The company that decided the job interview was too important to leave to chance - and built an on-demand network of 8,000 experts, plus an AI named NIVO, to run it.
Every hiring team knows the same quiet failure. A candidate is sourced, screened and scheduled - and then the interview itself, the moment everything hinges on, is handed to an engineer pulled off a deadline who improvises questions and scores on instinct. FloCareer's founders looked at that gap and concluded the problem was structural, not personal. The interview was the last step in hiring nobody had bothered to standardize.
Founded in 2018 by Mehul Bhatt and Mohit Jain, FloCareer sells what it calls Interview-as-a-Service. In plain terms: companies outsource their first- and second-round interviews to FloCareer, which conducts them through a network of more than 8,000 vetted domain experts - the FloExperts - or, increasingly, through an AI interviewer named NIVO. The sessions are structured, proctored, recorded and scored against a rubric, so the output is not a gut feeling but comparable data.
The model rests on a small, sharp insight: interviewing is a skill, and most companies ask people who are good at other things to do it badly. By pooling specialists who interview all day, FloCareer offers consistency that an internal panel of moonlighting engineers structurally cannot. Clients keep the decisions; they just stop spending their best people's calendars on candidates who will not make the cut.
FloCareer's customers cluster where hiring volume is highest and interviewer time is scarcest: enterprise technology and financial services. Named clients span Deutsche Bank, Cigna, S&P Global, Airbus, Wipro, HDFC Bank, Siemens, Turing, Nike, WebMD, Yamaha and BigBasket. On G2, roughly three-quarters of reviewers are enterprise-scale, most of them in IT and services.
The problem it solves is concrete. A fast-growing team cannot conduct hundreds of technical interviews a month without burning out its engineers or letting quality drift. Turnaround slows, candidates ghost, and scoring becomes a lottery. FloCareer absorbs that first wave of interviews, returns structured feedback within a day, and lets internal teams reserve their energy for culture fit and final calls.
It shows up most clearly in high-volume moments - campus recruiting seasons, new capability centres, sudden expansion. When a Global Capability Centre in India needs to add thousands of engineers on a deadline, a network that can supply hundreds of qualified interviewers on demand stops being a convenience and becomes the only way the math works.
Deutsche Bank's technology centre in India set out to add 2,500+ people in six months - which meant 300+ extra interviews a month, sub-24-hour turnaround, and a next-round conversion above 50%. FloCareer sourced 176 specialist interviewers and automated the scheduling, follow-ups and feedback. The published results:
Live 1:1 sessions with 8,000+ vetted FloExperts across technical and non-technical roles - structured questions, proctoring, and standardized written feedback returned fast.
An AI that autonomously runs screening and coding interviews 24/7 with dynamic, role-aware questions and rubric-based scoring - the tireless first round.
Automated first-pass screening to filter high-volume applicant pools before a human ever spends a minute on a call.
Purpose-built flows for fresher/graduate recruitment and for engineering roles - coding, system design and functional evaluations at scale.
FloCareer's model is part SaaS, part marketplace. Instead of a fixed annual license, it charges companies on a pay-as-you-use basis - reported pricing starts around $17 per interview - so hiring cost becomes a dial you turn with demand rather than a sunk contract. The freelance FloExpert network is paid per interview conducted, aligning supply with volume.
That pricing is also its edge. Competitors in the interview-outsourcing and interview-intelligence space - Karat, InterviewVector, Interviewer.AI, Intervue, Monjin, BarRaiser - attack the same pain, but FloCareer leans on affordability, the sheer scale of its expert pool, and the option to blend AI and human in one workflow.
The quieter moat is data. A million interviews across hundreds of companies and thousands of roles is an unusual vantage point on what a good interview actually looks like - the kind of accumulated understanding a new entrant cannot simply buy.
It is a bet that interviewing will follow payroll, support and infrastructure into the on-demand economy: a specialized function that most companies eventually decide they should not run alone.
CEO Mehul Bhatt spent roughly fifteen years in technology, including a stint as a Solutions Architect at Cisco, before co-founding FloCareer with Mohit Jain, who serves as COO. The origin story is unglamorous by design: two operators who had watched good hires slip away because of bad interviews, and decided the fix was a company, not a complaint.
Bhatt and Jain launch the company to outsource and standardize hiring interviews.
The expert interviewer network and technical interview offerings are built out.
Led by Data Point Capital and Uncorrelated Ventures.
High-volume fresher recruitment solutions launch for enterprise clients.
Automated 24/7 screening and coding interviews arrive.
The platform crosses 1M interviews and publishes major enterprise case studies.
The recruiting stack has an applicant tracking system to move candidates, assessment tools to test them, and video tools to talk to them. FloCareer occupies the seam in between - the interview itself - and integrates with ATS and HRMS platforms so scheduling and feedback flow into the systems teams already use. It does not replace the recruiter; it removes the recruiter from the part of the job that scales worst.
As AI reshapes hiring, that positioning matters. Screening automates cleanly; judgment does not. By offering NIVO for the top of the funnel and human experts for everything that requires nuance, FloCareer avoids the trap of promising an algorithm can do the whole job - and instead sells the boundary between the two.
8,000+ interviewers means hundreds available for a single surge - the reason GCC and campus hiring works.
Structured, rubric-scored, proctored sessions turn interviews into comparable data instead of anecdotes.
Pay-per-interview economics make outsourcing a round cheaper than the internal time it replaces.
It provides Interview-as-a-Service - companies outsource hiring interviews to FloCareer's network of 8,000+ vetted expert interviewers, or use its AI interviewer NIVO for automated screening and coding interviews.
It was founded in 2018 by Mehul Bhatt (CEO) and Mohit Jain (COO). Bhatt previously worked as a Solutions Architect at Cisco.
FloCareer raised a $5.7M Series A in October 2021, led by Data Point Capital and Uncorrelated Ventures, for roughly $6M total.
700+ companies worldwide, including Deutsche Bank, Cigna, S&P Global, Airbus, Wipro, HDFC Bank, Siemens, Nike and Turing - largely enterprise IT and financial-services firms.
NIVO is FloCareer's AI interviewer that autonomously conducts screening and coding interviews 24/7 using dynamic, role-aware questions and rubric-based scoring, complementing its human expert interviews.
