"I'm a big gamer. I especially spend a lot of time on Fortnite. My uncle taught me early on the value of having good sportsmanship. So, I earned the moniker, The Saint. I don't get caught up in any of the negative aspects of that culture. One of the things I love about it is connecting with people from different cultures around the world. It also helps me stay connected with my cousins, who live far away."

This question is an opportunity to make yourself more interesting and relatable. If all goes well, the hiring authority might see you as a more memorable candidate while reviewing all the recording interviews. But this question also tests how consistent you are throughout the interview. How consistent your interview performance is will speak to how consistent your work ethic will be while on the job. Avoid examples that contradict other answers you've provided.
For example, if you previously explained that you keep up with the latest industry news by doing nothing but reading in your spare time, and then answer this question by telling them how you love spending every minute outside of work going to clubs and watching TV, then the interviewer will question the authenticity of your previous answers throughout the interview set.

HireVue will analyze your recorded video interview for data points to predict your future job performance. They'll compare each candidate to identify the top performers and those most suited to the company's goals and culture. There are no retakes; you'll only get one opportunity to record your answers.
You'll be presented with a question on the screen and allowed roughly 20-30 seconds to prepare your response. You'll then get three minutes to record each answer. Some questions may take longer to answer than others, but you should take only as long as needed.
