The same screening, every time
Most candidates go through many interview processes, each repeating the same HR questions and overlapping technical fundamentals.
Interview readiness and skill verification
Prove your skills once. Carry it to every interview.
InterviewShiva helps tech professionals check their fit against any job description, practice with an AI interviewer, and earn a verified Talent Passport that companies can trust, so you stop repeating the same screening rounds.

The problem
Job hunting makes you prove the same thing again and again.
A resume can't prove skill
Listing Python could mean beginner or expert. Companies can't tell, so they re-verify everything from scratch.
Strong performance doesn't travel
Do well in one process and get rejected for reasons unrelated to ability, and you start from zero at the next company.
How it works
Prepare, practice, then get verified.
Every step is useful on its own. Together they take you from "am I ready?" to a credential companies accept.
1
Upload your resume
We extract education, experience and skills. You review and correct everything before it counts.
2
Check a job description
Paste any JD and see your match percentage, your gaps and what to improve.
3
Practice with mock interviews
Rehearse in the real format with coaching feedback. Private to you, never scored publicly.
4
Take the AI interviews
Skill-focused rounds built around what companies ask for, with a full assessment after each one.
5
Earn your Talent Passport
A verified score and profile companies can review, so they can go straight to a final interview.

Click through seven steps to see the whole idea in action: from resume to JD match, mock practice, a skill-focused AI interview, the assessment and a verified profile.
This is an illustrative scenario. Amit's profile, scores and assessments are sample values, not a real evaluation.
Step 1 of 7
JD Match
Know how well you fit a role before you apply.
Upload or paste a job description and compare it with your confirmed profile. You get a match percentage you can understand, not a black-box number.
Every skill match is backed by evidence from your own resume.- Must-have gaps are separated from nice-to-have ones, so you know what matters.
- Resume suggestions help you present real experience better. We never suggest claiming skills you don't have.
- Your job descriptions and reports are private. Companies never see them.

Suggestion
Your API project describes the work but not the caching layer you built. Add it if it reflects what you did, then practice a Redis caching mock.Mock interview · Round 2 style
Sample session
AI interviewer: Explain how connection pooling works in a database, and why an API would use it.
You: A pool keeps a set of open connections that requests reuse, so we avoid the cost of opening a new one each time...

Mock interviews
Practice where it's safe. Perform where it counts.
Mock interviews use the same format and rubric as the real rounds, so nothing feels new on the day. They stay private to you and never affect your verified score.
Round 1 styleIntroduction, communication and role fit.
Round 2 styleTechnical questions for your track, with a code editor.
JD-targetedQuestions built from a specific job description.
Gap-focusedShort sessions on the topics you're weakest in.
Pause, retry a question or ask for a hint. Practice questions come from a separate bank, so rehearsing never exposes the real assessment.
Skill-focused interviews
Interviewed on the skills companies actually hire for.
No generic quiz. Your AI interview focuses on the specific skills employers ask for, using questions we have prepared for each one, and you get a clear assessment when it ends.
- Company-driven skills. Interviews are organised around the skills companies actually ask for in their hiring, such as Python and FastAPI, React, SQL or DevOps.
- Curated question sets. Each skill has its own prepared questions, from core concepts to real-world scenarios and live coding.
- A detailed assessment after every interview. See your score for each skill, what you did well, where you lost marks and what to study next.
- Prepare with confidence. Turn any gap into a focused mock interview, then retake the real round when you are ready.

Redis caching and Docker basics. Start a gap-focused mock interview on these two topics.The real interviews
A score companies can trust has to be earned fairly.
Two live AI interviews: a screening round, then a technical round matched to your track. Rigorous enough to replace a company's own first screen, and fair enough that you never feel surveilled.
Verified identity
A one-time ID and live selfie check, then face checks at the start and during each session, so the person tested is the person on the profile.
Proctoring without hostility
Flags are advisory. Looking away to think or a brief connection drop won't cost you your result. Patterns are reviewed by a person.
Adaptive technical depth
Go deeper where you're strong. If you struggle on a topic, the interviewer moves on to another skill so your overall picture stays fair.
Feedback even if you don't pass
You get a detailed, constructive breakdown either way, plus a cooldown before you retake, so you can improve and come back.
Talent Passport
A credential you can be proud to share.
Clear both rounds and you receive a verified profile for your track. It is reusable across companies, so one strong performance can open many doors.
- Composite score with a breakdown for both rounds
- Interview recordings and transcripts companies can review
- A constructive AI summary of your strengths and growth areas
- Verification date and validity window, with reminders to re-verify
- You choose who can discover your profile

FAQ
Questions candidates ask first.
Is InterviewShiva really free for candidates?
The core verification is planned to be free for candidates, at least for your first track, because the platform is only valuable when many candidates take part. Extra tracks and heavy practice use may become optional paid features.
How is the JD match calculated?
We compare the requirements in a job description with your confirmed profile using a documented set of weights, with must-have skills counting more than preferred ones. You see the breakdown and the resume evidence behind each match, so the number is always explainable.
Do mock interviews count toward my verified score?
No. Mock interviews are private practice. They never appear on your Talent Passport and never affect your verified score. They use the same format and rubric, so you know what to expect.
Which skills will the AI interview cover?
The interview is built around specific skills that companies ask for in their hiring, such as a backend stack, a frontend framework, data analysis or DevOps. Each skill has its own set of prepared questions, so you are assessed on what employers actually look for.
What do I see after an AI interview?
A detailed assessment: your score for each skill, what you answered well, where you lost marks, a review of the key questions and suggested topics to prepare next. You can turn any gap into a focused mock interview.
What happens if I fail an interview round?
You still receive a detailed, constructive score report and feedback. There is a cooldown before you can retake the round, and mock interviews are a good way to prepare in the meantime.
How does proctoring work, and will a small slip cost me my result?
Identity is checked at the start of each session and at random points. Most flags are advisory: brief glances away or a short connection drop are normal. Only a clear identity mismatch can hold your score, and that is reviewed by a person rather than failed automatically.
Who can see my profile, resume and job descriptions?
Your job descriptions, match reports and mock interviews are visible only to you. Your Talent Passport is shown to companies only according to your own visibility settings.
