The video was very helpful and I landed a second interview ! I’m going to watch your other videos to get this job !!!!

[@independentconsultant]

Congrats Danielle!! 😁 I am happy I was able to help! Good luck on that second interview, nail it!!

So, did you get it? I have one of these coming up and I'm nervous af 😅

How long the results take to come after hireview interview written test?

[@wanguimbatia5023]

This presents a problem to people with mental challenges. If a person has autism for example, they might struggle to establish and maintain eye contact; are sometimes incapable of reading body cues and facial expressions; have a monotone voice; may not understand very complex questions.....the issues vary from person to person. Having an in-person interview with them might help you see past the disability and really see the person's strengths. But this system automatically disqualifies a lot of people, who by the way, make fantastic employees. I think this will increase the discrimination of the atypical community who make excellent and loyal employees but often struggle with social skills.....think about it, would this system have enabled Elon Musk to pass the interview process, or would it have automatically disqualified him because he has aspergers and possesses some of the challenges listed above.

[@mattbiss6414]

Thank you for your videos on HireView, had my first HireView interview today and your videos made me feel more prepared than ever! Keep up the good work!!

[@ReeF83]

HI Matt. Was wondering how did it go after? Were you able to pass the interview after watching this video?

[@mattbiss6414]

@@ReeF83 I didn't, but I had a real face to face interview after this and managed to secure that role :)

[@MattSezer]

I had no clue what HireVue was, but I was able to get through it to the in-person interview stage even though I didn’t think I did that well on the HireVue video interview.

[@dieglhix]

but you didnt get the job, they just did the human thing for the KPIs

[@jessepope7726]

While this may be the inevitable future of hiring, I find it rather dystopian. As many have already mentioned in the comments, there are plenty of people who will be at a disadvantage in this type of system. In addition, even if you know the means by which to "game" the system, the fact that I'm here to figure out what the AI is looking/listening for is gross. I used to consider myself a master of interviews because I was able to establish report with another human being. This system does not allow for that. There is no 2 way conversation, its just you talking to a box. A box that doesn't fundamentally understand what it is to feel and be and simply stares back at you.

[@ibyghee]

Also alot of people who will be at an advantage of this system

[@dieglhix]

it should be just banned. end of story

[@om3667]

Thanks for the tips! Do you think this is better than traditional interviews? Personally not a fan of virtual interviews

[@independentconsultant]

For some it's better, since people who live far or are in another city can interview and have the same treatment as others. And in general, companies are always looking for ways to reduce costs and hire better people so they'll be constantly looking out for new technology to achieve that. The right question is: are you willing to adapt

[@Happyfaces2121]

The video is very helpful but what questions has been asked during hirevue interview for freshers student ?

[@bulentkamali]

In procurement positions, we prefer candidates having a poker face. I wouldn't like to see a procurement professional with a genuine smile on his face when negotiating with a supplier

[@GizmoGonzo]

alright lets go i"m hyped let's get me this job right here! thanks for all the tips

[@independentconsultant]

Yesss @Gizmo! Go get it! Good luck 😁 let me know how it goes!

[@Marcin79W]

Doesn't HireVue work in favour for those who are great speaking to the camera (not so much to real people) over people who are great with face to face communication but crap at talking to an empty screen/lens?

[@thea7826]

I truly hope this goes away, because it was the worst interview experience of my life. I hated not talking to a person.

[@_elizabethliving]

If you’re using a phone make sure you turn off the data for the other apps on your phone 🙃

[@independentconsultant]

Good advice @Elizabeth!! Thanks :)

[@ONELOVE-bk7tx]

What does this mean ? What happens if I don't turn off data ? I'm not very tech savvy..

[@stevefowler2112]

Can I ask if you have any tips for passing an online multiple choice type of "personality traits" interview like Walt Disney World uses to get to the personal interview step? I worked at WDW twice before they implemented the online interview questionnaire and was always highly rated at work but I am trying to get hired back and keep failing the online questionnaire interview. One of the recruiters told me last time that my resume was incredible but i had to pass the online interview, she gave me a tip after asking if I answered neutral on any of the questions and when i said actually I did on quite few as none of the answers seemed appropriate to how I viewed the questions...she told me Oh the online test hates neutral it wants to see an answer. So perhaps that is my key...just thought you might have some further input.

[@westheguitarist8546]

Answer them as truthful as you can while matching them to the job description. Cheers!

[@stevefowler2112]

@@westheguitarist8546 Hi, well as I mentioned, I found out from an HR rep that the algorithm they use doesn't like "neutral" answers. As I am a retired Engineer with a very high IQ and outstanding reading comprehension skills, I found many of the questions to not really align well with any of the available answers so i answered the middle "neutral" on several. The next time I took the test I just eliminated the "neutral" answers and I passed.

[@user-hs2hd7wp9g]

@@stevefowler2112 Very high IQ and you went to Oregon state, something doesn't add up

[@stevefowler2112]

[@palmislandfinancial]

This is true. I saw someone mention to answer (Strongly)Agree or (Strongly)Disagree. I was the same as you with a lot of neutral responses. Bottom line is to play their game to get the job.@@stevefowler2112

[@andreaboul3]

This guy needs to broaden his horizons. So everyone needs to smile, be not boring and voice tone not "odd" or no one will hire you. Some sweeping statement.

How long hireview results take to come after written interview?

[@muhammadzuberi5876]

how they score on written questions?

[@jotttis8680]

Just because you have a Hirevue interview does not necessarily mean a robot is watching you. I know for a fact that EY has a human review all of their Hirevue interviews. At least in Canada that is.

[@gbolagadeolajide8595]

I love this video. God bless you

AI: *hi, welcome to your interview...* me: Nope.

[@independentconsultant]

😂😂 wish we could do that!

[@JG4Christ-n-Music]

@@independentconsultant you can.. just don't work for a company that cops out and uses a a.i instead of having the patience to sit down and talk, face to face with a person. We are people, not machines. A.i's are useful, yes, but not in this way.

[@independentconsultant]

@@JG4Christ-n-Music it can be true but it also depends on your goals! Maybe you REALLY want to work at that company for many reasons but it's soo competitive they have to rely on AI to get through the 1000s of applications they get every time they post a new job!

[@JG4Christ-n-Music]

@@independentconsultant Yes, it's true there are jobs out there with 1000's of people shooting for the same role and position. However, using a A.I to interview someone is a insult to regular, working people everywhere, because you are not going to end up working with a machine at the end of the day, you end up working with people. People you need to get to know on a day to day basis. It's a interesting concept, but this isn't cyberpunk 2077, this is 2020 and we are all still very human. If anything else, A.i should be used to determine whether a person is a real threat to his/her coworkers, or clients through psychological testing and evaluation, but not concerning whether the "regular joe" will get the job down the road or not, that role should still be left in the hands of hiring managers everywhere.

[@messagedeleted3526]

Which is why using this to hire UXers is faulty. How is an AI suppose to understand empathy? It doesn’t. It just reads your lips, hears your words, and hirevue creates a transcribed memo of the interview, filters out keywords and makes the grade to score you low or high. It’s lame.
