidates already screened on a live interview
- Works for teams that would rather pay on results than for seats
Who interviewing.io is not for
- Skip it if you want a test library or an ATS, because it's neither
- Not for you if you want a price: no plan or fee is listed
- Watch out: candidate mock interviews are a separate paid product, premium from $179
- Too light for non-engineering roles, as the pool is engineers
Why interviewing.io gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published, so we can't set it against the $74 to $149 a month this category charges. That leaves it at C.
- DFree plan and trialThe employers page says to get started for free, but the fee and terms aren't stated beyond paying when candidates pass your bar. We can't call that a clear trial.
- CFeaturesPerformance-based candidate pipeline and anonymous interviews. It supplies candidates from its own pool and isn't an ATS or test library.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and the listing shows interviews to schedule with candidates you've never met. That puts it at C.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no separate app on record. One kind of device, so C.

Keep interviewing.io, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace interviewing.io you would be making video calls. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 48 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher.
What you could not
- Video calls.
- Jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board.
- A library of tested questions with scores to compare candidates by.
What this rests on. interviewing.io’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
