How do I practise for a HireVue video interview?

Practise with the same constraints as the real one-way interview: camera and microphone on, timed preparation, timed answer delivery, no assumption of retakes, and a clear answer structure.

Does Prepwise record the video locally?

Yes. Prepwise records locally in the browser for practice replay or download. The clip is not uploaded for feedback; feedback uses transcript or answer text.

How many questions are in the Prepwise interview rehearsal?

The default rehearsal uses four questions, two minutes of preparation and three minutes of answer time, with a break between questions. Employers can vary timing and question count.

Video interview practice

Practise HireVue video interviews before the real assessment.

Prepwise helps you rehearse the one-way interview flow: camera and microphone check, preparation time, answer timer, local recording, replay/download and transcript-based feedback.

Quick answer: the most useful preparation is to practise out loud under the same constraints: camera on, timer visible, one question at a time, and no assumption that you can re-record in the real interview.

Real device check

Before the interview flow, Prepwise asks for webcam and microphone permission and shows a real video preview plus mic input level.

Timed delivery

The standard Prepwise flow is four questions, two minutes to prepare and three minutes to answer, with breaks between questions.

Feedback without uploading video

Your practice clip stays local. Feedback is based on the transcript or answer text you provide, with uncertainty clearly flagged.

What to rehearse

A 30-second opening that answers the question directly.
A STAR-style example: Situation, Task, Action, Result.
One sentence connecting the example to the role or employer context.
A shorter 90-second version in case your real answer time is tighter.

Prepwise is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to HireVue or any employer. Questions are practice prompts; exact interview questions vary by company, position and year.
