MUMBAI, India - August 1, 2026 - ForesightedHR today announced the launch of InCoach, a certification and professional-network initiative designed to prepare experienced professionals to become interview coaches for the rapidly changing era of AI-enabled hiring.
Artificial intelligence is increasingly influencing how employers source, screen and assess candidates. LinkedIn’s 2025 Future of Recruiting research found that 73% of talent-acquisition professionals believe AI will change how companies hire, while 37% were already experimenting with or actively integrating generative AI into their recruitment processes. Professionals using the technology reported saving an average of 20% of their workweek.
The wider employment landscape is also undergoing significant disruption. The World Economic Forum estimates that 22% of today’s jobs will be affected by labour-market transformation by 2030, with 170 million roles expected to be created and 92 million displaced. Nearly 40% of the skills required for work are expected to change, while 77% of employers plan to respond to AI disruption by upskilling their workforce.
These changes are creating a new challenge for candidates. Preparing for an interview now requires more than rehearsing standard questions. Candidates must understand automated CV screening, skills-based assessment, role-matching systems, AI-supported interviews and increasingly structured evaluation processes. The need extends beyond external job searches to internal promotions, leadership assessments, succession decisions and senior-level selection panels.
ForesightedHR’s existing Interview Support Services combine role-specific AI analysis with optional human coaching. Candidates can submit their CV and target job description to receive structured preparation covering role fit, likely interview themes, achievement positioning, difficult questions and mock-interview practice. Those requiring additional support can work with a human coach to improve answer delivery, confidence, executive presence and interview performance.
InCoach has been developed to create a qualified panel of professionals capable of providing this human guidance while understanding the technologies that increasingly shape hiring decisions.
“AI can analyse a role, identify patterns and help structure preparation, but candidates still need experienced human judgment, challenge and encouragement,” said Dr. K. K. Reddy, Program Director at ForesightedHR. “InCoach brings these two capabilities together. It enables experienced interviewers to develop a specialised professional identity while helping candidates prepare for some of the most important decisions of their careers.”
The two-month program is intended for professionals who have significant workplace experience and have previously conducted interviews as hiring managers, recruitment professionals, functional leaders, panel members or business decision-makers. A formal coaching background is not mandatory.
Participants are trained in areas including:
AI-enabled screening and interviewing systems
Job-description decoding and CV-to-role mapping
Candidate psychology and confidence building
Behavioural and competency-based interviewing
Leadership and internal-promotion assessments
Structured mock interviews and practical feedback
Strategic career and interview positioning
Responsible use of AI alongside human judgment
The published curriculum comprises 15 sessions delivered through digital learning resources, practical activities, live interactions and final assessment. Successful participants may become eligible for a professional profile, access to the InCoach resource toolkit and consideration for appropriate candidate referrals, subject to demand, suitability, availability and professional standards.
For coaches and experienced professionals, InCoach offers an opportunity to convert existing interviewing, leadership or recruitment knowledge into a specialised service. Certified participants may support candidates referred through the platform and may also use the methodology and available AI-supported resources with independently sourced clients.
For candidates, the initiative aims to expand access to coaches who understand both the human dimensions of interview preparation and the realities of modern AI-enabled hiring. This can be particularly valuable for professionals preparing for high-stakes external interviews, internal promotions, leadership transitions, panel assessments and board-level opportunities.
Two certification tracks are available:
InCoach is intended for professionals with at least 10 years of experience who want to support junior, mid-career and emerging senior candidates.
CXO InCoach is intended for professionals with at least 20 years of experience and leadership exposure who want to support senior-management, CXO and board-level candidates.
More information and applications are available through the InCoach program page.
