Can Hirevue see how much time you take between retakes?

So we all know that if you have a hirevue that allows retakes, you can essentially spend as much time reviewing your first try as you want and use that time to prep your answer for the retake. I'm curious if the people reviewing your hirevue are able to see how much time you took between retakes, and if that will negatively impact their decision.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not explicitly stated whether HireVue tracks the time taken between retakes or if reviewers can see this information. However, the primary focus for reviewers tends to be on the content and delivery of your answers. They are looking for confidence, brevity, and clarity of thought. As long as your responses are well-prepared and polished, the time spent preparing should not negatively impact their decision. It's more important to use the time you have to prepare a strong answer than to worry about the perception of time taken between retakes.

  1. Regarding the question about whether taking two attempts on a HireVue question can impact you negatively, it's not typically seen as a negative unless it becomes evident that you are not well-prepared. The option for a retake is there for a reason, and many candidates use it to deliver the best possible answer.
