I despise HireVue. Forced myself to complete one once, but usually just pass up any company that requests that. It's the most awkward thing. I would much prefer an in-person interview, where there would be a natural flow of conversation and exchange of information....and that's coming from a socially awkward person. A phone call, even a zoom call would be preferable. I don't like video chatting, but even a zoom video call would be better than awkwardly recording myself talking one way. I just know the responses would come out wrong and it would just feel unnatural. What happened to good old fashioned social interaction? Just had to rant, sorry.

[@casscaldwellfishing]

I declined an interview due to Hirevue. I don't have a problem speaking on camera, but this process is totally impersonal, and sends negative vibes about the company right off the bat. If you don't have the time to pick up the phone to screen me, then you're not a company that I want to be a part of. Companies are losing great talent by using this software.

[@RamblingRecruiter]

A lot of people feel the way you do. I can only tell you that this is only getting more and more common. People who opt out on principle are losing out on great companies and good jobs.

@@RamblingRecruiter the thing is the HireVue sort of have become let say not looked at fondly. the whole thing have somehow ended up whit a masive case of HireVue dont put forwards the best candidates but the best liers and cheaters. why should I legit trog through a HireVue interview when I can pay a hacker 5usd to do it for me and get me on the top of the stack. the game can be easily hacked and have been, the I am more like ... two pic test I seen they been as far as I know hacked meaning I as a candidate can just ask the hacker what are company X looking for and hacker will answer they are looking for Y, and then I get the answer to get the Y result. the 30-3 min test vidoes whit Deepfake and just getting the question before(hacking) then I can do each question as many time as I wish cut and paste and then pass it like a live feed video, nervus and stutter well that can be fixed in some software and then passed throught the whole ordeal. so the question comes why should I do it legit when the person that gets put forward paid or knew how to cheat it?

[@Chspas]

@@RamblingRecruiter The opposite is true, companies are losing out on great people because they are choosing to force people through this process on principle.

[@toriduh27]

I just did an interview. I prepared answer and did research, and I still ended up being super flustered and probably answered too fast. I think this is a really unnatural way to interview. I hope the rectruiter doesnt read too much into it. it was for a fortune 500 company

[@RamblingRecruiter]

You get better at these with practice. I know it sounds weird, but try using your cell phone video camera to practice answering questions on camera. Have someone else critique them for you.

[@ModernWander]

Thank you for this video! I just had a HireVue interview this morning for a customer representative position. I followed all the ideas that you mentioned in your previous videos but I was very nervous and I'm sure the recruiter will see it on my videos.

[@RamblingRecruiter]

Good luck. You’ll do fine.

[@123clis321]

Did you get it?

[@ModernWander]

@@123clis321 yes, I was hired on spot.

[@clnan7949]

They know that you're nervous, they understand it.

[@hellencherotich7829]

Preparing for one. Thanks for your review

[@bakir.alkhateeb]

Thanks Darren for the insight. It surely helps to see the other side of the coin. I'm interested to learn more about the algorithms you've mentioned, what does it analyze and how can we score higher on that to make sure a recruiter actually sees my video. My thanks!

[@rachanapokhrel6340]

Do we get to retake the hirevue interview? If not, is there any possibility to reapply for the roles the following year and retake the hirevue interview? How does that work? Please let me know

[@itsme3346]

I have strabismus and I don't look good on camera, I got two of these interviews waiting from big4 companies but I don't feel like doing it, although I am very qualified. Also the fact that it will be kept in database bothers me. It should be like disappearing photos on Instagram, the HR should be able to watch once take notes in an hour and then done, it is already prescreening so not that important. This would be more human.

[@yutianwang5237]

Thank you so much for posting the video! Do you recommend use up all the minutes for response? For example, for a 3-minute question, is it better stop at 2 and half or stop right at 3? Will there be a half minute blank in the submitted video if I stopped at 2 and half? Thanks!

[@RamblingRecruiter]

Answers should be as long as they need to be. Don’t pad them to take up more time. If it’s 10 seconds, you might ask yourself if you included enough detail.

[@j.j.guerrieri8121]

Yeah...I won't being doing an interview like this. Christ, what happened to face to face? I have to have a video out there for someone to scrutinize over and over to be able to get a job now?

[@RamblingRecruiter]

What happened you ask? Covid happened. These were somewhat popular before, now they’re everywhere. You can’t avoid this going forward, tech will eventually take all our jobs but for now we have to work with it.

[@lf2873]

Agree what's worse I have one to do in the next 48 hours. These companies are also expecting you to do 40 aptitude questions in 15 minutes.... For me the aptitude test isn't the problem it's the time and the number of questions. I did one and only answered 30... then you start questioning your self-worth and thinking you are dumb.

[@HAY19]

Thank's a lot for the video !! So if I am reading on my screen (because by that way i can control my words..) do you think it's eliminatory? or it's depend ? And are the interviews in live with the manager sometimes? Hope you'll answer before thursday ^^

[@RamblingRecruiter]

Hirevue does offer a live interview platform but this is a critique of a pre recorded video. It’s best not to read off a paper. You won’t be looking at the camera and it’s obvious when someone is reading

[@KMaN5150]

Exactly why I will never use HireVue because some youtuber might use the video for reasons unknown.

[@RamblingRecruiter]

Unknown? Yeah how awful that someone offered to help with a subject that perplexes most people.

[@nunovurbiznis]

Can you share how your gaze is so natural on KZbin? Would love to support any affiliate links for camera, mic, teleprompter, etc. that you use.

mount everest shirt is awesome thank you for helping me prepare for a hireVue interview

[@cdcdcd6777]

great video. do you see any problem with AI recruiting process or is this the way of the future?

[@username42]

for the first question , is it good to mention the gaps due to pandemic?

[@SA-kg5nb]

Thanks for the video. I have a sit standing desk. Does it matter if I do the interview standing vs sitting? I just find I can easily speak when I'm on my feet rather than sitting down.

[@RamblingRecruiter]

A lot of people agree that they speak better standing rather than sitting. As long as it’s good for you and the bg looks good go for it. Stand away.

[@melissapetronel462]

Thanks for the video. Does Hirevue record written questions?

[@phoenix.]

This is useful and so stupid at the same time. I guess we live in a stupid world.

[@bryongliege8090]

HireVue booted me out of a job. I know for a fact that they do not have any qualified candidates on their list. The person giving me a referral knows I'm qualified. So why do they have a pool of unqualified candidates and at least one qualified candidate was booted? This is also the second time the requisition has been open due to non qualified candidate pool.

[@RamblingRecruiter]

I don’t know what you mean by booted but doesn’t sound good

[@claireonlinex]

love your intro haha very useful video

[@RamblingRecruiter]

Thanks... I appreciate you watching.

[@RamblingRecruiter]

Thanks, glad you think so.

[@cryptowodl8466]

How should I know that my insights were positive?

[@coolti44]

I just turned down an opportunity because of this soulless process. Interviews are not just about the candidate being interviewed but the candidate getting to know who they'll be working for. No thanks. If you can't give a potential candidate more than this, what else is going to be impersonal in the work center. It's lazy hiring.

[@aliciawilliam2946]

How long it takes to know if you were hired on hire interview

[@sprc155]

Thanks for the information. What can you suggest to non native English speakers with a funny accent?

[@RamblingRecruiter]

This has come up a lot. Hirevue swears their algorithms can understand you and don't make judgements based on accents. I interviewed their former CEO about 2 years ago, the video is on the channel. He dodged this question.

[@sprc155]

@@RamblingRecruiter ok thanks for the response. I gave mine a couple days ago and it was my first interview ever so i didn't feel that weird tbh. But i can understand the difference between this and a normal interview.

I gave my hirevue interview using my mobile as my laptop's webcam is not good. There was a case to solve. I took paper to write down questions as there was several questions at a time as it was a case. While answering I saw on the paper several times to see questions. Will it be okay?

[@RamblingRecruiter]

Not ideal. Good luck.

[@cynthiawanek8353]

Interviews are for both parties not just one sided. Video interview are new forms of easy discrimination. This person has a tattoo --- click next This person is black ---- click next This person has on a cross necklace --- click next This person background had a flag --- click next This person has a dog ---- click next

[@RamblingRecruiter]

You can make that exact same argument of in person interviews or phone interviews. An interviewer is only as good as they recognize their conscious and unconscious bias.

[@phillp7777]

@@RamblingRecruiter no way. if doing Hirevue type vid interv... it is only ONE way... cand has no idea or see talk hear person or employer side. op is correct TOTAL DISCRIMINATION ! bullsh*T tool companies too cheap lazzy to do even 1-1 ph interv or faceface plus will never hear back feedback from employer outcome if not chosen ! Hirevue rest of them can stick up u know where.

[@RamblingRecruiter]

Do you actually think there’s any difference with in person interviewing? Look there are good interviewers and bad ones. These complaints are just that. Any criticism of hirevue can be made of in person interviews. It’s all a matter of who’s reviewing it. Many people will look for others to blame when things don’t go their way without ever looking in the mirror. These are inescapable in the future.
