Published 2021-07-12 by Patrick Lemouche on [the Voomer® blog](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog). Over the last few years, [United Healthcare](https://www.uhc.com/) has been using [HireVue](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/hirevue) to screen and hire thousands of applicants for its job openings. The [HireVue](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/hirevue) is one of the first knockout stages on your road to a job at United Healthcare, so acing this stage is critical for your success. United Healthcare uses Hirevue as part of its hiring process. We'll discuss many United Healthcare HireVue specifics and how to prep for the interview. You can also start practicing on a platform like **[Voomer®](https://app.tryvoomer.com)**, where you can answer past and present questions in an environment that looks and feels a lot like HireVue's so you can feel confident on the big day. You'll also receive AI-powered feedback on your answers to set you apart from the crowd. ### United Healthcare HireVue interview - what to expect HireVue interviews are interviews where the questions are decoupled from the answers. Simply put - you'll be shown a pre-recorded question and you have to record yourself answering the question. The process is relatively straightforward, you'll receive a link to your interview via email, which can be opened at any time before the deadline. Click on the link, and start your interview when you are ready. After some introductory videos, you'll be shown your first question. That will start a "prep timer", where you'll usually have around 30 seconds to prepare an answer to the question displayed. After the prep timer winds down to zero - or if you choose to skip the prep time altogether - you'll have between 2 to 3 minutes to answer. During that time, you'll be recorded on video and audio. This process will repeat itself over and over until there are no more questions to be asked. United Healthcare's HireVue interview usually has only 3 to 5 questions. Most people are done with the interview in 25 minutes. ### United Healthcare HireVue interview specifics Before you start answering United Healthcare's HireVue interview questions, think about what they want to hear. When companies interview someone, one of the things they are trying to do is figure out if you'll be a good match. The way HR does this is by listening to your answers and comparing them to company values. If your answers and the company's values align, then the odds of you getting invited to the next step in the hiring process are much higher. You also want to be aware of UnitedHealth Group'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 UnitedHealth Group's corporate values on its [Mission and Values page](https://www.unitedhealthgroup.com/uhg/mission-values.html). Also take a look at their website to familiarize yourself with [UnitedHealth Group's history](https://www.unitedhealthgroup.com/uhg/about/history.html) and corporate goals, because knowledge of those can be extremely helpful in an interview. As of 2026, UnitedHealth Group publishes six corporate values. You can use these to frame your behavioral answers through the value that is most relevant to the story you're telling. | Value | UnitedHealth Group's stated description | |---|---| | **Integrity** | "We do the right thing and follow through on our commitments."[^uhc-values] | | **Compassion** | "We listen, advocate and act with urgency for each other and those we serve."[^uhc-values] | | **Inclusion** | "We welcome, value, hear and respect all voices and diverse points of view."[^uhc-values] | | **Relationships** | "We work together to deepen connections and collaboration for better outcomes."[^uhc-values] | | **Innovation** | "We invent a better future by learning from the past."[^uhc-values] | | **Performance** | "We strive for high quality results in everything we do."[^uhc-values] | UnitedHealth Group states that its mission is to "Help people live healthier lives and help make the health system work better for everyone."[^uhc-values] If you can naturally reference how your decisions and actions have aligned with that mission during an answer, it will help to set you apart.
