FrameLab vs Soreno: which AI interviewer to prepare for consulting?
Both let you run a case out loud with an AI. Soreno does it in English and also covers investment banking. FrameLab does it in French and in English, on cases asked in interviews by the firms that recruit in France.
Soreno is an interview practice app built around an AI voice interviewer, made by Trueplace Technologies. It targets candidates for consulting, investment banking and other finance roles, and also has tracks for product manager and MBA admissions interviews. FrameLab prepares for strategy consulting only and was built in France: the cases come from real interviews, practice exists in French, and the online tests are the ones firms use here. If you interview in English for an English-speaking office, the choice is a real one. If you interview in France, language and where the cases come from weigh heavily.
