Try Verity Builds AI Interview Practice Around the Candidate's Own CV and Target Role

Built by Christian Camilo Rodriguez Ortiz after watching candidates fail interviews not from lack of skill but from lack of realistic preparation, Try Verity is an AI interview simulator that generates questions from the candidate's actual CV and job description - with voice or written mode, contextual feedback, and bilingual support in English and Spanish.

Most interview prep tools generate generic questions and generic feedback. Christian Rodriguez kept seeing candidates who knew their craft fail interviews because the practice had nothing to do with their actual experience or the role they wanted.

The gap Christian identified was not about knowledge. It was about the disconnect between how people prepare and how real interviews actually work. In a real interview, the questions come from the candidate's background. The follow-ups probe specific decisions they made, projects they led, and how they communicate under pressure. Generic AI chat tools and question banks skip all of that. The result is preparation that feels productive but does not transfer.

Try Verity is built around a different premise. Instead of a static question bank, the system generates interview questions from two inputs: the candidate's actual CV or profile summary, and the job description for the role they are targeting. The questions are specific to what the candidate has done and what the employer is looking for. Nothing is generic.

Simulation, Feedback, and Two Languages

The experience for a first-time user follows a straightforward flow. Upload a CV or paste a profile summary. Paste the job description. Start a realistic interview simulation in written or voice mode. The system then delivers contextual feedback, scores responses, suggests stronger answers, and provides insights on how well the candidate's experience aligns with the role.

The feedback is designed to reflect the mechanics of real interviews - the kind of follow-up questions, pressure, and evaluation that happens across a table, not in a chatbot window.

One aspect Christian built in deliberately is bilingual support. Try Verity works in both English and Spanish. The reasoning is practical: many candidates with strong technical skills struggle in interviews not because they lack ability, but because they have difficulty communicating confidently in English or adapting their experience to a role described in a second language. The bilingual mode addresses that directly.

The goal, as Christian describes it, is to help candidates move past memorised answers and practice communicating their real experience in a realistic environment before the actual interview.
