What is HotSeat?
HotSeat is an AI mock interview platform that pressure-tests your interview skills with three distinct AI interviewers in one shared conversation. It adapts to your resume and profile, then delivers evidence-backed feedback on where you are strong and where you need work.
How do the three AI interviewers work?
The Grinder probes technical depth, the Stress-Tester challenges claims and watches how you recover under pressure, and the Culture-Fit interviewer explores judgment and behavioral stories. They share context across the session so follow-up questions build on what you actually said, not a script.
What is included when I sign up?
Your account includes a reusable Career Profile and your first successful onboarding resume extraction. Practice is available through a monthly plan or non-expiring credit top-ups.
How does pricing work?
Monthly plans include live-interview minutes and separate allowances for text-based interviews, knowledge tests, and resume extractions. If an allowance runs out, you can continue with purchased credits. Credits cost ₹1 each before 18% GST in India or $0.02 each before applicable international tax.
Do credits expire?
Purchased credits do not expire. Monthly plan allowances reset on each renewal date and do not roll over.
What interview modes are available?
HotSeat offers live voice interviews (record-and-transcribe or realtime voice), text-based interviews, and adaptive knowledge tests (MCQ). Each mode uses your profile to personalize questions and produces scored feedback.
Is my resume and interview data private?
Yes. Your resume, transcripts, and reports are private to your account. HotSeat does not sell your personal information. See our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling and service providers.
How is my interview scored?
After your session, a judge evaluates only evidence present in your responses: technical knowledge, depth, problem-solving, communication, and composure. Every score links back to verbatim transcript excerpts in your report, so feedback is explainable and actionable rather than generic.
