BlackRock video interview questions

How BlackRock describes its process

• The pre-interview assessment requires applicants to record their answers.
• Applications are not considered unless the pre-interview assessment is completed.
• Subsequent interviews focus on the BlackRock Principles, applicants’ experience or their capabilities.

How to practise for BlackRock video interviews

• Prepare a clear answer on what motivates you, and connect it to work in markets or asset management.
• Pick one recent global market event, understand what caused it, and practise explaining its implications for individuals and businesses.
• Refresh the macroeconomic indicators you can cite — interest rates, inflation, growth — and be ready to say how they affect markets.
• For quantitative or data-led roles, rehearse an example of a decision you made using data, showing your method.
• Practise aloud against a timer, keeping each recorded answer under two minutes with a clear structure.

Questions candidates ask

What kind of questions come up in BlackRock video interviews?

Our BlackRock pack includes questions such as 'What makes you feel motivated? What drives you?' and 'Please discuss a recent global market event and its implications on individuals or businesses.' Recurring themes are motivation, market awareness, macroeconomic indicators, quantitative finance and data-driven decisions.

How should I structure my answers for BlackRock video interviews?

Open with a direct answer, then support it with one specific example or market event and explain its implications. For market questions, state the event, what caused it, and the effect on individuals or businesses. Keep answers under two minutes, and record yourself to check pace and clarity.

Which BlackRock pack should I start with?

BlackRock has a single video interview pack here, so start with that. Work through it in order, or begin with the themes you feel least prepared on — motivation, market awareness, macroeconomic indicators, quantitative finance or data-driven decisions — and return to the rest before you record.
