What is a HireVue interview?
A HireVue interview is a pre-recorded video interview where you answer questions on camera without an interviewer present. The employer sets the questions in advance, and you record your answers at a time that suits you. Your responses are then reviewed by recruiters and, in most cases, analysed by HireVue's AI technology.
HireVue is used by the majority of top-tier graduate employers in the UK, including Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citi, Barclays, Deloitte, EY, Bain, and Amazon. It is typically the second or third stage of the application process, coming after the online application and aptitude tests but before the final interview or assessment centre.
The standard format gives you 30 seconds of preparation time after reading each question, followed by up to 3 minutes to record your answer. Most interviews contain 3-5 questions, primarily behavioural and competency-based, with some firms including motivational or technical questions. The entire process usually takes 20-30 minutes.
Since 2021, HireVue no longer uses facial analysis. The AI now focuses exclusively on verbal content — what you say, how you structure your answer, and how relevant your response is to the question. This means your words and preparation matter far more than your appearance or body language.
