Features
Read full description

AssertHired is interview practice built for QA Engineers and SDETs, not general software roles. Run a mock interview and answer by typing or by speaking. Questions adapt to the role you are targeting, from manual QA through automation and SDET. When you finish, you get a scored report that tells you what landed, what did not, and what to say instead. WHAT YOU CAN DO Mock interviews. Behavioural, technical and coding rounds. Answer by voice or by text, whichever suits where you are. Feedback that is specific. Every answer is scored against what an interviewer is actually listening for, with a rewrite you can use. Quick drills. Short practice runs for the days you have five minutes rather than an hour. Skill Labs. Hands-on exercises in Selenium, API testing, SQL and test case design, so you practise the work and not only the talking. Courses. Structured lessons with exams and a certificate at the end. Job tracker. Save a role, paste the job description, and run an interview tailored to that posting. Readiness score. One honest number for how prepared you are, and what to fix first. QA Passport. A shareable profile of what you have proven, with results a recruiter can verify. WHO IT IS FOR Manual testers moving into automation. SDETs preparing for a specific loop. Career changers who need reps before the real thing. Anyone who has been asked to describe a time they found a critical bug and gone blank. PLANS AssertHired is free to start. Contender gives you 50 mock interviews a month, every category, and difficulty up to senior. Elite raises that to 150, adds principal level, and includes all seven guided courses. Both include Verified Assessment. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
