I know I should submit my application as soon as possible, but how quickly after receiving a HireVue should I do it? Is earlier always better, or can I wait a few days?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's generally recommended to complete your HireVue as soon as possible after receiving the invitation. For example, Morgan Stanley's process gives candidates 48 hours to complete their HireVue, and delaying could result in missing the opportunity. Similarly, for Goldman Sachs, while there isn't a strict timeline mentioned, completing it promptly shows enthusiasm and ensures you stay ahead in the recruitment process.
However, taking a day or two to prepare and practice is acceptable, especially since platforms like HireVue offer unlimited practice trials. Use this time to familiarize yourself with the format, rehearse your responses, and ensure you're ready to perform well. Just don't wait too long, as some firms may prioritize candidates who submit earlier.
