In a world where AI is automating more tasks, the founders of InterviewsUp believe that soft skills make the difference. While organizations invest significant resources in recruitment, many interviews remain unstructured or focus almost entirely on technical competencies, overlooking essential abilities such as critical thinking, adaptability, agility, and continuous learning. Proper evaluation of soft skills ensures better hires and the right people for the job.
“We created InterviewsUp to support HR professionals and hiring managers in collaborating more effectively and evaluating candidates objectively, ensuring alignment with the role and company culture. Well-structured interviews enhance employer branding and candidate experience. We are confident in our platform’s potential and believe it will become an essential partner in companies’ interview processes,” said Beatrice Galațanu, Co-founder & CEO, InterviewsUp.
With an extensive soft skills library, detailed definitions, evaluation criteria, thousands of expert-validated interview questions customized for different seniority levels and roles, plus an integrated AI tool, the InterviewsUp platform helps employers accurately assess candidates’ compatibility and make more informed hiring decisions.
“As a hiring manager, your priority is often to identify candidates with the necessary technical skills. However, soft skills—crucial for team integration and alignment with company values—are often under-evaluated. InterviewsUp is the digital solution that helps hiring managers gain a complete perspective on candidates through a structured, efficient, and relevant interview process,” stated Elvis Apostol, Co-founder & CTO, InterviewsUp.
As the recruitment industry rapidly evolves, companies adopting intelligent digital solutions will gain a major competitive advantage. InterviewsUp not only streamlines the interview process but also helps reduce hiring mistakes, which, according to Harvard Business Review, can cost companies up to 30% of an employee’s annual salary.
“Studies show that job interviews, especially those with potential managers, have the most significant impact on candidate experience. The recruitment market is undergoing deep transformation, and soft skills are as important as technical skills. However, according to LinkedIn, only 41% of companies worldwide have a structured process for soft skills assessment. InterviewsUp addresses this gap by providing an intuitive digital platform built on the expertise of HR professionals and entrepreneurs,” said Mihaela Rosu, Co-founder & CMO, InterviewsUp.
