Anyone have experience with the Hirevue video interviews?
I am recently looking to go into Consulting as a Senior Associate Level hire and it looks like consulting firms are using this video interview format now? Anyone have experience with HireVue interview you can share, preferably for Deloitte and IBM, but any experience with other firms you can share is much welcomed as well. Thanks very much!!!
They give you a couple of minutes to record some practice answers, then it's pretty standard "Why this firm", "What is the biggest accomplishment on your resume" for about 2-3 mins each. IMO they use it as a screening tool for the bottom 20%. Shouldn't give you a problem,
Thanks for the heads up.
Just did mine. It's basically what Daniel said. My advice is to prepare, but don't over prepare. You want to sound natural and come across as such. During the practice section I realized I was over-preparing when my answers began to get worse instead of better. I was trying to figure out how to say more and nearly lost site of my original answer.
I had a couple of those, and one thing I wish I did was to not freak out when there is little time left (~10sec). Realizing I still had a little time left after I've said my answer, I tried to fill the gap with some rambling, which probably sounded dumb. Should've just ended my answer and just smiled during the pause of something..
Had one for an undergrad BlackRock interview Basically it'll give you a question, then ~5 min to prep an answer, then ready or not it will start the recording (that you can end whenever, or it will end automatically after a certain amount of time)
FWIW the questions for that were pretty generic/softball, though I'm sure a more senior position at a consulting firm will be more geared toward cases maybe?

JPM and GS are the only ones who use HireVue, right?
Pre-recorded video interviews - just why? (Originally Posted: 11/05/2016)
Anyone else feel the same way about these things? Half the value in an interview is the two way interaction - where does staring madly at your webcam for 2 minutes while reciting your resume and cover letter in speech format come into the equation?
Do these really add value? Besides verifying you don't look like a boot.
Well its obviously to not screen for the hot female candidates...
But in all seriousness I think they're stupid too.
Video interview at MM (Originally Posted: 11/08/2013)
Non-target, applied for a SA at a MM through career site. Granted an video interview--in which I am to upload answers to pre-specified questions. Anyone have any experience with this type of interview?
Video interviews are relatively straight forward. Prepare for it as you would a normal interview. You're likely to get questions with a short amount of time to think about and then the recording time (pre-specified typically) will begin for you to record your responses. Do have a trial run with your webcam prior to the interview to make sure everything is working smoothly. There are some good sites on the web that can give you advice on how to position your lights to improve your appearance on the recording - if you wanted to take it that far. Before the interview try to get your in the interview mindset and imagine it was an actual live interview.
I have not done an interview like that (And I am at a MM). Curious as to how this actual goes down....
This is bizarre. If someone is going to take the time to watch your videos, why the hell wouldn't they just interview you?
because bringing people for interviews costs a lot of money so they want to weed out the bottom candidates first.

Does anyone else's HireVue malfunction and not let them logon? I've applied for a position for JPMC in the CIB and it has been a cluster-fk. Who is the idiot who green-lighted the automated screening? Does anyone else see the failures that will come from implementing this.
JimmyChowDawg, pure crickets, that's where I come in. Any of these useful?
More suggestions...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
The hardest part of these is sounding natural. Don't stare too hard into the webcam, smile, and try and be natural. It's also tricky answering questions when you have a time constraint. Err on the side of not speaking too much, rather than rambling or having your answers cut off. There's usually an option to stop the recording when you finish answering a question. Keep it crisp and hit stop when you're done.
I will shed the light on the fact that it is widely accepted that job interviews nowadays are getting harder due to the usage of Artificial Intelligence AI. Thus, YOU, as a candidate, must put the H on your chest to be even smarter. You may ask BUT HOW? Hmmm...! Well, it is pretty easy. Use what they are using as an upper hand. I believe that NOW you are aware of what I am talking about, AI. Rest sure, I have written a FREE ebook that demonstrates the science behind job interview questions and how to answer them. Check it NOW, thank me LATER.
