Project Overview

Problem

Preparing for technical interviews can be overwhelming. While platforms like LeetCode, Grind75, LinkedIn, and others provide helpful resources, they often fall short in delivering:

• Free, accessible, and relevant company-tagged problems.
• Reliable and timely alumni connections for personalized advice and mock interviews.
• Comprehensive company insights specific to the Australian market.

Solution

HireVerse addresses these challenges by offering:

• A personalized LeetCode problem list based on target companies, preparation time, and interview dates.
• An Alumni Connect feature that allows students to connect with UNSW alumni for advice, insights, and mock interviews.
• Detailed company overviews with tech stacks, recruiter contacts, perks, and alumni connections — all for free!

Features

• Dynamic LeetCode Problem List
  Personalized problem sets based on target company and interview date, with problems tagged by UNSW alumni.

• Alumni Connect
  Alumni can voluntarily sign up to provide advice and mock interviews, with options to show/hide Calendly links and email addresses.

• Company Overviews
  In-depth insights on tech stacks, perks, recruiter lists, and alumni connections specific to the Australian market.
