First and foremost, it is essential to project yourself as a confident and seasoned professional. Maintaining consistency is crucial, both in your responses and your overall performance in the interview. In cases where the HireVue algorithm detects a discrepancy between a candidate's non-verbal cues and their verbal communication, their body language will be considered as an indicator of their authentic feelings, intentions, and attitudes, potentially highlighting issues such as a lack of self-awareness, limited emotional intelligence, or burnout syndrome. Keep in mind that the hiring manager is your key audience, and their opinion is ultimately what counts.

"They'd say that I am knowledgeable and reliable, that I treat everyone with respect and empathy, am a friend to all, and am sincere, kind, courteous, and attentive, and always willing to help out, whether you are a customer or on my team. They'd tell you that they enjoy working with me, and that they consider me a friend. Oh, and they tell you many of my customers know me by name and ask specifically for me."

The varying advice HireVue offers candidates often contradicts itself. such as, "Ensure you are in a quiet room or area, well lit and free of distractions." And, "If you don't have a spot like that, there are technical solutions. Technology like HireVue offers a background blur, so you can blur out anything in the background that might pull the employer's attention away from you."
Recruiters tend to be distracted by a blurred background, which makes them wonder what you are trying to conceal and whether you would be prone to taking shortcuts in your work.
Push yourself a little further and get ready for your interview in advance. Seek out a peaceful area with minimal distractions. In case you're not by yourself, kindly inform others that you're starting to record your interview and request their cooperation in maintaining silence. If you can't do this, just wait for a chance to be by yourself. Don't forget, you have the ability to record your interview at any time and place.
