The format
What the G-Research HireVue actually looks like
Pre-recorded video interview. Each question gets a short prep timer, then a one-take recording window. No retakes. Scored by G-Research talent acquisition against a rubric.
Prep timer
Typically 30 seconds. Long enough to outline a STAR structure in your head, too short to write a script.
Recording
1.5 to 2 minutes per question. One take, no pauses, no edit. The platform records as soon as the prep timer ends.
Scoring
Transcript-based against six competencies. Tone and facial expression are not the primary signal; the words you say are.
Real questions
0 real G-Research HireVue questions
Pulled from past applicants and G-Research's published guidance. Each annotated with what they're testing for so you know how to frame the answer.

What gets you through
Five moves that decide the HireVue
- 01STAR every behavioural. Situation in one sentence, task in one, action in three, result with a number. The structure is the score.
- 02Cut filler words ruthlessly. Three filler words ("um", "you know", "sort of") drops your confidence score by ~6 points. Record yourself, count them, stop them.
- 03Use specific numbers. "Led a team" is filler. "Led a 6-person team that delivered £400k of revenue" is signal. Every behavioural needs at least one quantified outcome.
- 04Reference G-Research concretely. For motivation questions, name a specific deal, a person you spoke to, a division you researched. Generic "I admire the brand" answers are the modal failure mode.
- 05Practise on camera, not in your head. Reading answers to yourself is not the same as recording them. Filler words, eye-line, pacing: all only show up when the camera is on.
