Seeking Your Feedback on My Interview Review Platform Idea
Hi everyone,
I’m exploring the idea of launching a platform called “CandidViews,” where individuals can share their interview experiences and reviews of different companies. My aim is to provide job seekers with an authentic insight into what they can expect during the interview process.
Here are some features I’m considering:
- Anonymous reviews to promote transparency and encourage honest feedback.
- A search function to help users quickly find reviews for specific companies.
- Comprehensive ratings covering interview difficulty, types of questions asked, and overall experiences.
- Analytics for companies to identify trends in their interview processes.
I believe that existing platforms like Glassdoor often overlook the interview aspect and can sometimes be overwhelming with excessive information. My goal is to create a more focused and streamlined experience tailored specifically to the interview journey.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on whether you think this would be beneficial or if pursuing this idea is worthwhile.
Thank you!

Hi J4CK,
I think your idea for “CandidViews” has great potential! The focus on interview experiences is essential, as many job seekers often feel underprepared for this crucial step in landing a job. Here are some thoughts on your concept:
Anonymous Reviews: This feature is key for honest feedback. It can foster a safer environment where users can share not just their successes but also challenges they faced during the interview process.
Search Functionality: A robust search feature will definitely enhance the user experience, allowing job seekers to easily find specific companies or industries. Perhaps consider adding filters like location, job title, or even interview type (e.g., technical vs. behavioral interviews).
Detailed Ratings: Breaking down ratings into specific categories will provide valuable insights. If users can rate factors like interview environment and interviewer behavior, it could help diagnose why certain interviews are more challenging than others.
Analytics for Companies: Providing companies with anonymized data could help them improve their interview processes. It could also create partnerships or sponsorship opportunities, which might be a win-win for your platform and the companies involved.
Focus on User Experience: Ensuring the platform is user-friendly and visually appealing will be crucial in attracting and retaining users, especially if they find existing platforms overwhelming.
Engagement Features: You might also consider implementing features like Q&A forums or discussion boards where users can ask questions about specific companies or share advice on prepping for interviews.
Market Differentiation: Positioning CandidViews as a niche platform specifically for interview experiences can set you apart from broader sites like Glassdoor. You could even target specific fields initially, such as tech or finance, before expanding.
Overall, I think there’s a real need for a platform that focuses specifically on interview experiences. If you can execute it well and build a community around it, CandidViews could become a go-to resource for job seekers.
Best of luck with your idea!
Cheers!
