Try a Macquarie Group HireVue question

Macquarie's HireVue stands apart from traditional investment banking video interviews. As the world's largest infrastructure asset manager and a specialist in real assets, their questions focus less on M&A and more on your understanding of infrastructure, energy, and commodity markets. Macquarie's Australian culture also shows up in their HireVue — they value entrepreneurialism and independent thinking more explicitly than any other bank, and their questions are designed to surface these traits.

Scoring

How Macquarie Group scores your HireVue

Macquarie Group evaluates HireVue answers using a combination of AI-assisted analysis and human reviewers. AI flags patterns in speech and content, but human reviewers make the final pass/fail decision.

Entrepreneurial mindset

Macquarie is the most entrepreneurial bank. They want people who think like investors, not just bankers.

Infrastructure/energy interest

#1 infrastructure investor globally. Show genuine sector passion.

Analytical strength

Infrastructure analysis is complex — long-dated cash flows, regulatory risk, political dynamics.

Commercial instinct

Macquarie invests its own balance sheet. They want people who understand risk and return.

Adaptability

Technical competence

Standard banking technicals plus infrastructure-specific valuation.

Tips

Macquarie Group HireVue tips

1

Macquarie's infrastructure expertise is unmatched. Know their major deals and funds.

2

The "Millionaires' Factory" nickname comes from profit sharing. Understand their comp model.

3

Australian culture is different from US/UK banks — less formal, more entrepreneurial. Show you fit.

4

Know renewable energy and infrastructure trends — ESG, energy transition, regulatory changes.

5

Macquarie invests its own balance sheet. This makes the culture fundamentally different from advisory firms.

6

Make eye contact with the camera lens, not the preview of yourself on screen. This creates the impression of confident, direct communication.

7

Keep every answer under 1 minute 50 seconds. Running out mid-sentence is one of the most common rejection reasons at this stage.
