Though Google isn’t advertising new vacancies at Google HQ, it is looking to help out job candidates further maximize their career opportunities via a new machine-learning-powered tool that enables people to undertake mock interview questions, with a view of improving their interview performance for the real-life interviews. Check out this trailer for some extra details.

Google’s Auto-HR 

As outlined in the video, Google’s team has developed a new system that enables users to ‘speak’ to an automated interviewer, then review their answers to try and improve their interview performance.

As Google explains:

“Interviewing in a new field can be hard, especially if you don’t have access to friends, family, or mentors in the field who can help you practice and prepare. That’s why we’ve been collaborating with job seekers to start building a new tool called Interview Warmup that lets you practice answering questions selected by industry experts, and uses machine learning to transcribe your answers and help you discover ways to improve.”

The process, which you can test run here, includes a range of questions that are related to roles stemming from the Google Career Certificates program. Google states that anyone can go through the exercise, throwing a lot of general interview questions into the mix. As you make your way through the questions, your answers are transcribed in real-time, allowing you to backtrack and review certain areas that you feel you need to improve on.

“You’ll also see insights: patterns detected by machine learning that can help you discover things about your answers, like the job-related terms you use and the words you say most often. It can even highlight the different talking points you cover in each answer, so you can see how much time you spend talking about areas like your experience, skills, and goals.”

It certainly looks to be a handy tool. With 1.5 million open roles in the US and one in four people considering new career opportunities, there’s a wide pool of potential users for the app. LinkedIn launched a similar tool back in 2020, with its automated interview feedback tool allowing users to record themselves answering common interview questions. The tool then gives AI-generated feedback upon delivering answers, along with some notes on pacing and the use of ‘filler’ words.

The Wrap

Google’s system functions in largely the same way. In combination, these two free tools offer you various options to touch up and polish your interview skills, preparing you for presenting and even public speaking, given the right motivations, of course. It’s well worth a look at least.
