If you’re invited to participate in an OnDemand digital interview, you’ll receive an email with a link to the HireVue platform. You will have 4 days to complete the interview.

Once in the tool, you’ll be greeted by a member of the Prudential team who will provide some background on the organization and some tips for acing the interview. Next, you’ll have an opportunity to test your audio, video and internet connection and complete unlimited practice questions.

Once ready, you’ll be prompted to answer a series of behavioral and some skill related questions by members of the Prudential team. You’ll record your answers, with 30 seconds to prep for each question and two minutes to respond. You can expect 4 – 8 questions, with the entire experience spanning 15 – 20 minutes.
