How it works

The interview before the interview.

01

Tell Toby the role

Paste the job description. Toby builds the questions a real panel would ask, from the warm-up to the curveball.

02

Take the call

Practice in a Google Meet, Teams or Zoom-style call, so the real thing feels familiar. Camera on or off, he'll wait while you think.

Google MeetMicrosoft TeamsZoom
03

Get the debrief

Clear notes on every answer: structure, filler words, pacing, and what to say instead next time.

Inside Toby

Built for the interview you've actually got.

Not a generic list of questions. Toby researches the company, maps every round and plays the interviewer, then shows you exactly what to fix.

Prep

Know the company cold.

Tell Toby the role and it builds your brief: what the company does, how it makes money, what's happened lately and how the team works.

  • Stage, size, HQ and business model at a glance
  • Recent news and culture signals, dated
