Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Amazon is a global leader in technology and e-commerce. Amazon was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 as an online bookstore. Over these nearly 30 years of business, Amazon’s business has expanded into online retail, entertainment, cloud services and other industries amassing 1.58 million employees around the world.

To keep up with the continued growth, recruiters at Amazon are constantly on the lookout for new employees. This process includes interviewing many candidates to find the few who demonstrate Amazon’s Leadership Principles. This is often time-consuming for recruiters, and many candidates aren’t well-prepared due to a lack of tailored resources.

Our AI Interview Preparation Platform addresses this challenge by enabling candidates to practice interview questions and gain precise, instantaneous feedback.

Our platform directly saves time for recruiters as they can find qualified candidates who demonstrate Amazon’s Leadership Principles sooner, maintaining Amazon’s high bar for its employees while reducing the number of candidates that must be interviewed.

When using our platform, candidates speak into a microphone to record answers to interview questions and receive feedback. They can choose the number of questions, the target company and role, and whether to focus on known weak spots. Our platform enables users to update their profile with their resume and goals to get targeted questions and more personalized feedback.

Our software also provides the option to run through a mock interview with real interview constraints, such as limited time.

Our system uses Amazon Transcribe to convert speech to text and Strands Agents for evaluation. The front end of the website is built with React, and the back end uses AWS Cloud Development Kit and AWS Lambda.
