Basically it's a good chance to practice and get feedback in the worst case, and a way to save some time and get your foot in the door in the best case.

It'd be even better if I could TAKE the interview anonymously. Then I wouldn't need to trust Refdash on whether it was recording my information. Bonus: it's much easier to limit bias when you don't know any demographic information about the interviewee.
I understand that the downside here is that I could potentially take the interview many times until I generated a positive result. But maybe there's a happy middle ground somewhere.
Interviews are somewhat anonymous, the interviewer only gets your first name (added that too). We've discussed making it even more anonymous (voice modulation, hiding video, etc.) but it seems like this has been studied before and did not have much of an effect.
