TLDR: Mindely is the first Generative AI interviewer for advanced interview rounds. We make it easy to scale and improve complex, time-consuming interviews for high turnover, high volume corporate roles.

Hey everyone! We are building Mindely: the first AI agent that conducts advanced rounds interviews.

Check out our demo of a case study interview for a consulting position:

❌ The problem:

After spending a couple of years in strategy consulting and tech, we realized that a certain category of roles: consultants, analysts, customer representatives, salespeople… have 2 pain points in common regarding interviews*:

1. They are all “High-Volume High-Turnover” roles:

   • Very wide pool of applicants (up to 200,000+ candidates per year per company)
   • Interviews are run on a rolling basis to compensate for the high turnover rate (20%+ p.a.)
   • Interviews are conducted directly by non-HR peers (e.g., Senior Managers, Partners…) since candidates must tested on on-the-job complex reasoning skills, communication skills, and personality traits
   • Very limited availability and huge opportunity cost for the peers to conduct the interviews (up to $500/h for a Senior Manager in Consulting)

2. Candidate experience and selection is flawed across the recruiting process:

   • Unconscious interviewer bias
   • Interview formats and evaluation criteria vary from one interviewer to the next
   • Interviewers often rely heavily on discussing a candidate’s past experience vs testing their actual role-related skills
   • Interviewer fatigue impacts candidate assessment
   • Candidates from non-traditional backgrounds often don’t get the chance to interview because of limited interviewer availability

*Interviews for strategic & analytical roles (e.g., consultants) are case study interviews: the candidate has to work through a complex business problem. Interviews for customer-facing roles (e.g., salesperson) are ideally based on interactive role-plays.

💡 The Solution:

Mindely enables unbiased, skill-based recruiting at scale for complex roles.

Unlike traditional AI Interviewers, Mindely is the first AI interviewer that can run complex ‘human-like’ interviews 24/7:

1. Fully interactive with adaptive, unscripted questions & answers that replicate human interactions
2. Understands the whole context for a complex case study or role-play interview
3. Thinks like a human with a candidate to challenge them (e.g., hypothesis testing, follow-up questions, hints…)
4. Fully customizable in terms of content & evaluation criteria
