HireVue Practice

What it is

HireVue Practice: the homepage

Prepare for HireVue video interviews with employer-specific guides, mock interviews with timed answers, transcripts, and structured feedback.

Quick answers

1. Can you retake a HireVue interview?

   The employer decides whether retakes are allowed. Some setups let you re-record a single question, while redoing the whole interview after submission is rarely granted. If something breaks, email the recruiting team the same day to request a new link.

2. Does HireVue still analyse your facial expressions?

   No. HireVue removed facial analysis in March 2020 and announced the change in January 2021. Non-verbal attributes were adding only about 4 percent to predictive accuracy and raised bias concerns, so the company discontinued this feature.

3. How long do you get per question?

   Commonly about 30 seconds to prepare and read the question, then 90 seconds to three minutes to record your answer. Most interviews run 5 to 8 questions in under 20 to 30 minutes total, and HireVue advises setting aside 45 minutes. Your specific invitation will state the exact timings for your interview.

4. Is using HireVue Practice allowed?

   Yes. You can practise on HireVue Practice before the interview, and nothing from the platform runs during the actual interview. There is no extension, overlay, or anything for an employer to detect. However, tools that feed answers live during the interview are prohibited and being caught with one ends the application.

5. Does an AI score your answers?

   HireVue says its models are built per job role and analyse the content of what you say, not one general algorithm. Fortune reported that only about 20 percent of its customers used the automated predictive scoring, so a recruiter may well be the one watching. Either way, the substance of your examples is what is being read.
