Help & FAQ
Everything you need to know about using Qrankr — whether you’re preparing for an interview or running one.
About Qrankr
What is Qrankr?+
Qrankr is a free interview-preparation resource. It has 900+ real interview questions, each explained from both sides — why an interviewer asks it and how to answer it well — plus tools to practice and to build interviews.
Who is it for?+
Two audiences. Job seekers preparing for interviews, and interviewers or hiring managers who want to run sharper, more consistent, competency-based interviews.
Is it free? Do I need an account?+
It's completely free, and there's no signup. You don't create an account or give us your name or email. Your bookmarks, saved questions, guides, and practice progress are stored privately in your own browser.
How are the questions created, and are they accurate?+
Questions are curated and AI-assisted, then quality-reviewed. They reflect the kinds of questions commonly asked in real interviews across many skills and roles. Treat the guidance as a strong starting point and adapt it to your own situation.
Finding & using questions
How do I find questions?+
Browse the Questions page and filter by skill, difficulty, or type. Or press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) anywhere to instantly search every question by title.
What are kits?+
Kits are curated question sets for a specific role or situation — for example Software Engineer, Behavioral Essentials, Skilled Trades, Sales, or Healthcare. They're a focused way to prepare for one kind of interview.
What do the difficulty and frequency labels mean?+
Each question is tagged easy, medium, or hard (how tricky it is to answer well) and with how often that type of question comes up in interviews. You can sort and filter the question list by both.
How do the rankings work?+
Questions are ranked by community signal, seeded from historical engagement so the board isn't empty. You can upvote or downvote questions to influence the order.
Can I save questions for later?+
Yes — tap Save on any question, then find them all on the Saved page. Saved questions live on your current device since there's no account.
Candidate vs. interviewer view
What is the “I'm interviewing / I'm hiring” toggle?+
On every question you can switch perspective. Candidate view shows why the question is asked and how to answer it. Interviewer view shows what the question assesses, signs of a strong answer (green flags), warning signs (red flags), and good follow-up questions. Your choice is remembered as you browse.
Practice Mode & AI feedback
What is Practice Mode?+
Practice Mode lets you drill a kit or skill one question at a time: read the question, answer it in your head or out loud, reveal the guidance, then self-rate Got it or Needs review. It tracks your progress and can re-quiz the ones you flagged.
How does AI feedback work?+
Inside Practice Mode, after you reveal the guidance you can type your own answer and get AI feedback — a score out of 10 with specific strengths, improvements, and one key tip. Your answer is sent to an AI model to generate the feedback, so please don't include sensitive personal information. There's a limit of 10 free reviews per day.
Is my practice answer stored?+
No. We don't store the answers you submit for AI feedback. See the Privacy Policy for details.
For interviewers: Guide Builder
What is the Interview Guide Builder?+
It lets interviewers assemble a custom interview: search and add questions, reorder them, and name the guide. Then export a clean, printable guide that includes what each question assesses, green and red flags, follow-ups, and space for notes and ratings.
How do I export my guide to PDF?+
Open Preview & Print from the builder, then use your browser's Print dialog and choose “Save as PDF.” The printed version hides the site navigation and prints in a clean, readable layout.
Privacy, devices & contact
What data do you collect about me?+
As little as possible. No accounts, no names or emails. Your preferences and saved items stay in your browser. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture.
Does my saved data sync across devices?+
Not currently. Because there's no account, your saved questions, guides, and progress are tied to the browser and device you used. Use the same browser to see them again.
Is there a dark mode? Does it work on mobile?+
Yes to both. Toggle light/dark with the sun/moon button in the header (it follows your system setting by default), and the whole site is built to work on phones and tablets.
