QUESTION 24 OF 30

How do you define integrity?

They need to ensure that you will represent their company according to their values and code of conduct. So explore this aspect of their culture and determine what integrity means to them and how your definition aligns with theirs.

BAE Systems emphasizes that their "culture rewards integrity. Integrity demonstrates a commitment to the BAE Systems values. Strong principles and standards are the cornerstones of business conduct, expected of all our employees wherever they operate. All employees are required to comply. Accountability: we are all personally answerable for our conduct and actions. Honesty: there is no substitute for the truth. Integrity: we say what we will do, we do what we say. Openness: where questions are asked, we will be frank and straightforward in our answers. Respect: we value each individual and treat them with dignity, respect, and thoughtfulness."

HireVue will evaluate your integrity and how sincerely you seem to present your answers. They'll do this by studying your non-verbal cues, such as stroking your chin, covering your mouth or your eyes, avoiding your gaze, or nervous tics such as excessive fidgeting, restless foot and leg movements, frequent body posture changes, and grooming behaviors such as playing with hair or pressing your fingers to lips.

"I define integrity as doing what you say, meaning what you say, being clear about what you say, and standing behind what you say. In other words, follow through on your commitments and be true to your word. Make sure your word is worth something, and being transparent and truthful about what you say is just as important as anything else. Also, don't just say the right thing, but do the right thing."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

I believe integrity is being honest, following through on your word, being transparent, and having strong moral principles. Even if this means you have to do the right thing over what is easy.

Marcie's Feedback

Great! Don't forget to remind the interviewer that you personally possess integrity. Also, talk about why being filled with integrity is important to you. Including an example would also strengthen your answer.
