HireVue - appears to be interview scored by AI?!

Relatively early in my job search, I’ve been invited to interview with what seems to be an AI program that will record and score my answers to interview questions. No human interviewer on the other end.

I’ve never encountered this before - I feel a little offended. Is this the new normal, and do I just need to get used to my new AI overlords? Or should I skip this invitation?

Personal opinion but I really don’t like HireVue, I believe if candidates are dedicating their time to interview they deserve to talk to a human and ask questions too. Also how nerve wracking and awkward are one-way interviews?

However, if you like the company I would still stick it out and do it anyways. The company I interviewed turned out to be nice, although perhaps a bit misguided on what makes a good candidate experience 😅

Hirevue has been in use for a lot of large companies for a long time. Treat it like a live interview and it will be fine. Follow the instructions and dress properly. It’s just one of many assessment tools recruiters use.

Thank for the thoughts on this question. I did end up completing the HireVue interview, mostly out of curiosity. The questions I was asked were worded very poorly and fully of grammatical errors, and this format left me without a lot of context for what they were looking for in my responses. I'm not sure whether these were default questions or submitted by the hiring company, but the experience left me with a negative opinion of the company overall. I'm contemplating whether to withdraw from consideration altogether, since the job and company just seemed OK from what I have read, nothing stellar.

With HireVue, I have an invite however, it says that it will be conducted by a senior manager … how does that work

🐠, need opinions/advice. Persistent recruiter asked me to consider having an exploratory convo with a company for a VP role even though I’m not looking to make a switch. That casual convo has morphed into two interviews this week, one with an SVP and EVP and one with the global head of the practice. It would be a $65k bump in salary. Worth going through with it? Should I mention that I’m not actively looking to leave my current job? Been here 6 months…
