Code compilation/output for 35+ programming languages Curated question bank Audio/video calls Interviewer Notes Editor settings to disable code execution for candidates. Teams Proctored take home assignments

December 17, 2020 Launched proctored take home assignments

After months of hard work, we launched proctored take home assignments.
They will allow you to:

  • Take snapshots of the candidate as he attempts the test
  • Verify email id
  • Capture insights like tab switches and toggle away from the test screen
  • Ask questions from Question bank categorically differentiated by language & concepts
November 18, 2020 Launched MVP

It took 10-12 weeks, but we are finally done building the minimum viable product for Intervue. We, worked mostly nights and weekends, and we coded the whole thing on Javascript since that's what we are most comfortable with. In hindsight, there were a few features we built that probably could've waited until later. But I'm excited to start talking to customers and see what they think about the product so far!

June 4, 2020 3 paid customers with 3 months of runway

We started off with targeted emailing to relevant people. We used to send around 10 emails per day and some sign-ups followed.

Out of those sign-ups few got converted and they started using Intervue month on month which gave us good confidence that this product is bringing in value.

April 20, 2020 1000 interviews taken on intervue.io

We had 1000 interview milestone touched by our users.
During these 1000 interviews, we learnt:

  • Saas or any other product for that matter is a continuous development cycle
  • Product maturity is making anything better, that is your core offering, bringing more value to the customer
  • Once customer lands on your website, it is the product only that can drive the conversion. If conversions are not happening, you need to look back and see what can be improved. Generally it is the product journey
  • Make your product easy to use by promoting its usage in as less steps as possible. This will drive more people to see your core-offering.
  • Working on above two points in a feedback loop can increase conversions and make your Saas profitable
April 10, 2020 100 Signups

We were focusing on product development only and did not do any marketing explicitly. The idea was to mature the product and signups will follow

I did wrote a 3-4 blogs about Intervue and the traffic started flowing organically.

Your product should be useful and people start flowing in automatically if it provides value.

Now I'm just hoping that a lot of them will convert to paying users soon. 馃

March 21, 2020 Got our first paid customer

Today one of our first free trial customers for Intervue converted to paid. I noticed when I got the email from Stripe that said "Payment of $50.00 is successful". It felt amazing! Just 99 more of these and I'll be exactly where I want to be with my business.

June 16, 2019 Came up with the idea

I used to take a lot of interviews on Javascript and Go remotely.
Candidates were given google docs and we used to collaborate over it. Sometimes collabedit would come to help.

There were many problems with the above tools in the interview context and they were not even candidate friendly.

I and my co-founder thought of building our own tool and we ended up building Intervue
