Ah, the thrilling journey through the Blackstone recruitment jungle! Swinging from the Pymetrics games vine to the video interview branch is no small feat, so kudos on making it to this stage. Now, regarding the selectivity of the video interview stage:
Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's safe to say that if you've been invited to the video interview, you've already demonstrated some impressive traits that Blackstone is looking for. However, the video interview is indeed a more selective round. It's designed to further narrow down the pool of candidates to those who not only have the right skills on paper but also possess the communication skills, cultural fit, and potential to thrive at Blackstone.
Here are a few tips to help you swing confidently into this next round: - Be prepared to articulate your motivation for wanting to join Blackstone and the specific division you applied to. - Brush up on your technical knowledge and be ready to demonstrate it. - Practice your responses to common behavioral questions. - Ensure your setup is professional – good lighting, clear audio, and a tidy background. - Lastly, be yourself! Authenticity can be a breath of fresh air to interviewers.
Remember, every step in the recruitment process is an opportunity to showcase a different facet of your candidacy. So, make the most of it and good luck!

Pymetrics and video interview are two different things. should only assume those are offered to 1) get a baseline test of your skills from the games, and 2) contribute more to your app beyond your resume. if you got a video interview, and not just pymetrics, it probably means ur resume had a high enough gpa, good enough buzzwords, and might’ve mentioned a target school. don’t read much into it. try your best on the games. study the group you’re applying to for your video interview. good luck!
Thank you so much - I was able to do more research and what you said was completely correct!
Am I supposed to get different Pymetrics interviews for different divisions I applied to? Or is it the same for all the divisions? Thanks!
I've gotten three video ones so far and it used my first response for all of them. For reference have applied to 4 groups.
