Chicago, ILPosted Jun 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had a Hirevue as the entry point, and it was short—about ten minutes—which made it feel unusually fast-paced compared to longer video screens I’d done elsewhere.

Even though it was brief, it still pushed me to be ready to explain why I wanted the specific role and why I was targeting the firm.

I didn’t get to an offer, but the overall difficulty in my experience was high. The biggest thing I remember was how much emphasis there seemed to be on knowing what the job actually entailed, having basic technical knowledge ready to go, and being able to articulate why the role fit me. There wasn’t a lot of slack for vague answers.

Looking back, I left feeling like preparation mattered a lot—not just for technical fluency, but for having a clear narrative
