This question aims to help BlackRock recruiters identify whether you are what they would consider a serious candidate who wants to specifically work for them. They are curious about your reasons for wanting to join them (culture, career goals, environment, diversity, and inclusion). This question will also help them identify which of their recruiting efforts are more successful than others. For example, here is a testimonial from one of their returning employees: "One thing that has drawn me back to BlackRock is the fact that there are so many different opportunities to either work with other teams or to try something else or to stretch ourselves in a new way."

HireVue's proprietary machine-learning algorithms will record your video interview and analyze your facial expressions, eye movements, body movements, clothing details, and vocal inflections. Once recorded, it will evaluate those data points, studying the consistency between your answers to determine your level of honesty and indications of your confidence in your statements. These will help it predict culture fit and job performance. It will then forward its findings to BlackRock's hiring authority.

HireVue defines their algorithms as 'assessment models,' which are designed to combine "video interviews with predictive, validated IO science and artificial intelligence. HireVue augments human decision-making in the hiring process and delivers higher-quality talent, faster. HireVue Assessments take the place of the same kinds of things that a recruiter or hiring manager would be looking for in a candidate for the job you're applying for."

"I was drawn to the developmental opportunities BlackRock provides their employees and the flexibility offered to try new things. BlackRock's culture feels aligned with my values and what I am looking for. But I think the employee testimonials were the final thing that pushed BlackRock to my top choice for where I would like to expand my career, for the long term, if I am so fortunate."
