How interviews work

A short conversation, grounded in context.

The agent does the research first. It comes to you for the part that requires lived judgment, then carries that judgment back to the company.

01

Detect a decision gap

02

Bring company context

03

Interview you by voice

04

Return judgment to the company

Example voice interviews

The agent has the facts. It calls you for the judgment.

These are representative situations. The relevant company context, expected time, and compensation are shared before you accept.

Product · Customer commitment01

A $450k customer says renewal depends on a custom audit-log export. Three smaller customers asked for different versions, and engineering estimates six weeks. What would you need to know before making a commitment, and what would you promise?

12–18 min voice interviewUp to $60
Engineering · Production risk02

Your primary database has caused three latency incidents and is nearing capacity. A migration would delay an enterprise launch by four weeks. Which technical and commercial signals decide whether you patch, migrate, or accept the risk?

15–25 min voice interviewUp to $85
Sales · Deal judgment03

Your strongest enterprise prospect wants a two-year usage cap, an $80k price ceiling, and a roadmap commitment. The logo would materially change the quarter, but gross margin is still uncertain. What do you concede, and what do you protect?

12–18 min voice interviewUp to $60
Customer Success · Renewal risk04

A $300k customer's usage fell 40% after its champion left. The new VP used a competing product, support health looks normal, and renewal is six weeks away. Who do you involve, what do you ask, and when do you escalate?

12–18 min voice interviewUp to $60
Finance · Hiring trigger05

The company has 18 months of runway. Pipeline has doubled, but conversion is not proven. The CTO wants three hires now; the board wants six more months of runway. Which leading indicators would cause you to approve the hires?

15–25 min voice interviewUp to $85
People · Leadership call06

A VP Sales is at 90% of target after two misses, while rep attrition has reached 35%. The CEO values the VP's urgency, but the team reports unpredictable priorities. Do you coach, narrow the role, or replace them?

15–25 min voice interviewUp to $85

You have made decisions like these before.

Put that experience to work in short, paid conversations.

Compensation

Expertise is not one-size-fits-all.

Interviews can pay up to $200/hour depending on the depth, specialization, and context required. You see the expected time and compensation before you accept.
