The service lets candidates go through simulations that will give employers insights into their readiness and qualifications unique to each job, while they can experience also what a typical day might be like, with the aim of better informing their job search.

All of Interviewed’s staff, including CEO Darren Nix and co-founders Daniel O’Shea and Chris Bakke, become Indeed employees as part of the acquisition.
