Blackstone Informational Session
I applied to BX Summer program in London and received a selective hirevue
However I haven’t heard back since and two days ago I received an invitation to a zoom informational session that is “mandatory to continue in the process”
Do you know what this is? Has anybody else got this post hirevue? Feels strange
Based on the most helpful WSO content, receiving an invitation to a mandatory Zoom informational session after completing a HireVue for Blackstone's Summer program is not entirely unusual. These sessions are often used as a way for firms to further evaluate candidates while also providing more insight into the company and its culture. It could serve multiple purposes:
Candidate Screening: Blackstone might use this session to assess your engagement, interest, and professionalism. Pay attention to how you present yourself and interact during the session.
Information Sharing: The session could be an opportunity for Blackstone to share more about the program, expectations, and next steps in the process.
Mandatory Participation: Since the session is labeled as "mandatory to continue in the process," it’s likely a critical step in their evaluation. Missing it could disqualify you from moving forward.
While it may feel strange to receive this after a HireVue, it could simply be part of their unique recruiting process. Make sure to prepare as you would for any formal interaction—dress professionally, have thoughtful questions ready, and ensure your setup (camera, microphone, lighting) is optimal. Good luck!

What division
RE Partners
Yeah received it as well, not sure if we're meant to prepare questions or anything
But did you also do an interview after the Hirevue? Or only received this? Because interviews came out already past weeks
Only received this after hirevue
Hey did you go to the session? How was it? I also got it
I think interviews have only come out for RE partners?
