employers say in their postings how the interview is built
What do employers tell candidates before the interview?
We read the job postings of 304 employers for what they tell a candidate in advance. 117 say how to ask for an adjustment; very few describe the stages, the format or whether the interview is recorded.

roles score above the typical occupation for speaking demand
How much speaking does each job demand?
We compared 70 roles with all 905 occupations in the U.S. government's O*NET database on spoken-communication demand from five measures and grouped them by the kind of speaking: on the phone, in the room, or on stage.

How these studies are made
Public sources only
Job postings that employers publish and a government occupational database. Nothing here comes from private data.
Every claim traces back
Quotes are checked word for word against the stored source text and each role carries the occupation it was matched to.
Limits are on the page
Each study says what it cannot show, who is missing from the sample and where a judgment was made.
The data is open and errors get fixed
Each study has a CSV under a CC BY 4.0 license and a corrections section with dates.
What we do not publish
Recordings, transcripts and feedback from practice sessions on this site are private. None of it appears in these studies. See the privacy policy for how that data is handled.
