Before Round - Practice the interview before the interview

by•
BeforeRound lets you practice a real job interview out loud before the real one. Paste any job link and Ava, our voice AI interviewer, plays the hiring manager for that exact role. She listens to what you actually say and asks the follow-ups you were hoping to dodge, just like a real interviewer. When you finish you get a score, what worked, and your top 3 fixes. Unlike question banks or text chatbots, it feels like the real conversation. Your first 5 minutes are free, no card needed.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Mohsin, the maker of BeforeRound. Why I built it: most of us prepare for interviews by reading lists of questions and rehearsing answers in our heads. Then the real thing starts, the interviewer asks one follow-up, and the polished answer falls apart. Answers that sound great in your head rarely survive being said out loud for the first time. I wanted somewhere to have that first, slightly awkward conversation before it counts. So I built Ava, an AI interviewer you actually talk to. How it works: 1. Paste a link to the job you're applying for 2. Ava plays the hiring manager for that role and interviews you by voice 3. She reacts to what you say and asks real follow-ups, not a fixed script 4. You get a debrief with a score, what landed, and your top 3 fixes How it evolved: the first version asked generic questions and gave generic feedback. The big change came when Ava started reading the actual job post and following up on your specific answers. That's when practice sessions started to feel like the real thing. Try it: your first 5 minutes are free, no card needed. I'd love your honest feedback. What role would you practice for first, and what would make Ava a tougher (or fairer) interviewer?
