Three steps from Interviewing.io to AssertHired.
Step 1: Keep your Interviewing.io account while you evaluate
Nothing to export and nothing to cancel up front. AssertHired runs alongside whatever you already use, so you can compare the two on the same week of prep and only drop one once you are sure.
Step 2: Create a free AssertHired account
Sign up with email or Google in under a minute. Your first QA mock interview runs on the free tier, no card required.
Step 3: Start with the category that matches your next interview
Pick from QA Automation, API Testing, CI/CD, Performance, or QA Behavioral. The AI calibrates to your level and scores you on dimensions QA hiring managers actually evaluate.
Making the switch.
The biggest gap with Interviewing.io for QA engineers is topic coverage. Their interviewers are strong on algorithms and system design, but they won't drill you on Playwright test architecture, API contract testing, or CI/CD pipeline optimization, the topics that actually come up in QA interviews.
