Why are you currently looking for employment?

This question may seem generic, but it is, in fact, company-specific. When researching their website, try to identify the answer they are looking for with this question. "You may not always be sure when, or how, to make your next career move, whether that means switching to a different team, advancing beyond your current position, or both. But you do know when it's time for a change, usually once you've outgrown a job. And that's why your next steps can be crucial to establishing an exciting long-term career. Once you discover that next opportunity, you want to ensure it's taking you in the right direction." Remember, they are looking for a candidate who is an ideal match for their culture and values.

Any of HireVue's clients can request varying services, from aptitude assessments to on-demand interviews customized to them. Some companies request only the recorded videos and no assessment reports. Some request the report, while others request screening and only receive the interviews that pass the algorithm's evaluations as potential top performers. Regardless of what package BlackRock has signed up for, HireVue's assessment aims to identify those candidates which BlackRock would consider top performers who are also most suited for the company's culture. So, once their hiring authority receives the materials, they can view the candidates' "virtual cover letters" side by side for further comparison and evaluation.

"It was simply time for a change. I am grateful for what my current employer has given me through my training and experiences and the relationships I've built. However, I feel a bit stagnant and haven't been challenged in the last year. I want to keep growing and advance into a leadership position, but the opportunity isn't there."
