Candidates record responses to pre-set questions within time limits, and responses may be analyzed using AI for hiring decisions. Some time ago, [Accenture](https://www.accenture.com/) changed its hiring procedures to include something called a "[HireVue](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/hirevue) interview". The purpose of these [video](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/video-interview) or [one-way interviews](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/one-way-interview) is to save everyone time. You don't have to travel to an office for an in-person interview if the Accenture hiring manager has already made up their mind on another applicant. And the hiring manager doesn't have to sit through an interview with someone that clearly isn't interested in the job. So it's a win-win right? _Sort of._ [HireVue](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/hirevue) interviews can be very **stressful** for applicants since there is no live interviewer asking questions. Many applicants have told us this gives them anxiety since there is no way to know if your answers were solid or could be improved. You can gain some **confidence** before your interview by practicing for Accenture's HireVue interview on a platform like **[Voomer®](https://app.tryvoomer.com)**, where you can practice on Accenture sample questions and get instant, AI-powered feedback on your answers. Let's walk you through the Accenture HireVue interview and at the end of this article you can take a look at a few sample Accenture HireVue interview questions. Get ahead of the competition at Accenture with Voomer® ### What happens in an Accenture HireVue interview? In a HireVue interview, you'll record yourself answering questions. Those questions might be shown to you as a couple of lines of text or they might be displayed as a pre-recorded video by someone at Accenture asking you that question. Then, you'll get around 30 seconds to prepare your answer and around two minutes to answer. The number of questions varies, so be ready to answer anything from 2 to 5 questions. You can answer on your cell phone, laptop, or desktop computer - as long as it has a camera. ### Accenture's HireVue interview specifics The questions asked will be mostly behavioral ones, so make sure you are brushed up on how to answer those. The best way to answer them is via the STAR method - if you aren't familiar with how to ace every question using that method, check out the video below. [Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwN2uu9DmSE) You also want to be aware of Accenture's corporate values. You want to answer the behavioral questions on HireVue through the lens of those values. This will make the hiring manager's life very easy as they are looking for those values in every person they evaluate. You can find Accenture's current Code of Business Ethics on its [website](https://www.accenture.com/us-en/about/company/business-ethics). Also take a look at the [About Our Company](https://www.accenture.com/us-en/about/company-index) page to familiarize yourself with Accenture's corporate goals, because knowledge of those can be extremely helpful in an interview. As of 2026, Accenture publishes six core behaviors in its Code of Business Ethics. You can use these to frame your behavioral answers through the behavior that is most relevant to the story you're telling. | Value | Accenture's stated description | |---|---| | **Make your conduct count** | "Fostering respect, fairness and shared ethical values and describes behaviors that we expect from - and for - our people so that they can be at their best each day."[^accenture-values] | | **Comply with laws** | "We comply with all laws, whether local, national or regional."[^accenture-values] | | **Deliver for our clients** | "We all serve Accenture's clients, regardless of role - focusing on the best interests of our clients while acting as stewards of Accenture."[^accenture-values] | | **Protect people, information and our business** | "We work together to build a better, stronger company for future generations, protecting the Accenture brand, information, intellectual property and our people."[^accenture-values] | | **Run our business responsibly** | "We are agile, and we strive for high performance - by acting as entrepreneurs and owners of the company."[^accenture-values] | | **Be a good corporate citizen** | "We support and respect human rights, foster environmental responsibility and encourage our people's involvement in the communities where we work and live."[^accenture-values] | [^accenture-values]: Accenture, "Code of Business Ethics," https://www.accenture.com/us-en/about/company/business-ethics (accessed May 2026). ### How to prepare for Accenture's HireVue Start with what you can control. Start your interview in a place that is **quiet** - away from kids, pets, lawnmowers, etc. Not only will the person viewing your video have a hard time understanding you, loud noises right when you are about to answer a question might sap your confidence. Even though you might be at home, **dress** as if you were at an in-person interview. People viewing your answers appreciate the professionalism of someone that took the time to think about this issue and record using appropriate clothing. **Lighting** is absolutely key. If you record in an environment with low light, you'll come across as a blurry, barely recognizable mess on video - which does not help your chances of getting hired. Open your curtains to let in lots of natural light or turn on lights to brighten up the environment. When it comes to lighting, more is always better - as long as the lights aren't pointed at your camera! ### Accenture HireVue questions Below are some Accenture sample questions. * Tell me about yourself (a classic Hirevue question) * What was the toughest challenge you've faced * Tell me about a time you faced a problem with a team member * Tell me something that is not on your resume * Access more of these questions at **[Voomer®](https://app.tryvoomer.com)**! ### Train it before it counts Practice makes perfect - boost your confidence before the interview by **practicing** for your Accenture HireVue interview on a tool like **[Voomer®](https://app.tryvoomer.com)**.
