Practice for hiring manager interviews
The hiring manager round is where offers are won or lost. Practice it out loud.
An AI hiring manager asks the deeper questions by voice and follows up when an answer stays general: the hardest problem you solved, how you work, your first 90 days, and why you.

The problem
This round tests how you think, not only what you did.
A recruiter checks fit and logistics. The hiring manager wants to know whether you can do the work: how you decided, what you traded off, and what you would do first.
Answers that sound fine in your head often stay general when you say them. A follow-up question is what shows it.

Questions
What does a hiring manager ask?
Questions about how you work: a hard problem and how you solved it, a disagreement, what you would do in your first 90 days, and why you are the right person. Priya asks these and follows up on general answers.
How is it different from the recruiter screen?
The recruiter screen checks interest, level, salary and timing. The hiring manager round goes deeper into how you think and whether you can do the job.
Can it practice the job I am actually applying for?
Yes. Enter the role and company in Create prep and it generates a practice interview for that job.
Do I talk to it or type?
By default, Priya speaks aloud and you answer by voice. You can also mute the AI voice or switch the session to text-only.
What does the feedback cover?
Each demo is scored against its own rubric. The review shows an overall score, a score for each dimension, a performance summary and coaching notes.
Is it free?
Your first interview is free, with its full scored review, and a free account can create one personalized scenario of your own. After that, each interview is a one-off $5, or unlimited on the Individual plan. No card required to sign up.
