Use the employer’s instructions as your starting point
HireVue’s candidate guidance distinguishes on-demand recorded interviews from live conversations. Your invitation is the place to confirm the format, deadline and requirements. Use the available practice questions to get comfortable with the recording flow. Do not assume the preparation time, answer limit or number of attempts will be the same across employers.
Prepare a simple recording routine
- Check your camera and microphone and test the room you plan to use.
- Choose examples for the responsibilities in the job description.
- Use preparation time for a few keywords: main point, action, result.
- Practise finishing your answer within the limit stated in your instructions.
