Big Interview

What Big Interview does

Big Interview, operated by Skillful Communications, Inc. and headquartered in New York, is an AI-powered interview training and resume-building platform serving individual job seekers, higher education institutions, government workforce agencies, nonprofits, and employers. Its core product combines 170 expert-led video lessons, an interview simulator covering 1,100+ positions across 100+ industries, an AI video-analysis module (VideoAI) that scores delivery, body language, eye contact, pacing, filler words, and content, and a resume builder (Big Resume / ResumeAI) with AI-generated scoring and suggestions. The platform is delivered via browser (HTML5), native iOS/Android mobile apps, and integrates into institutional stacks through SAML 2.0 / Shibboleth SSO and Canvas LTI 1.x; AI capabilities are multimodal (video, audio, text) and are delivered through third-party AI/LLM providers under contractual restrictions against training on user data.

The company runs a hybrid go-to-market: self-serve consumer subscriptions priced at $39/month (Interview BootCamp), $99 for 3 months (Interview Accelerator), and a $299 one-time lifetime tier (Interview Pro), paired with team plans for nonprofits and small career centers starting at $9.75/user/month (5–50 seats) and annual tiers up to 200 learners ($975–$2,200/yr, SSO included at the top tier). Enterprise sales — discovery calls, demos, custom contracts, and PO acceptance — serve universities, government agencies, and large employers, supported by FERPA, GDPR, CCPA, and an in-progress SOC 2 Type 2 program. The platform claims 2M+ total users, 700+ institutional customers including named universities such as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, NYU, Duke, and Carnegie Mellon, and reports an average 4.5-week time-to-offer among users versus a 22.6-week US national average. Distribution combines content marketing, a free email-gated course, a 22K-subscriber newsletter, YouTube, PR coverage in Forbes, WSJ, CNN, and ABC News, and dedicated landing pages for each institutional segment.
