Candidates record responses to pre-set questions within time limits, and responses may be analyzed using AI for hiring decisions. Some time ago, [Akuna Capital](https://akunacapital.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 Akuna Capital 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.

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 Akuna Capital 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. ### Akuna Capital'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.

You want to answer the behavioral questions on HireVue through the lens of those themes. You can find Akuna's positioning on the [Who We Are page](https://akunacapital.com/who-we-are/). Akuna Capital does not publish a discrete numbered corporate-values list. The firm anchors its culture to a metaphor, the meaning of its name, and a small set of themes the careers content emphasizes: > "The name 'Akuna' derives from the Australian Aboriginal word meaning 'flowing water'. This concept remains core to our firm and all that we do. Not only do we provide liquidity to the markets, but we are committed to rapid innovation through new technologies, the collaborative flow of knowledge, and a thirst for individual growth and opportunity."[^akuna-who] The themes Akuna repeats across its careers pages, treat each as a thematic value a hiring manager will be listening for: | Theme | Akuna's stated framing | |---|---| | **Rapid innovation** | "Committed to rapid innovation through new technologies."[^akuna-who] | | **Collaborative flow of knowledge** | "The collaborative flow of knowledge", paralleling the firm's "flowing water" name origin.[^akuna-who] | | **Individual growth** | "A thirst for individual growth and opportunity."[^akuna-who] | | **Meaningful impact and a desire to win** | "If you're passionate about innovation, committed to making a meaningful impact, and have a desire to win, we encourage you to explore our open roles."[^akuna-who] | Bring stories that demonstrate moving fast on a technology improvement, freely sharing knowledge with a teammate who needed it, taking ownership of your own growth in a new area, and competing hard to win a measurable outcome.

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! ### Akuna Capital HireVue interview questions Below are some Akuna Capital 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)**! ### Trade reps for confidence Practice makes perfect - boost your confidence before the interview by **practicing** for your Akuna Capital HireVue interview on a tool like **[Voomer®](https://app.tryvoomer.com)**.
