Practicing against the posting you actually found
A specific kitchen's posting changes what an interview needs to cover. A gastropub listing built around a busy weekend service reads differently from a hotel banquet kitchen posting built around a 300-cover plated event, and a fine-dining posting that names a tasting-menu format calls for a different kind of costing reasoning than a fast-casual concept with a tight ticket-time target.
A posting that also names a station structure, say a dedicated garde manger and pastry line versus a small kitchen where one cook covers both, implies a different kind of team-management question too.
Pasting that exact posting in gives a session that questions on what the listing actually asked for, concept, volume, menu style, station structure, rather than a generic set of kitchen questions built for no specific dining room.
What gets covered from your posting
The AI reads the requirements, responsibilities, and any named concept, volume, or menu-style details in the posting before the first question, then builds the session around them. A posting that names a covers-per-service figure or a tasting-menu format gets questioned differently from one that lists a high-volume banquet operation, since the kitchen realities behind those two numbers aren't the same.
The same posting text also already feeds a resume-versus-posting match score elsewhere on the platform, and this interview type puts it to a different use, turning the listed requirements into spoken questions instead of only a number describing how closely a resume lines up on paper.
Scoring
How scoring applies to a posting-specific session
Technical carries real weight here since the questions draw straight from the posting's own concept and volume language rather than a general prompt, and the written reasoning reflects how directly the answers addressed what the listing actually asked for.
Calibration floors and caps apply the same way they do on every type, so an answer that talks around a named volume number without reasoning through it won't outscore a shorter answer that actually engages with the math.
Behavioral still counts for anything the posting implies about pace or team size, since a 300-cover banquet posting and a small tasting-menu kitchen imply different leadership and service-pressure demands even when neither is asked as its own separate question.
Frequently asked questions
Does the kitchen's posting have to come from the Intervieux job board?
No. Any posting text can be pasted in, whether it's a listing on the Intervieux job board, a restaurant group's own careers page, or a posting found elsewhere, as long as the description text is available to work from.
Will it ask about a specific covers number or concept named in the posting?
If the posting names a covers-per-service figure, a tasting-menu format, or a specific concept, the session builds questions around that detail directly rather than asking about volume or concept in general terms.
How is this different from a resume-based interview?
This type reads a job posting and questions you against that kitchen's requirements. A resume-based interview reads your own resume and questions you about your own past kitchens and service volumes instead.
Do I have to have already applied to a kitchen before running this session?
No. It works whether or not an application is in yet, which makes it a reasonable way to size up a specific kitchen's requirements before deciding to apply, as well as practice once the application is already sent.
What if the posting doesn't mention a covers number or a menu style at all?
The session works from whatever text the posting actually gives it. A shorter listing produces questions grounded in the details it does name, responsibilities, required experience, station or team size, rather than inventing a covers figure or a menu style the posting never mentioned.
