BlackRock HireVue Mock Interview

On HireVue's website, candidates are offered the following advice: "Maximize your comfort level and share your experiences and skills as naturally as possible. This is an opportunity to share your story as a candidate. All candidates applying to a position will receive the same set of questions, selected by the hiring company. Additionally, HireVue takes measures to prevent candidates from seeing these interview questions before they are taking an interview. These measures ensure that each candidate has the same amount of time to review the questions, and prepare their responses, giving all candidates the same interview experience and an equal shot at putting their best foot forward."

The algorithm will analyze your verbal and nonverbal cues, such as placing stress or emphasis on certain words, stuttering, or taking long pauses. Try to be mindful of your facial expressions. When concentrating, avoid furrowing your eyebrows, as it could be misinterpreted by the algorithm. If you are unsure how to answer, avoid placing your hands on your neck, folding your arms, or slouching. Maintain eye contact with the camera when possible, and maintain good posture.

"I do so by listening to myself. It may sound cliche, but there is a balance you have to strike with your mind, body, and spirit. And if you start to feel off balance in any way, it's time to listen. If this happens, I'll do myself some form of kindness that addresses all three, like go for a bike ride in the forest or treat myself to sushi. I just listen to myself and treat myself well. As a result, I would say that I am generally a pretty well-rounded individual."
