Both sides of the interview table

Interviews are the highest-stakes conversation most people have all year, and the one they get least feedback on. Ghostbar helps you prepare against realistic pressure, and helps interviewers run a fairer, better-recorded process.

Practising under pressure

Run a mock interview out loud, get the transcript, and see where you rambled, hedged, or answered a different question than the one asked.

Interviewing someone else

Keep the live transcript running so your notes aren't a reconstruction an hour later, and ask for follow-up probes on an answer that sounded thin.

Debriefing honestly

Score against what the candidate actually said, quoted from the transcript, instead of against how confident they sounded.

Reviewing a take-home

Analyze Screen reads the code in front of you and helps you form specific questions about it before the follow-up call.

Worth knowing

Many employers and nearly all proctored assessments prohibit outside assistance during an interview, and using Ghostbar in one may breach their rules or your agreement with them. Check what applies to you before you rely on it in an assessed setting — that decision is yours, and so are the consequences.
