Prepfully is the go-to place for end-to-end interview preparation. Experts like you help candidates to hone their interview skills
If you’d like to become an expert - reach out to us at support@prepfully.com

We take your privacy *extremely* seriously.

We don't share your name or email with anyone; don't anticipate needing to share it with anyone, and don't intend to ever do so without your explicit permission.


We do share what we call an "anonymized profile" with candidates. This consists of your years of experience, and role/title at companies relevant for the mock interview you are providing. This reassures candidates that they are being coached by someone well qualified at helping them out :)

In addition, for sessions organized on Google Meet, your "Google account name" shows up when you join a session. If you'd like, we can add a "dummy email" which doesn't have your name associated it, to mask even this. We can also set this up for you and share login details (we'll transfer ownership to you after setting this up, basically).

Absolutely - we take privacy very seriously. Your personal details are completely secure with us and will never be shared with anyone without your consent.


Your remuneration per session varies based on the company and role for which you’re registered to help candidates. For details on what you can expect, please reach out to us at support@prepfully.com

Your remuneration per session varies based on the company and role for which you’re registered to help candidates. 

Sessions are generally 1-hour long. The content could be a Mock Interview or an Expert Advice Session based on the candidate’s requirement. 

If a candidate has provided a special request or a preferred session type, this will be included in the request link where you can accept a session. If there are any changes in requirements, we'll likewise notify you the moment we receive them from candidates too. 

Sessions are generally 1-hour long. The content could be a Practice Interview or an Expert Advice Session based on the candidate’s requirement. 

We cannot commit to a specific number of sessions. 

This is because our request volumes vary widely depending on which companies are hiring - and this pattern changes over time.

We expect to reach out between 1 and 5 times per month, for most roles. We’ve seen up to 30 requests within a single week for specific roles though. And this is why we will always check with you to ensure you are available, before locking in a session; you always have the option to decline a session, and there is no consequence to declining (if you decline more than 6 sessions in a row, we might check-in to ask if you'd like us to keep reaching out; the last thing we want to do is spam you!)

PS - If you aren't available for a session, but are available at an alternative time instead - just let us know what works and we'll see if we can schedule something within that :)

We cannot commit to a specific number of sessions because requests vary widely depending on which companies are hiring for different roles at different points in time.

How many sessions can I expect per month?

Please reach out to us at support@prepfully.com and we will de-register you immediately.

We'd really appreciate if you told us why though. If there's any way at all we can change your mind - do let us know! 

At the end of the day, we're a startup and it's only based on your feedback that we can become better.

Please reach out to us atsupport@prepfully.comand de-register you immediately.

How do I unregister myself as an expert on the platform?

We ONLY schedule a session after first checking with you explicitly, if you are available for it. So yes, it is super flexible.

There are no fixed hours of commitment required or expected. Prepfully is designed as a side gig, so you're always free to decline a session when you aren't available.

We do ask you (as well as the candidate!) to be punctual, so that precious time is not wasted on either side. 

If you are getting late - please let us know in advance so we can manage expectations accordingly with the candidate. 

And please do ensure a full 60-minute session since this is what we promise candidates :)

The matching is done by Prepfully to ensure everyone’s privacy is protected. We'll make sure you're a good fit!

The matching is done by Prepfully to ensure everyone’s privacy is protected. 

This is because we balance the amount candidates are willing to pay for practice/advice for different roles and companies with what a fair expectation from experts would be.

If you feel that your experience justifies a higher remuneration, please let us know. This helps us understand where we are possibly mis-pricing a session for a candidate, and will run a test to see if candidates can afford your price point. 

We have tried this 15-20 times in the past, and (largely since we are still new and unknown), charging higher prices means our conversion drops to zero.

Please also note, if you operate on a different price point than our recommended pricing, then we will transfer the risk of refund requests to you. Our default prices are  calibrated to ensure that if refund requests ever do occur, we at Prepfully are able to bear the load but still compensate experts for the time and effort they have invested. If you operate outside the calibrated price range, we will have to transfer refund requests to experts i.e. if a candidate requests a refund, we will have to issue it and will be unable to transfer payment for a session.

In all honesty - we are not trying to compete with your hourly salary (and don't think we will ever manage to). We hope that Prepfully can be a weekend project for our experts much like it is a weekend project for all of us building it; a chance to add value, mentor serious candidates - and turn your knowledge and experience into a side-gig :)

How do I get a higher remuneration than suggested by Prepfully?

Yes, for some countries. Please drop us a note to check.

For experts in the US; we only support USD.

For experts in India - we support transfers in INR directly to your bank account.

We support transfers to UK bank accounts in GBP, and to specific European bank accounts in EUR.

We support transfers to Singaporean bank accounts in SGD.

All other countries will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please do note; since payment is collected in USD, conversion charges will have to be borne by you. However, we use TransferWise, so these are usually pretty trivial.

Can I get my remuneration in a currency other than USD?

We currently use Google Meet for all sessions, although we are planning a migration to Zoom very shortly.

Once the session is scheduled and confirmed, we send out a calendar invite with a conference link to the candidate as well as the expert. 

We recommend audio calling to protect the privacy of the candidate as well as the expert, and use of video only if absolutely necessary and mutually agreed.

PS - we're constantly trying new tools which help improve the experience and protect all participants' privacy, so you might sometimes get an invitation to use something completely different too

We currently use Google Meet for all sessions. 

At the moment, to protect the privacy of all individuals, we don’t support interactions between experts on candidates. If you support an interview package, we will set up a Slack channel to facilitate direct interaction. We eventually plan to roll out anonymized chat though - so stay tuned!

Can I connect with other fellow users on the platform?

There are different rules for different circumstances. We’ve currently got experts across the world and across 1000+ companies, including all the top ones, and we’ve never heard of anyone facing issues on this front.

However, if you are nervous about this, we encourage you to check the regulations around tax and side-incomes in your jurisdictions, or with your companies if it would help you feel more confident. We’ve heard from some experts who checked in their companies (such as Google and Amazon) that management has an ambivalent stance to providing advice, as long as confidential information isn’t disclosed, of course.

If at any point you’d like to de-register, let us know at support@prepfully.com and we’ll do so immediately.

In the rare circumstance that you’ve had a practice session with a candidate you are asked to interview at your company - we’d recommend you declare a once-off conflict to prevent any mishaps. Again, something that’s literally never happened till date.

Is there any potential conflict of interest?

Please don’t share any information which is considered confidential, proprietary or marked as ‘sensitive’ by your company. 

If you're an interviewer at your current company, please definitely avoid using any questions from the internal question bank.

Your employment contract is a good guide on such decisions. 

If it feels wrong to share, it’s probably better not to :)

Please don’t share any information which is considered confidential, proprietary or marked as ‘sensitive’ by your company.

Is there anything I shouldn’t share with the candidate?

We support PayPal globally except for experts in India (we used to, but then PayPal stopped supporting accounts in India).

We also support direct bank transfers, currently only for experts in

We are rapidly expanding these though, so do check with us at support@prepfully.com if these mechanisms don't work for you, and we'll try to figure something out.

Payments are transferred to your preferred account as soon as we receive feedback from you for the candidate. Please do ensure you send this within 24 hours of completing the session. If for some reasons you're unable to make the timeline, please let us know at support@prepfully.com so we can manage expectations with the candidate.

We aim to initiate transfers within 24 hours of your written feedback being received. Transfers are usually instantaneous; however in some international transactions there can be a delay of up to 48 hours depending on the banks involved. We have also sometimes observed an extra delay of 48 hours within the payment gateway the first time we transfer to an expert.

Refunds due to dissatisfaction with the session

We will forward the feedback we received from the candidate to you, so you can incorporate it (where valid and/or viable) into future sessions.

However, after a refund is requested a second time; we will give you two choices for future sessions:

Option 1: The risk of refunds is transferred to you; i.e. if a candidate requests a refund - we will be unable to transfer payment for the session.

Option 2: We can pause reaching out to you for additional sessions after this point.

If the refund was requested since the candidate didn't receive written feedback (and therefore a "hiring decision" against which they could assess themselves) - you receive 50% of the promised amount.

Once this happens more than 3 times, we transfer the risk entirely to you i.e. we will be unable to transfer payment for a session where a refund was requested due to delayed written feedback.

Please don't let it reach this stage. A refund has only been requested once for this reason, in our entire existence. We'd really like to keep it this way :)

Do I still get paid if the candidate demands a refund?

Please notify us immediately if you don't see the other participant in the call - and do send us a screenshot of what the call looks like at your end. Most of the time, the candidate's trying to join but facing technical issues, which we can then help out with right away.

However, please don't stay in the call beyond 15 minutes - we don't want to waste your time more than necessary. 

If the candidate was just delayed for some reason, and they can join in for the remaining time, we'll email you right away and request you to join back in. In this scenario, you're only expected to fulfil the remaining time in the 60-minute session.

If the candidate is indeed a no-show, we'll investigate to understand why they couldn't make it. 

If it's something serious like a medical emergency, we might ask you to make an exception and support a reschedule. We expect this to happen extremely rarely, of course (it's occurred less than 5 times until today, across 1000s of sessions).

If there is no valid reason received from the candidate, we'll transfer half the session cost to you for the no-show session. In this scenario, there is no requirement for you to spend the full hour; or fill out written feedback for the candidate.

Please let us know at support@prepfully.com if you have any questions or concerns.

What happens if my candidate is a no-show?

We'll let you know right away, of course.

We typically ask candidates to let us know of reschedules ~24 hours before the session. Therefore, we'll try to let you know as soon as we find out. It might sometimes take us a bit longer due to timezone differences. Since experts like yourself have the ability to accept sessions which are as close as 10 hours away, cancellations can sometimes occur in even shorter windows.

In rare situations, candidates have emergencies such as technical challenges or medical issues. This has happened less than 0.5% of the time until date. In this scenario, we might ask you to make an exception and reschedule a session last-minute, to accommodate their need. We do this in very limited circumstances, when we are convinced that the candidate truly cannot make it for the session.

What if a candidate cancels a session scheduled with me?

Please let us know right away if you feel you're unable/unwilling to make it for a scheduled session. A lot of candidates rely on these sessions for deciding if they are ready for their preparation, so it's really important that we manage their expectations.

We try to inform candidates at least 12 hours prior to their session time - so please try to let us with at least that much notice. This helps us both manage candidates' expectation, and also arrange a new session with a new expert when viable. If you're available for a reschedule, let us know which alternative timings might work for you too; we'll try to rearrange the session but we can't guarantee this since it will depend on the candidates' timeline.

For last-minute cancellations or reschedules (we understand, it happens to everyone) - please let us know right away. For these sessions - please join the session for just 2 minutes - and let the candidate know in person that you'll be unable to complete the session at the scheduled time. We ask this since we don't yet have global support coverage; and will often be too late to inform candidates about last-minute cancellations. If you're available for a rescheduled slot, this is also an opportunity to agree on a new timing with the candidate - just let us know the new timing and we'll reschedule the invitation.
