amainterview ai review after a couple weeks of using it for real interviews
had some leftover paypal credit and amainterview was running an entry tier promo so I pulled the trigger.
I strongly believe in having some kind of real time helper during remote interviews because I blank out the second a recruiter asks me anything open ended. That being said I did a full month of phone screens last winter with literally nothing in front of me except a notebook and my own panic. Doesn't mean it was the right move.
Anyways, I installed amainterview and ran it through a couple of practice mocks where I had chatgpt play the interviewer, then about four real interviews over the next two weeks. While I will probably keep using it for the remainder of the month because of the promo, I am unimpressed with the actual interview performance. The transcription was fine in a quiet room but the second a recruiter had a bit of background noise it started missing chunks of the question. Answers it spit out were okay for behavioral stuff but felt a little textbook for anything technical. The suggestion box also kept popping up on screen during a couple of my screen shares, which was the real killer. Even at higher screen share resolutions the popup was visible. If it was my own money on full sticker out of pocket, I would cancel today. Since it was promo money and I do want to actually have something running during my next round, I'll probably finish out the month and then look around again.
But man, what a bummer.
Curious if anyone else has run amainterview through real interviews and not just the demo. Did you get the same screen share popup or was that just me?
