The format

What the Jump Trading 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 Jump Trading 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 Jump Trading HireVue questions

Pulled from past applicants and Jump Trading'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

    1. 01STAR every behavioural. Situation in one sentence, task in one, action in three, result with a number. The structure is the score.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 04Reference Jump Trading 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.
    5. 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.
