Virtual Cover Letter Hirevue, recording 2 questions. In retrospect, this is something that you must nail to get through as it is likely a stage where most candidates are eliminated.
I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in Sep 2025
Interview
Industry standard entry level hirevue, nothing special really, just prepare and read up on recent stories and have a valid reason you want to work at the firm. Got ghosted but probably due to lack of past experience rather than interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe an industry related news story that you found interesting and why.
3 questions about yourself and Blackrock. Hirevue is something to get used to and no one is going to be good at them without practise. Try speak slowly and clearly as that will score the best.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in Sep 2023
Interview
consisted of two questions , why blackrock and tell us something that is not on your cv. The questions were fairly general , but maybe you have to think more about what is not on your cv as most of us would only put the most concentrated achievements on it.
