Your interviewer is trying to assess your motivation for applying for this position at their company, and how compatible a fit you feel HSBC's values are with your desired working environment. How you answer should give them insights into how productive you would be in an environment that suits you, as well as how suited your skills are to the job requirements. They are also providing you with an opportunity to convey your enthusiasm for this opportunity.

This question will help Modern Hire evaluate how confident you are that you're the right fit for this opportunity, and whether you're pursuing it for the right reasons. Your answer could reveal if you are shooting for the stars, hoping to advance your skills by learning on the job, or whether this role is a realistic target for where you are in your career. "In a tight labor market marked by skills shortages, recruiters are working extra hard to hire customer focused candidates, committed to staying on the job, and ready to positively impact outcomes on day one. With Modern Hire, financial services recruiters engage candidates' interests and identify fit and hire faster than ever, for single positions and at scale."

ModernHire uses proprietary assistive AI technology that analyzes your facial expressions, eye movements, body movements, clothing details, and vocal inflections. It evaluates those data points, examining the consistency between your answers, your level of honesty, and flags indications of your confidence in your own statements. These will then be used to determine your experience level and to predict your future job performance. That information, with the recorded interviews, is passed on the company's hiring authority for further study. However, they do clarify that "No facial recognition or other invasive, non-predictive methods" are used, so as to mitigate hiring bias.

With our AI-based hiring innovations, recruiters focus on job-relevant competencies and predictive analytics, and away from demographics and candidate resume claims, which are known to promote human bias."
