AI Mock Interview Practice

Yes. A HireVue invitation means a one-way video interview: you are shown a question, given a short window to prepare, then record your answer to camera with no interviewer present. That is exactly the format here. The questions differ because each employer writes their own, but the thing candidates find hardest - speaking to a camera with nobody responding - is what this practises.

Yes. Willo, Modern Hire, Spark Hire and Talview all deliver the same one-way recorded format as HireVue. Modern Hire acquired Sonru in 2020 and was itself acquired by HireVue in 2023, so an invitation naming any of those means the same exercise. They are delivery platforms rather than assessment publishers, so the employer sets the questions and the platform just records you. Practising the format transfers across all of them regardless of which one your invitation names.

No, and this is the most common mix-up with HireVue. HireVue sells two different things: the recorded video interview this page prepares you for, and a set of game-based assessments that are short puzzle tasks on a difficulty ladder. If your invitation names a game-based assessment, shows a list of games with play icons, mentions a Virtual Job Tryout or VJT, mentions CodeVue or a coding assessment, or names any of Numerosity, Shapedance, Singularity, Pathfinder, Digitspan, Flashback, Puzzle, E-Motions, Portrait, PortraitXT or Teamchat, the practice you want is at /games/hirevue. Note that one invitation often contains both: HireVue’s own white paper describes an example graduate assessment as six interview questions plus three short games in a single sitting, so it is worth checking for both rather than assuming.

Not any more. HireVue removed facial analysis from its video screening, announcing it in January 2021 and stating the feature had actually been discontinued in March 2020 after internal research found visual analysis no longer added value to the assessments. Candidates still arrive believing their expression is being scored, and it costs them: the video stage goes badly when you spend it managing your face instead of answering the question.

The sessions use behavioural interview questions in the STAR format, the same style used by KPMG, Deloitte, Amazon, PwC, and most graduate employers. Examples include "Tell me about a time you worked under pressure" and "Give an example of when you led a team." You can also choose a sector focus (engineering, finance, corporate or public sector) before you start: the session then leans toward that sector’s questions - system design, debugging and model judgement for engineering, commercial awareness for finance - and your feedback includes scores against the competencies that sector’s assessors mark, plus a model answer to your weakest question.

After you complete all 5 questions, our AI analyses each answer and scores it on clarity (how easy it is to follow), structure (whether you used a logical format), and confidence (tone and pacing). You also receive a written tip for each answer.

No. The interview runs entirely in your browser. You just need a device with a camera and microphone and a stable internet connection.

A session is only counted when you submit all 5 answers at the end. If you close the session before submitting, nothing is deducted from your interview access.

Yes. After each answer you can review your recording and choose to re-record before moving to the next question.

Interview access is a single one-time payment of £5 that unlocks up to 20 full 5-question sessions. There is no subscription and your access never expires, so you can practise whenever you have an interview coming up.
