What do you consider your greatest achievement?

"At my current job, I had a client who wanted financial advice, and I met with them as their new financial planner. We created a smart portfolio and built a strong relationship based on communication and trust. Over time, we made adjustments to their portfolio. I knew they didn't have much risk tolerance and preferred safer long-game investments. I have a feel for volatility in the market, and there was one company that was a safe stock to have a lot of holding in when they first signed on, but I noticed it had some shake-ups in their executive management that concerned me. It didn't make big news, but I had a bad feeling about what I was learning and reached out to my client. It took some convincing, but we moved those investments away from that stock. Within a day, they announced even more drastic leadership changes that caused the stock to plummet. When we sold, we made quite a profit, which we invested in some stronger companies, and my client didn't lose a dime."

The HireVue algorithms are designed to remove personal bias and analyze behavioral cues after recording your interview. It is supposedly far more accurate in predicting performance than human evaluators. However, there are methods to improve your performance. You aren't fooling the algorithm; instead, you are doing everything you can to deliver a more accurate portrayal of who you are as a professional.

The algorithm will analyze your facial expressions, eye movements, body movements, clothing details, and vocal inflections. By using these data points and examining the consistency between your answers the algorithm will endeavor to determine your level of authenticity and how confident you are of your statements. However, there are mannerisms you'll need to avoid that the algorithm can easily misinterpret and could negatively affect your chances of winning an in-person interview.
