Will this help me get hired at a US/UK company?

For the English part of getting hired, yes. Cambiyo builds the real-time conversation skill that makes the difference in behavioural interviews and culture-fit calls. It doesn't help with technical interviews — your technical skills are what they are. For technical interview prep, services like LeetCode or Pramp are better.

Are speakers experienced in international hiring?

Some are. Speakers' profiles tell you about their backgrounds. Some have hired people, some have been hired at international companies. But the value isn't hiring expertise — it's regular real conversation practice.

Can I do mock interviews?

Yes, with most speakers. Tell them what role you're interviewing for and ask them to play the hiring manager. Many speakers will do this gladly.

What about my accent?

Most international companies don't care about accent — they care that you can hold a real-time conversation. Cambiyo helps with the conversation flow, not accent reduction. Plenty of senior people at US companies have strong accents.

What if no one is online during my time zone?

That depends on how many speakers we have at launch, which we are working on now. The plan is to have speakers in many time zones so there is always someone online when you have time. We'd rather tell you that's the goal than promise it before we know.

Cambiyo launches 1 July 2026. Real native English speakers. Free waitlist.

You can do the job. The skills are there, the experience is there, the GitHub or the portfolio or the case studies prove it. The difference between you and the engineer in San Francisco doing the same work is not the work. It's that they earn $150,000 and you earn $25,000.

The remote market changed this. Companies in the US, UK, Germany, Australia hire remote workers from anywhere now. The rate gap is closing for skilled work. A senior engineer in Bangalore at a remote-first US company earns $80,000-120,000. A senior designer in Mexico City at a London startup earns £55,000-75,000. The numbers are real and they are huge compared to local salaries.

The gate is English. Not your written English — companies have already adjusted to messy Slack and async-friendly hiring. The gate is the live interview, the live standup, the live performance review. The moments when you have to speak fast and clear in real time, with native speakers, without the cushion of writing.

You have probably already felt this gap. Maybe you've applied for international remote roles. Maybe you got past the technical interviews fine and then the behavioural round didn't go well. Maybe you got the job and now you're underperforming in standup because you can keep up with the work but not the talking-about-the-work.

This is fixable. It's not about your English ability in the abstract. It's about real-time spoken English under pressure, and that's a specific skill you can train.

You have probably already tried the obvious things. English YouTube. Duolingo on the commute. Maybe paid for an English app. None of it was wasted. None of it fixed the standup problem either. The reason: standups happen in real time, with humans, at their own pace. AI is patient. Real Americans are not.

You don't need another textbook. You need to talk to real native English speakers, often, until your speaking speed catches up to your work skills.

That is what we are building.

What we’re building

Cambiyo

You open the app. You see who is online right now. You filter by accent (American is most useful for US companies; British, Australian, Irish for those markets). You see ratings, prices, profiles. You pick someone. You start talking.

Speakers set their own prices, starting from $5 per hour. You pay only for the time you spend talking. No subscription. No booking.

Every speaker is checked before they go live. They send a video selfie. We check their face, accent, and country. Anyone fake doesn't get on the platform.

They are not interview coaches or career coaches. They are real native English speakers (students, freelancers, retirees, anyone fluent in English who wants to earn from a conversation). Some work in tech, design, or other professional fields themselves. Many don't. That's not a problem because what you need is regular real conversation practice with someone who isn't going to slow down for you.

Some speakers will run mock interviews if you ask. Tell them what role you're interviewing for and they'll ask the kinds of questions a hiring manager might ask. Some will play a colleague in a mock standup or 1:1. The point is you saying the words you'd say in a real call, out loud, with a real human responding in real time.

What practice looks like

It's a Tuesday morning where you live. You have an interview with a US startup at 10pm tonight. Jake from California is online. You spend 45 minutes with him running through likely questions: tell me about yourself, why this role, walk me through a project. By the time the real interview starts, the answers come without thinking and your English is already moving.

You got the job. Now it's three weeks in and you're behind in standups. Your American manager talks fast, your colleagues use idioms you don't know, and you've been quiet because you can't keep up. Sarah is online. You spend 30 minutes a day with her for two weeks. She asks you to talk about your work, asks follow-up questions, doesn't slow down for you. By the third week of practice, you're contributing in standup again.

It's six months in. You're doing well, but you've avoided one-to-ones with your skip-level because they make you nervous. The next one is in three days. Claire is online. You spend an hour role-playing the conversation. By the time the real one happens, you say the things you actually wanted to say.

The skip-level conversation goes differently. You stop being held back by something you can fix.
