Candidates record responses to pre-set questions within time limits, and responses may be analyzed using AI for hiring decisions. Some time ago, [Wells Fargo](https://www.wellsfargo.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 Wells Fargo 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 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 Wells Fargo's HireVue interview on a platform like **[Voomer®](https://app.tryvoomer.com)**, where you can practice on Wells Fargo sample questions and get instant, AI-powered feedback on your answers. Let's walk you through the Wells Fargo HireVue interview and at the end of this article you can take a look at a few sample Wells Fargo HireVue interview questions. Get ahead of the competition at Wells Fargo with Voomer® ### What happens in a Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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. ### Wells Fargo'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 Wells Fargo'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 Wells Fargo's "Company Expectations," the set of principles that anchor its culture, on its [culture page](https://www.wellsfargojobs.com/en/life-at-wells-fargo/culture/). Also take a look at their website to familiarize yourself with [Wells Fargo's history](https://www.wellsfargohistory.com/) and corporate goals, because knowledge of those can be extremely helpful in an interview. As of 2026, Wells Fargo publishes five Company Expectations that "apply to every single employee at every level and in every role," plus a sixth that applies to managers. You can use these to frame your behavioral answers through the expectation that is most relevant to the story you're telling. | Company Expectation | Wells Fargo's stated description | |---|---| | **Embrace Candor** | "Share clear, honest, direct feedback individually with your colleagues and in meetings so they are as productive as possible."[^wf-values] | | **Do What's Right** | "Set high standards for how you treat colleagues, customers, and clients. If you see a problem, take ownership or get support to make things right."[^wf-values] | | **Be Great at Execution** | "Be clear about goals, track and report on them, and deliver a quality product on time. Use data to make decisions."[^wf-values] | | **Learn and Grow** | "Embrace challenges with enthusiasm. Be tenacious in overcoming obstacles. Ask others for feedback; dedicate the time and effort to learn and grow."[^wf-values] | | **Champion Inclusion** | "Contribute to a productive, engaged, and inclusive environment that values and respects differences. Engage with everyone in a way that builds trust and understanding."[^wf-values] | | **Build High-Performing Teams** (for managers) | "Attract and retain the best talent. Communicate a clear vision that engages and inspires. Set high expectations and support your team in accomplishing them."[^wf-values] | Wells Fargo states that these Company Expectations "guide how employees conduct themselves, work with colleagues, and make decisions."[^wf-values] If you can naturally reference how your decisions and actions have aligned with these expectations during an answer, it will help to set you apart.

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