Example questions in the style of this publisher's assessments.
HireVue Video Question: 'Tell me about a time when you had to work with a difficult team member. What did you do and what was the outcome?' (30s prep, 2 min answer)
Use STAR format: Situation (10%), Task (10%), Action (60%), Result (20%). Be specific. HireVue AI analyses verbal content for competency indicators. Specificity scores higher than vague answers.
HireVue Video Question: 'What is your greatest professional achievement and why?' (30s prep, 2 min answer)
Choose an achievement that is quantifiable and relevant to the role. Structure: what was the challenge, what did you specifically do, what was the measurable result.
Practice answering questions to a camera. Most people are uncomfortable on video. Record yourself and review.
Use STAR format for every competency question: Situation (brief), Task (your role), Action (specific steps), Result (quantified outcome).
HireVue AI analyses verbal content. Focus on what you say, not how you look.
Prepare 6-8 STAR stories covering: leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, commercial awareness, resilience, and innovation.
Check your lighting and background before starting. A well-lit, neutral background creates a professional impression.
HireVue originally claimed to analyse facial expressions but faced criticism and legal challenges. They have since shifted focus to analysing verbal content (what you say) and speech patterns. The AI looks for competency indicators in your language.
Typically 30 seconds preparation time and 2-3 minutes to answer each question. You usually get 1-3 retakes per question.
