Do the work of 10 with a team of 2

This is the most common concern we hear — and the most important one to address first. CyberUp was dealing with exactly this: before Big Interview, roughly 50% of their candidates were completing professional development. After switching, participation climbed to around 90%. The difference is structure. When learners get specific assignments with clear deadlines instead of an open-ended platform to explore on their own, they complete the work. CyberUp also reports that graduates ask to keep their access even after finishing the program.

Professional development resistance is common especially in programs where participants came for a certification or a technical skill, not career coaching. What works is embedding Big Interview assignments directly into the program timeline, not as an optional add-on but as a required component of the second half of training. When it's part of the curriculum, learners treat it like coursework. And once they start receiving AI feedback on things like filler word counts, pacing, and eye contact, most get genuinely invested in improving their scores.

The short answer: none of them were built to run across a cohort.

MLT switched from InterviewStream because it required a human to watch and grade every single interview. Big Interview's AI scores across 16 dimensions and delivers instant feedback, so learners can improve on their own — and coaches spend their time where judgment matters, not on grading.

Sapere Aude Consortium evaluated VMock and found it cost-prohibitive for a nonprofit budget.

CyberUp was writing all their professional development courses from scratch in Moodle — Big Interview replaced that work with 170+ ready-made video lessons, a built-in assignment system, and AI-powered practice that Moodle can't replicate.

Yes. Sapere Aude Consortium builds custom HireVue practice sets with actual interview questions from firms like BlackRock. Ron Brown Scholar Program records custom question sets for Rhodes, Fulbright, and Schwarzman fellowship interviews — finalists answer them in the platform, and recordings go to former fellows for review. You can build practice sets tailored to any employer, role, or interview format your participants will face.

Very little. The curriculum is already built — you are not writing courses. Onboarding focuses on setting up your first round of assignments and learning the admin dashboard. Most partners are up and running within their first cohort cycle. The biggest time savings come from not having to create content from scratch anymore — or chase individual learners for status updates.

‍"Very easy to use, very user-friendly." — Syanne at CyberUp on the admin side of Big Interview

WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliant. Meets DOJ requirements. Mobile-friendly — learners can practice from their phone, which matters for working adults who may not have regular laptop access.

Practice volume, resume completion rates, skill scores, assignment progress, and login activity — all exportable as CSV. The dashboard lets you pull the numbers you need for grant reporting without chasing individual learners for updates. CyberUp uses participation data and before/after engagement stats directly in their grant reports. Data is designed to drop into Bonterra Apricot, CaseWorthy, Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, or whatever system of record you already use.

Big Interview pricing falls under the micro-purchase threshold (under $50K), so no RFP is required for most federal grants. We provide a justification template. For privately funded organizations, it's flat-rate annual pricing that fits operating budgets without a negotiation cycle. Several partners write Big Interview directly into their grant proposals as a workforce development tool line item.

‍"We try to write in the tools we want to give our candidates into the grant, so we have all the best things we can offer them." — CyberUp

Yes. Big Interview supports programs serving transitioning service members (CyberUp works with SkillBridge candidates), stay-at-home parents reentering the workforce, career changers, ESL learners, justice-impacted individuals, neurodiverse learners, first-generation college students targeting investment banking, and scholars competing for nationally competitive fellowships like Rhodes, Fulbright, and Schwarzman. Specialized playbooks, closed captions, Spanish translation, and custom question sets are included.

You decide. AI delivers instant first-round feedback across dimensions that would take hours to assess manually — filler word counts, pacing, eye contact, vocabulary strength. Your coaches step in where human judgment matters. CyberUp intentionally doesn't monitor learner practice videos to keep pressure off — they let the AI handle the feedback loop and focus staff time on learners who need real support. Ron Brown routes recordings to external reviewers — former scholars and mentors — for targeted feedback on specific submissions. The system supports both approaches.

We'll let our partners answer this one.

"Everybody seems to be amazing in helpfulness. You don't want to send in a note and not hear from somebody for a week. When you actually get to talk to people, that makes all the difference." — La Nise Hagan, Talent Operations, OneTen Coalition

"If I need anything and reach out to Jennifer, she'll usually get back to me before I'm even able to respond back to her." — Syanne, CyberUp
