Pre-interview assessment

What is the pre-interview assessment?

• The pre-interview assessment is a short video recording you must submit as part of the application process. After submitting your online application, you will receive a link to complete your pre-interview assessment. Once a question is posed, you’ll have three minutes to prepare and up to 90 seconds to record your answer. The entire process takes less than 10 minutes. You must complete the pre-interview assessment in a single sitting within five days of submitting your online application.

How can I complete the pre-interview assessment?

• Immediately after you submit your online application, you’ll receive an email with a link to complete this step. You can also access the pre-interview assessment directly from your application portal.

I never received the link to complete my pre-interview assessment. How do I proceed?

• You can complete your pre-interview assessment through your application portal. Please log into your application portal and click the “Start Assessment” link, which will take you to the platform where you can complete your pre-interview assessment.

If I apply to more than one function, will I be required to complete a pre-interview assessment for each opportunity?

• Yes. If you apply to more than one function, you must complete a pre-interview assessment for each.

Can I retake the pre-interview assessment once I have submitted it?

• No. Unfortunately, you cannot retake the pre-interview assessment once it is submitted.

What language should I use when completing the pre-interview assessment if I applied for a role in a non-English-speaking country?

• You’ll be required to complete the pre-interview assessment in English for all opportunities in Asia Pacific except Japan. If you apply for an opportunity in Japan, you must complete the pre-interview assessment in both English and Japanese.

If I don’t complete the pre-interview assessment within the deadline, will BlackRock still consider my application?

• No. Your application is considered incomplete if you don’t submit your pre-interview assessment within the deadline, and your application will automatically be rejected.

If I don’t complete my pre-interview assessment within the deadline, can I withdraw my application and submit another?

• No. If you don’t complete your pre-interview assessment within the deadline, you cannot reapply. A withdrawn or incomplete application still counts towards your application limit. Please ensure you have the necessary infrastructure (video-enabled device and internet connection) and enough time to complete all steps of the application before applying.
