HireVue

Research the job responsibilities and company culture, choose a well-lit space with a good internet connection, and check your technology. Ensure your device is charged, your microphone is working, and position your video feed near the top center of your screen for better eye contact.

You need a device (computer, tablet, or phone) with an internet download and upload speed of at least 350 Kbps per second (.35 Mbps). You can test your internet speed and ensure your microphone is working before starting the interview.

No, Hirevue never uses the video recording of your interview for facial recognition or identification purposes.

No, Hirevue interviews and assessments are used as a first step to help recruiters make the initial cut. The top candidates then move on to person-to-person interviews before hiring decisions are made by people.

Hirevue stores your personal data based on the retention period chosen by the company you're interviewing with. You can request that your personal data be deleted at any point by contacting the recruiter or checking the company's application page for instructions.

Video-based assessments evaluate both hard skills (what you know about performing the job) and soft competencies like communication skills, problem-solving, team orientation, and initiative. These competencies are based on research about what's important for success in the specific job role.

Hirevue focuses only on the skills and competencies relevant to the job role and ignores factors like age, race, gender, GPA, or college attended. The assessments are designed to prevent bias and level the playing field for all candidates.

Feeling nervous is natural. Hirevue assessments are designed for specific job roles and focus only on competencies and skills directly related to success in that role. Nervousness or lack of eye contact is not penalized.
