About Up The Rungs

We're a mission-driven founding team building the mock interview platform we wish we'd had when climbing our own career ladders.

Our mission

Climb with confidence.

Up The Rungs is an AI-powered mock interview platform built for skilled professionals preparing for knowledge-based careers in Canada. We believe that interviewing is a skill you can sharpen — and that the right practice, feedback, and context can make the difference between a missed opportunity and a dream offer.

Our frameworks are calibrated to Canadian hiring norms, from STAR behavioural responses to communication styles that resonate with local hiring managers. Whether you're in accounting, finance, engineering, technology, or any other knowledge-based field, we're here to help you walk in ready.
