I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Deloitte (Johannesburg)
Interview
Efficient. Single interview with HR and hiring manager, HR didn't do or say much. Questions were based on actual experience and ability to translate skills into new role. Interview process still ongoing at this time.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Deloitte in Jun 2018
Interview
Applied online and got an email from a admin/coordinator to expect a link for HireVue video interview that would be recorded. After reading HireVue terms and conditions I declined to proceed and I never heard back from the recruiter.
Think of this way—you are invited for a face to face interview and when you reach you are told that interviewers had a last minute meeting. All is still as planned, only change is that you will be given questions and your responses will be recorded. Recording will be made available to interviewers at their convenience. You are also asked to sign some privacy statements and waive your rights to the recordings.Sounds like a deposition ? Well this is what HireVue is, only difference is that you can be in this deposition from he convenience of your house and use a webcam. The recruiter gave her spiel about how it is for my own convenience etc etc My take is if a recruiter doesn't have basic courtesy to pick up the damn phone and speak to the candidate then she should get out of recruiting. For Deloitte, I get it that you want to go all digital but at he same time dont get rid of the human interaction element.
