Role play

A live selling conversation under pressure

Try it yourself

Adaptive questioning, real pressure

The AI interviewer listens, reacts, and follows up. Saying “something” isn’t enough. The candidate has to prove they know what they’re doing.

Challenges weak or generic answers

Pushes for specifics and examples

Spots unrealistic or exaggerated claims

Digs deeper until the signal is clear

Role play that actually feels real

During the interview, the AI switches into the role of a busy, skeptical buyer. It raises objections, withholds information, and changes behavior based on how the candidate sells.

Strong sellers adapt. Weak ones break.

Cold call

Test how candidates open the conversation, create interest, and handle early objections.

Discovery call

Evaluate how candidates ask questions, uncover pain, and qualify real buyer needs.
