Grant Thornton's HireVue targets a different candidate profile than the Big 4. As a mid-tier firm with deliberately "challenger" positioning, GT's questions test entrepreneurial thinking, client ownership, and willingness to take responsibility earlier than Big 4 peers. Their video scoring explicitly rewards candidates who demonstrate they want more responsibility sooner — the pitch is "bigger fish, smaller pond." Candidates who apply to GT as a Big 4 backup (and let this show in generic answers) are consistently filtered out.
