No, but this looks like more of an asset management or other buy-side-type role. Which is fine, but it may not be exactly what you want. Resumes are still usually screened by a mix of humans and automated services. So it could be a good sign, but you need to see how the rest of the process goes first. Everything about HireVue here still applies. Expect more markets-based questions for this type of role.

I am asking because I got a HireVue invitation for one of their roles. It’s in the “Investing” category though (https://hdpc.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1/job/87565/?utm_medium=jobshare), not in the “Investment Banking/Financial Modeling” category. Do you think that it’s a good sign that my resume may have passed a human screen instead of an algo, or not really? Also, I figure most advice here on HireVue would still apply, but I am just wondering if there is anything else that I ought to be mindful of. Thanks!

No, probably not, because HireVue questions tend to generic fit/behavioral questions, and no paying customers have really asked for them.

Do you have any plans to add a Hirevue guide/question bank to your BIWS courses? It would be incredibly helpful…

It’s fine to finish in 1 minute.

I don’t really think so – for one thing, it’s not clear how much banks actually pay attention to HireVue interviews. Many bankers are multi-tasking and looking at 5 different windows while they’re “reviewing” these recorded interviews. But if they know your name and have spoken with you before, that will still give you an advantage even if your HireVue was mediocre. People still refer others they know, like, and trust… technology doesn’t change the referral process.

Networking is networking regardless of location. Still use LinkedIn/the alumni network to find people, guess their email addresses, and email them to set up informational interviews.

The only difference is that it’s harder to conduct weekend trips if you’re that far away, but they’re not completely necessary if you’re beyond the undergraduate level.

Otherwise, all the networking tutorials on this site (https://mergersandinquisitions.com/investment-banking/recruitment/networking/) still apply.

It helps to point to a specific connection to the place you’re moving to, as sometimes people will not take you seriously unless you can point to family/friends/interests/previous history/some other reason why you want to be there.

This comes up all the time in places like Houston, where bankers are often skeptical about your interest unless you have connections there already.
