DOIs:10.2015/IJIRMF/202604026     |     Paper ID: IJIRMF202604026Job seeking in a restructured competitive employment field is very much dependent upon how well prepared the individuals are for interviews. Conventional interview methods may not be personalized, doesnot provide instantaneous feedback or be readily available. To solve such problems, this paper introduces CareerMate AI a multimodal AI-based interview preparation system that evaluates candidates using NLP, computer vision, and speech analysis. It provides real-time feedback based on responses, behavior, and communication skills that help users improve interview performance effectively.
The system developed uses techniques based on NLP, facial expression recognition and speech processing. It provides real-time feedback, AI-generated questions (both HR as well as technical) based on resume or job description and grades answers based on relevance, grammar and semantic accuracy. The system recognizes behavioral signals such as eye contact and body language, in addition to vocal characteristics including tone fluctuations, fluency and confidence. The automated scoring system offers organized and impartial assessments, while dedicated feedback reports assist users in recognizing their strengths and weaknesses. The platform is user-friendly and provides scalability for real-world interview preparation scenarios. CareerMate AI improves users’ confidence, fluency, and response relevance before they enter real interview
