I just got a HireVue interview sent to me by UnitedHealth Group Optum. I’m old and never had to do one of these before. Any insights into questions that are typically asked or what I should look out for?

It feels impersonal for the level of the role (Senior Director), but I guess I’m just a boomer 🤷‍♂️.

I think you get a minute to do a high level overview about yourself, then some basic questions like “tell me about a time when you disagreed with a teammate”, “what is your ideal work environment?”, “what kind of manager are you?”. Then maybe another minute to fill in anything you think is important.

I believe you can practice a couple questions beforehand too, so don’t stress about it too much.

I left Optum recently but was there for 3 years. Nothing but great experiences for me, just wish they paid a little better 🤷‍♂️ cool work, great team, excellent WLB, just a little low for pay.

I had to do one with CVS. The questions were standard behavioral questions. Also, the system usually gives you some practice time/questions before you officially submit your responses.

Hope this helps!

The hirevue was very simple. I believe you have 4 attempts to record your answer. I have done two of them and each one was very easy. Don’t stress over it : )

It’s standard protocol. Optum’s hiring practices are dumb and outdated. Just do it. I had to do a one way video interview.

Questions are standard.

I’m no longer at Optum but use to co-lead our academic recruiting process for a sister company. A little surprised you have to go through the HireVue process... thought it was just for the youngins… I didn’t even have to go through that when I was hired as a Senior Consultant a few years ago. Questions range from, tell me about yourself, why are you interested in us, tell me about a time when you had to work on a difficult project, tell me about your qual/quant experience. Questions may differ for the senior director position though.

They tried to down level me to Director and couldn’t come close on salary, so I stopped the interview process after 3 virtual interviews + HireVue. It was an overly drawn out process, and they didn’t tell me they couldn’t meet my salary until the last stage so it left a bad taste in my mouth. YMMV, but they did a case in all 3 virtual interviews plus typical behavioral questions.

Everyone has to do it. I stumbled and froze, yet was still moved on to an interview. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.

McKinsey & Company fish - I had previously interviewed about a year ago for an associate role but didn’t make it past the second round. However, the recruiter liked me and told me to reach out after about a year if I wanted to restart the interview process. I’ve sent an email but It looks like they are no longer with the firm based on LinkedIn. Is my best option at this point to find another consultant to refer me or is there someone else I could contact?

Will McKinsey & Company have a case interview portion during the recruiter screening for an Associate-level opening. This is my first interview with them.
The recruiter mentioned that it will only be an audio (Zoom) call, not a video interview. I sort of assumed that there won't be a case interview portion because it is an audio interview with the recruiter. Is my assumption true? I don't want to ask the recruiter with the interview coming up in the next 2-3 days, as it might set a bad opinion.
