# Huru

> Huru is a free AI mock interview platform. Candidates answer real interview questions out loud, for any of 242+ career roles or for a specific job post, and every answer is scored out of 100 on relevance, structure, specificity, impact and articulation, with what worked, what to fix and a stronger version. Candidates can also talk with a live AI interviewer that asks follow-up questions, on video or audio only; the debrief afterwards gives an overall score and verdict, feedback on their voice and delivery (pace, thinking time, pauses, filler words, hedging) and, on video, on eye contact, posture, expressions, energy and gestures. Huru is free for everyone, with every feature: no trial, no paywall and no subscription for job seekers. It works on the web, on iOS and as a Chrome extension, in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German and French. Huru for Organizations gives universities, bootcamps and workforce programs cohort analytics. Huru has been helping job seekers since 2021 and is a trademark of Beatview, Inc. (co-founders Amine Boukioud and Mustapha Boukioud), which also makes Beatview, an AI recruiting agent for recruitment agencies.
