Do HireVues even matter?
Do recruiters actually care about HireVues (SA / FT recruitment)? Isn't the real differentiator the CV even if you mess up a couple of questions?
And if you've got a contact internally who is backing up your candidacy, I bet what you answer won't even really matter.
What do you all think? What is the whole point of HireVues then?
If you network properly no, they don’t matter
Gotta take your HVs seriously and make a good impression through them either way. Even if you have someone vouching for you or if you have a really strong resume, the HV is often the first step in evaluating you as a candidate. so they definitely matter.
Their weight is imo disproportionately on personality (e.g just making sure you aren’t a total weirdo) and that you have a basic level of knowledge about the firm. People in hiring roles that I’ve spoken to say they watch them with the airport test in mind, pretty much.
They're a check the box to make sure you know what you're doing - hard to differentiate yourself but you can definitely eliminate yourself if you bomb questions... there's not really room to be messing up questions since they ask very open-ended behavioral questions. At least at my firm, someone does watch every last one of them
Unless your internal contact is a high-ranking MD, pretty much everyone applying for IB has multiple people backing them internally so I wouldn't say that is going to help all that much
Yes they're looked at by real people and in my experience, I don't always see your CV when I send the feedback. Ultimate decision on offer/no offer or next stage or not isn't necessarily made by those who view the HVs though. They could be just one part of a holistic feedback process.
depends on firm. GS and JPM acc takes HV very srsly whereas its an HR charade in other firms
Agree. I don’t know why other comments are downplaying HV importance. For BofA IBD, your hirevue is seen by like six MDs who score you to determine if you go to the next round. Other banks, I believe a single individual goes through a few hundred en masse.
