HireVue good or bad for recruiting?

Does talking to a camera really asses a candidate's ability to succeed in a role and interact with others? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts from both an applicant and recruiting perspective.

I think Hirevues are bad for recruiting. Some people are great on camera but terrible in person, and some are the opposite. Are you ever going to be talking to a camera in an IBD role?

Also, I like being able to establish a connection with my interviewer. Chat a little bit, make it feel less forced and more comfortable, and then you also learn more about the bank (by asking questions). Personally, my success rate is far better with phone interviews than Hirevues.

That being said, it makes sense on the employer end. They interview more kids and it takes way less time, it’s all completely standardized, etc, but I hate it as an applicant.

 

absolutely...i've been on the observation side of hirevue...you can tell a lot about a person...intelligence etc...after watching a lot of them you start to see behavioral patterns...if you are lying or trying to cover up and not be honest, etc...

just google it...you're welcome
