Stop using hirevue!! I don’t see how picking one photo over another (108 times!) tells you anything about how I function as an employee. Apart from that the system was okay but it really put me off progressing further
I first had a phone screening that asked me some basic technical questions like “When would you choose to use Python over C++ for a project?” or “Can you explain what inheritance is in object-oriented programming?”
Afterwards, like two weeks later, I had an in-person panel interview with 6 people where I had to make a PowerPoint about myself and answer behavioral questions, everyone was very welcoming and the interview went really well but I was ghosted after that and no emails were responded to.
Online hirevue behavioural questions followed by a psychometric online assessment. OA was fairly simple and included the typical questions like verbal and arithmatic reasoning. Spot the different shapes and patterns was a bit difficult
Upon being successful from the application form, you have to complete a one way online interview which includes 4 STAR based questions, and 3 game based assessments which are designed to get an idea of how your brain works and what type of personality you have.
