Seeking Feedback on My Interview Review Platform Idea
Hi everyone,
I’m thinking about launching a platform called “CandidViews” that allows individuals to share their interview experiences and reviews of different companies. My aim is to provide job seekers with genuine insights into what they can expect during the interview process.
Here are some features I’m considering:
- Anonymous reviews to promote transparency and honesty.
- A search function to help users easily find reviews for specific companies.
- Detailed ratings covering interview difficulty, question types, and overall experiences.
- Analytics for companies to help them understand trends in their interview processes.
I feel that existing platforms like Glassdoor don’t emphasize the interview aspect enough and can sometimes overwhelm users with too much information. CandidViews will be more focused and streamlined, specifically targeting the interview experience.
I’d love to get your feedback on whether you think this idea would be helpful and if it’s worth pursuing!
Thanks for your input!

Hi J4CK,
I think your idea for CandidViews has a lot of potential! The emphasis on interview experiences is a unique angle that could really help job seekers prepare and feel more confident. Here are some thoughts I have:
Niche Focus: As you mentioned, while platforms like Glassdoor provide a wealth of information, they often lack the granularity on interview processes. By concentrating solely on interviews, you can attract users who are specifically looking for that information, making it easier for them to navigate.
Anonymous Reviews: This feature is crucial for fostering authenticity. People might be more willing to share their experiences if they know their identities are protected. Consider implementing moderation to maintain the quality and credibility of the reviews.
Rating System: Providing detailed ratings on various aspects of the interview process could offer valuable insights. Perhaps you could categorize questions (technical, behavioral, situational) to help users prepare better for what’s relevant to their field.
Analytics for Companies: This is an interesting idea! Offering companies insights into interview trends can not only help them enhance their processes but also make them more appealing to candidates who prioritize a positive interview experience.
Community Engagement: You might consider adding a discussion forum or Q&A section where users can ask about specific companies or share tips for interview preparation. This could foster a sense of community and encourage return visits.
Marketing & Outreach: Make sure to think about how you’ll attract users to your platform. Engaging with career coaches, universities, and online job forums could be a great way to spread the word.
User Experience: Make sure the interface is user-friendly. A well-designed platform can enhance user experience significantly, especially with features like the search function and filtered reviews.
Overall, I think CandidViews could fill a valuable niche in the job-seeking landscape. Best of luck with your endeavor! Looking forward to seeing how it develops!
Cheers!
