i saw on a thread somewhere that this was mentioned
also what if there was a service to do mock interviews specifically for hirevue questions, that would be worth spending a little money on

If you actually pay someone to look at hirevue questions for you, I hope you never ever get the job.
some hardos lie on their resume
some do ec's just to pad their resume
some buy/sell questions it seems
We need to rid the world of gunners
Honestly, if you can't even face hirevues which are the most basic questions, you don't deserve to sit for a live interview. Are you lazy? Unprepared? Think you can pay your way in? These are the questions that come to mind.
For interview prep, you can do this on your own time, look up the most common questions for the firm and just practice with friends or peers or at the career office. I'm sure people would pay for something like that if they want to throw money away.
It's funny that this is even a question
I mean, you would expect finance people/bankers to try and game the system more than anyone else
If you're paying people to try to sidestep the Hirevue process you suffer from both a severe lack of character and stupidity, and therefore don't belong in finance. Period. It's literally the most basic shit.
Granted there's plenty of people who both lack character and are stupid in finance, but they will get weeded out in the end.
Need someone to shed some light on this - does anyone actually look at/review Hirevues?? Are they meaningless?
Definitely not meaningless. If they were than everyone would get a follow up interview after the hirevue.
I just feel like 99% of SA/FT kids networked their way in through alumni or knowing someone and the hirevue is just checking the box. You're telling me people actually sit down and base a part of their decision to move forward with someone off of these? I've never heard of these having any sort of impact
If people want a job that bad, I hope they never get that job
If you think that is absurd, there are actually career consulting companies offering the buying & selling of internal referrals, which speaks to both the candidates and the employees.
Can't be good for employers since the quality is severely diminished. Short term gain long term loss?
I've heard of this. Can't believe this is a thing
what is this thing? I'm too old apparently
Interview questions on your computer. You get a question prompt, 30 seconds to prepare an answer, and then a minute to give your answer to the camera recording you. It is extremely cold and uncomfortable for a lot of people. I thrive in live interviews and got my IB spot on my first live interview. I did a HireVue for JP Morgan and did awful. You're worried about lighting, looking at the camera, there's no body language to gauge the direction of your answer. They're garbo.
Jesus that sounds lame. So a bank will make you do that before a real interview, and they will watch these answers and then decide if you get a next round?
And what would people be "buying / selling" just the specific questions they got from a particular company? Seems odd, how many unknown questions can there really be.
100% agree. It also feels awkward when you have to click next question etc.
Makes you overthink every movement you make
yo dog, I got some questions to sell you
Yes, in front of Bocconi University there is a paper ad with the phone number, someone is selling 2020 hirevues for all major banks in London. Price Tier1 20 EUR per hirevue, the rest 10 EUR. All with the proof.
WTF lol, I know people that offer application prep services for Superdays, interviews, CVs/CLs - note that they have very good successrates but damn for hirevues.
Situation in Italy is very specific and students try to take every chance to land an offer in London. If you dont manage to do that you will unfortunately have to work 09-23 for 1700 EUR net per month at Unicredit IBD division in Milan.
So so sad
