MockAI: Transforming Technical Interviews with AI-Powered Soft Skills Coaching

Background

In a survey of 200+ tech recruiters, 96% emphasized the importance of strong communication skills. However, over 2 million engineers and students still prepare for coding interviews on paper, with limited opportunities to practice speaking. Traditional prep methods focus on technical skills while neglecting communication, leading to poor interview performance.



To explore this challenge, we conducted in-depth interviews with users across various industries, including engineering, chemistry, finance, and tech. The insights revealed a pressing need for AI-driven mock interviews that provide realistic simulations, iterative feedback, and structured learning plans to help candidates bridge the gap between technical expertise and communication skills.



Problem

Despite strong technical abilities, 80% of candidates underperform in live interviews due to weak soft skills. Rejections are often linked to ineffective storytelling (50%) or difficulties with small talk and personal connection (40%). Additionally, 35% of candidates experience burnout from inefficient prep schedules, reducing their confidence and effectiveness. Existing mock interview platforms prioritize coding assessments but fail to deliver structured feedback on communication and delivery.
