I submitted my HireVue last month. I sounded overly rehearsed for most parts, like I was a robot reciting a script. And at parts when I did falter a bit (happened two to three times overall), it probably seemed like I had forgotten the script lol. I tried to sound more conversational but I got nervous and ended up being very awkward.
I got my superday invite two weeks later. Possible reasons I passed the HireVue round:
1) The video screeners managed to look past the delivery of my answers and focus on the content instead. The content for 5/6 of my answers was great, though I didn't really have much to say for the remaining question.
2) I have a pretty good resume (minus my GPA). But I have no idea if the resume is considered when HCM decides who to pass for the HireVue round.
For context: I didn't pass the HireVue round because of networking. Didn't know anyone in the office I applied for (wish I had networked, could have helped me post-superday).
