About The
FactFind
The 2-minute introduction that shapes your entire interview experience.
The FactFind is your opening moment in every Skillity practice interview — a 120-second window where you set the stage. It acts as the foundation that determines how relevant and personalised your AI practice session will be.
Tips & Tricks for an Effective FactFind
Getting the most out of your FactFind is about being intentional. Here's how to maximize those 120 seconds:
Be Specific About Role
Go beyond generic labels like 'Finance'. Try 'Investment Banking Associate' or 'Strategic Analyst'. The more detail you share, the more precisely the AI can calibrate to that role's seniority and expectations.
Mention Key Experiences
Reference specific achievements. 'I led a team of 5 on a product launch' gives the AI context to probe deeper.
State Career Goals
Where do you want to be in 2-3 years? These motivations will shape the 'Will' dimension questions you receive.
Include Industry Context
If you're pivoting industries, explain why. If staying, mention what specifically excites you about continuing.
Use the Full Time
You have 2 minutes. Don't rush. Many candidates finish in 30 seconds and wonder why questions feel generic.
Practice Your Narrative
Think of it like an elevator pitch. It should flow naturally covering who you are, what you've done, and where you're going.
How It Works
The FactFind is designed to adapt to whatever level of specificity you provide. This flexibility means it works whether you have a laser-focused career target or are exploring broader possibilities.
General Approach
For explorers and generalists
If you say "I'm interested in consulting" without specifying a firm, the AI tests general competencies.
- Broad industry knowledge
- Transferable skills assessment
- Behavioral probes
Specific Approach
For focused candidates
If you say "Product Manager at Google," the AI researches actual Google interviews and values.
- Company-specific values
- Role technical scenarios
- Cultural fit indicators
Company-Specific Intelligence
When you name a specific company, our AI conducts real-time research to understand:
- The company's core values and mission
- Common interview question formats they use
- Key competencies they look for in candidates
- Recent company developments and initiatives
- Industry-specific challenges and trends
- Cultural fit indicators and expectations
Why This Matters
Networking & Intros
Every networking event or LinkedIn message requires you to succinctly communicate who you are.
Congruence is Everything
Interviewers can sense when your motivations don't align with your stated goals.
CVs Are Dead (Almost)
Your resume gets you in the door, but your ability to tell your story is what gets you the offer.
First Impressions
Research shows interviewers form initial impressions within the first 2 minutes.
Why Skillity's Approach is Better

Flexible
Develop the ability to pivot your narrative for any opportunity.
Confidence
Get used to making a strong professional impression.
Realistic
Interviews often start with a "tell me about yourself" question.
