Two Easy Setups
Phone interviews are the easiest interview type to ace with AI — there's no camera, no screen share, and no proctoring. Pick whichever setup fits your call.
Phone + Laptop
Take the call on your phone. Keep your laptop open in front of you with Interview Sidekick running. The laptop's mic picks up both sides of the conversation.
- Best for traditional recruiter phone screens
- No software changes needed
- Works even if your phone has no internet
- Pop your phone on speaker or use earbuds
Laptop-Only (Dialer Apps)
If the call comes in through Zoom Phone, Google Voice, Skype, RingCentral, or any other browser/desktop dialer, Interview Sidekick captures audio directly — no second device needed.
- Works with Zoom Phone, Google Voice, Skype, RingCentral
- Captures both sides directly from system audio
- Headphones recommended for clean capture
- Same workflow as Zoom/Teams interviews

David
Software Engineer
Hired at Amazon
The real-time assistant was a game-changer during my technical interview. When I got stuck on a dynamic programming problem, it quietly suggested the right approach. I stayed calm, worked through it, and got the offer.
Sarah
Product Manager
Hired at Google
The real-time feedback pointed out that my answers lacked metrics. Once I started adding specific numbers and outcomes, my practice scores jumped and so did my confidence.
Emily
Data Analyst
Hired at Meta
SQL and case study prep were my weak spots. After a week of daily practice sessions, I walked into my Meta interview feeling like I'd already done it before. Got the offer two days later!

Frequently Asked Questions
Two easy setups. (1) Phone + Laptop: take the call on your phone, open Interview Sidekick on your laptop, and the laptop's mic picks up both sides of the call through the room. (2) Laptop-only: if you're using Zoom Phone, Google Voice, Skype, RingCentral, or similar dialer apps, Interview Sidekick captures the audio directly. Either way, you get a live transcript and AI suggestions on your screen in under 2 seconds.
No — and phone interviews are actually the safest interview type for AI assistance. There's no camera, no screen share, and no proctoring software. Everything happens silently on your laptop while you speak naturally. The interviewer hears your voice, nothing else.
Every kind. Recruiter screens, HR phone screens, hiring manager intro calls, technical phone screens, SDR/BDR sales screens, healthcare and clinical phone interviews, panel calls — anything voice-only. Just upload your resume and the job description, and the AI tailors suggestions to that specific role.
Suggestions appear in under 2 seconds — usually within 1. You read the bullet points off your screen and speak them in your own voice. Most users say it feels less like reading a script and more like having a friend whispering smart points in your ear.
No — phone interviews work great in the web version since there's no proctoring software to hide from. The desktop app adds a couple of nice-to-haves (always-on-top window, compact view, native shortcuts), but it's not required.
Yes — that's where it shines. Upload your resume and the AI pulls real stories from your actual experience, then structures them in STAR format on the fly. No more fumbling for the right project to mention.
Upload the job description and Interview Sidekick remembers the role's responsibilities, tech stack, and any notes you've added. When a question touches the JD, you get a tailored answer that maps your background to what they care about.
Yes — you can start using it on your next phone screen with no credit card required. Free practice questions are unlimited; paid plans unlock unlimited live interview sessions.
