Hiring-side perspectiveMeet the expert behind the guidance
My name is Jacob Gates. I worked as a corporate interviewer and recruitment consultant for 10 years, helping Fortune 500 companies hire and improve their recruitment processes.
I saw that plenty of people helped companies hire, while far fewer helped candidates understand what was happening on the other side of the table. JobInterviewAt exists to close that gap—with practical guides built around the questions employers use and the signals interviewers are actually scoring.
As the site expands into salary, career change, resumes, workplace advice, and hiring, that same candidate-first standard remains at the center of every article.
