The format
What the Deloitte HireVue actually looks like
Pre-recorded video interview. Each question gets a short prep timer, then a one-take recording window. No retakes. Scored by Deloitte talent acquisition against a rubric.
Prep timer
Typically 30 seconds. Long enough to outline a STAR structure in your head, too short to write a script.
Recording
1.5 to 2 minutes per question. One take, no pauses, no edit. The platform records as soon as the prep timer ends.
Scoring
Transcript-based against six competencies. Tone and facial expression are not the primary signal; the words you say are.
Real questions
6 real Deloitte HireVue questions
Pulled from past applicants and Deloitte's published guidance. Each annotated with what they're testing for so you know how to frame the answer.
- 1
“Why Deloitte, and why this specific practice over other firms?”
Motivation
Tests whether your "why this firm" goes beyond brand recognition. Specifics about the firm, the division, recent deals.
- 2
“Tell me about a time you managed competing priorities from two stakeholders under a tight deadline.”
Behavioural
STAR structure expected. Specific situation, your role, the action you took, the measurable result.
- 3
“Walk me through your resume, highlighting the key inflection points.”
CV walkthrough
Two-minute version of your CV that connects every role back to why this firm. Practise the narrative thread.
- 4
“Identify a macroeconomic trend disrupting a US sector and frame the top risk and opportunity.”
Role knowledge
Tests whether you understand what the role actually does day-to-day. Vague answers fail.
- 5
“Walk me through how a $100M depreciation expense flows through the three financial statements. (DCF track)”
CV walkthrough
Two-minute version of your CV that connects every role back to why this firm. Practise the narrative thread.
- 6
“Estimate the total annual revenue of all public transit parking structures in Chicago. Walk through your assumptions.”
Role knowledge
Tests whether you understand what the role actually does day-to-day. Vague answers fail.

What gets you through
Five moves that decide the HireVue
- 01STAR every behavioural. Situation in one sentence, task in one, action in three, result with a number. The structure is the score.
- 02Cut filler words ruthlessly. Three filler words ("um", "you know", "sort of") drops your confidence score by ~6 points. Record yourself, count them, stop them.
- 03Use specific numbers. "Led a team" is filler. "Led a 6-person team that delivered £400k of revenue" is signal. Every behavioural needs at least one quantified outcome.
- 04Reference Deloitte concretely. For motivation questions, name a specific deal, a person you spoke to, a division you researched. Generic "I admire the brand" answers are the modal failure mode.
- 05Practise on camera, not in your head. Reading answers to yourself is not the same as recording them. Filler words, eye-line, pacing: all only show up when the camera is on.
FAQ
Deloitte HireVue questions, answered
Aim for 90 seconds to 2 minutes. The recording window is usually 2 minutes; leaving 5-10 seconds unused looks more deliberate than racing to the buzzer.
The other rounds
The rest of the Deloitte process
HireVue is one of four rounds. The Pack covers all four end to end.
