Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
This question aims to determine how aligned you are with their core values, mission statements, and value propositions. Convey your like-mindedness, what your skills, and your values, would lend to their company through the role you would play, "We have a variety of roles in HR, Communications, Facilities, Corporate IT, and more." Convey that it shouldn't take much time to get up to speed to start contributing to their mission. You want to convey, in principle, that you are already one of them.

What You Need to Know
HireVue claims each assessment model is built for a specific job role after following these critical steps: Ensure that there is a clear performance indicator for the job role that differentiates the strongest from the least promising performers. Ask the right questions to elicit responses that can be measured and that are pertinent to predicting job performance based on IO psychology research. Train the model to notice everything relevant in the interview (what someone says and how they say it), and build a model that uses only the data points that help predict success in the job."
