About Interview Optimiser

Interview Optimiser is an AI-powered platform that helps job seekers prepare for interviews through realistic, voice-to-voice mock interviews. Their mission is to equip candidates with confidence and clarity by simulating high-pressure interview scenarios.

By implementing Hume's Empathic Voice Interface (EVI), they deliver dynamic, adaptive conversations and provide feedback on vocal delivery—such as tone, confidence, and emotional regulation.

The Challenge

Interview Optimiser approached Hume AI with a clear challenge: traditional interview prep tools fail to simulate real interview dynamics. Candidates typically struggle with unrealistic practice, lack feedback on vocal delivery, and remain blind to presentation weaknesses.

The Solution: Empathic AI for Interview Prep

Hume's EVI API enabled Interview Optimiser to create a transformative interview prep experience through several key capabilities:

Real-Time Voice-to-Voice Interviews: Hume's EVI powers dynamic, conversational mock interviews that closely mirror real interview conditions, helping candidates practice under realistic pressure.

Prosody-Based Feedback: Candidates receive comprehensive analysis of vocal tone, confidence levels, and engagement patterns through detailed prosody analysis that text-based tools cannot provide.

Adaptive AI System: The platform adjusts questions and conversational tone based on candidate responses, creating personalized experiences that identify and address individual weaknesses.

Results

The integration of Hume's EVI has delivered impressive improvements across multiple metrics:

  • 76% reduction in per-session costs, making quality interview preparation more accessible and scalable
  • 23% higher retention among users receiving prosody feedback
  • 60% of users rated the experience as "more realistic than expected"
  • Enhanced recruiter efficiency through comprehensive vocal delivery analytics

User Testimonials:

The feedback on my vocal delivery was eye-opening. I never realized how nervous I sounded until I used Interview Optimiser.

The AI interviewer felt so real—it helped me practice under pressure in a way no other tool could.

Our partnership with Interview Optimiser demonstrates the power of Hume's empathic AI in transforming interview preparation. By providing realistic voice interactions with deep emotional analysis capability, Hume AI is helping their platform enable candidates to present their best selves—while giving recruiters richer insights into candidate potential.
