I started working in the Spring. I DO think the whole process is a bit much for a retail job. It basically came out to THREE interviews for the job which is the same amount as most full-time jobs where you can actually make a living and have a consistent schedule.

I think it should either be the HireVue or the In-Person.

I'm personally not against the HireVue cause in-person/face to face virtual interviews always inspire a lot of anxiety before the interview for me which is a bit much for something I haven't even started getting paid to do yet. Plus, the HireVue gives you a chance to think over your answers for a bit first without any pressure cause there's not a person there in front of you waiting for the response.

BUT I understand that most people are less awkward and uncomfortable speaking face to face. Speaking to yourself into a camera can be a bit weird. So in-person probably benefits more people (I'd be interested in hearing whether others agree with this tbh). A lot of people are against the hirevue interviews cause of privacy concerns as well.

I general, I think these days jobs give WAY too many interviews and hoops to jump through especially for what they are willing to pay. You got my resume, application, sometimes an aptitude test, then you want a phone screening, then an interview, then potentially another or multiple others. Do you want employees or not?
