Interviewstreet: A brief

An Indian IT start-up company cofounded by two alumini of NIT Trichy- Vivek Ravisankar & Harishankaran K
The startup helps companies to sift out best programming talent from the larger pool with the help of their web based tools
It assists companies to create customized programming tests (in any language) and evaluate candidates based on their programming skills before proceeding for an interview. It saves the precious time of companies as only individuals with optimum skiil set will be interacted with.
The idea of this startup originated when two engineers rolled out a platform for mock interviews with college students during placement season to churn out best programming talents. Both of them were hired by Amazon and IBM but they quit their job in order to expand their startup.
Currently Interviewstreet’s customers include US space agency Nasa, game developer Zynga, Facebook and Amazon
