Hi, and welcome to an introduction of HireVue. I’m Matt and I’m here to give you a few pointers today.
First of all, we do realize that a video interview may not be the most comfortable thing for some of you.
But using video interviews as a part of our application process
has allowed us to consider a lot more applicants for each position.
Next, you’ll need a laptop or a desktop with a camera.
We know that if can be difficult to act like yourself in front of the camera
so don’t worry we’re not evaluating your stage presence, although, a little personality can go a long way.
🎵I work real hard and I’m smart too🎵
Maybe I should emphasize - a little personality goes a long way.
But make yourself at home, get comfortable, shouldn’t be too hard because most likely you’re at home already.
And please don’t feel like you have to make eye contact with the camera the entire time.
I know that you’re supposed to make eye contact with your interviewer,
but in this case, not breaking eye contact with the webcam, it just makes things a little weird.
Feel free to let your eyeballs breathe and check your notes if you need to.
Also make sure you go through their practice questions ahead of time
so that you can know what the process will feel like.
If you do that, you’ll know that you only have 30 seconds to review the question before your camera starts recording.
Then you have three minutes to answer, don't feel like you have to use all three minutes -
just move on to the next question when you’re done.
So I know it’s a video interview but just treat it like a regular interview
and find a quiet place that’s free of distractions
Dress the part.
For Bamboo, that means not too formal, but not too cas’.
You can leave the tie in the closet,
but don’t leave everything in the closet.
And last, but not least, have some fun with it.
Like I said, a little personality goes a long way.
Oh man, that is such a good question. That i-, I mean, wow.
That is such a good, it’s it’s, I mean, oh my gosh, it’s a great question.
Uhhhhhhhh
