How would you feel about working in a different position in the company?
Don't let this question catch you off guard. PwC advertises that they will look at your skills and what you have to offer as a whole, not just the position you are applying for. "When assessing your application, we'll also be considering if your skills are suitable for other parts of our business and, where appropriate, discuss other opportunities." How you respond could reveal the extent to which you prepared for your interview with them and whether you discovered this on their website. Also, how you respond could inform them of how invested you are in an opportunity with PwC or if this job just seemed suitable for your skills right now. So be sure to thoroughly research all aspects of the company and come prepared to answer any question they throw your way.
PwC states on their website that they "use various methods to assess candidates during our recruitment process. Each candidate who applies for a role will offer a unique set of skills, experience, and characteristics. If we identify key abilities required for a role, we can introduce different tools into the process to measure these abilities. All candidates for the role can then be compared in terms of the level of skill they demonstrate in the assessment."
HireVue uses proprietary machine learning algorithms to record your video interview and analyze varying data points to determine your experience level and predict your future job performance. That information, with the recorded interviews, is passed on to the company's hiring authority for further study. It will analyze your level of honesty based on the consistency of your answers, vocal inflections, eye movements, facial expressions, posture, and clues of your confidence in your statements and if you truly believe in what you are saying. There are a few different approaches they use for their questions as well. For example, they state, "Common types of questions you'll see in a video-based assessment are situational judgment questions. You'll be asked what actions to take when confronted with a hypothetical situation."
"I've done a good share of research on the available positions, and the one I applied for seemed like a good fit. But I would be open to exploring any opportunities PwC has to offer."
