Why should we hire you?
HireVue aims to help its clients find a top performer who shares the company's values and has the soft skills to work well with their teams. Therefore, many of the questions the assessment model will pose will be framed as behavioral questions. How comfortable you seem answering these questions will help the algorithm categorize your experience, skill level, and emotional intelligence. The more prepared you are for each question, the more confident you'll come across. So spend ample time identifying everything they are looking for in their candidate to be in the position of seeming thoroughly prepared and within your comfort zone. Explore their careers site and online presence, which cater to their customers.
How you answer this question will tell the assessment model whether you identified the defining characteristics of their model employees. Such statements can be found in the value propositions on their customer website and careers website. Your aim should be to align your unique qualities with those of their model employees. You ultimately want to convey that you've identified the potential of entering into a professional partnership with this company as a mutually beneficial fit.
