Summary

Aline Lerner, founder and CEO of Interviewing.io, is changing the landscape of tech hiring with her bias-free platform that focuses on technical ability over extraneous details like education or previous employer. She built this platform after realizing that resumes were not a reliable way to gauge technical skill and that phone screens often involved small talk and uninformative questions. The platform uses Twilio's Voice API and a voice modulator to provide a bias-free environment for interviews, where candidates solve coding problems in real-time while interviewers provide feedback. Historically, over half of Interviewing.io's candidates have made it to company on-sites, and the platform has made hires for several well-known companies, including Yelp and Twitch. Aline believes that her vision of a hiring meritocracy is working, but acknowledges that she needs open-mindedness from clients, flexibility from users, and trust between interviewers and candidates to achieve this goal.
