Historical HireVue evidence
National Grid Video Interview Questions & Practice
Research verdict
- What we verified
- The readable early-careers application material contains HireVue video prompts and support information, which establishes a historical link between that recruitment process and HireVue video.
- Scope
- Former National Grid UK Early Careers material, now carried on the NESO domain.Legal entity: National Grid / NESO · Country: United Kingdom · Programme: Early Careers
- Platform named
- HireVue
- Evidence date
- No exact date — The page now sits on the careers.neso.energy domain and the original process year cannot be reliably fixed.
- Editorial review
- 2026-09-20
- What this does not prove
- That National Grid’s current recruitment uses HireVue; the content is retained on a NESO domain and cannot speak for 2026 or for every business unit.
- Limitation
- Keep it as historical employer material and distinguish National Grid from NESO; never confirm the current entity from the old link.
Verdict
Historical: early-careers material carries HireVue video guidance, now under the NESO domain.

No candidate-reported HireVue questions identified
The reviewed public material does not provide a question that can be safely attributed to a HireVue recorded round for this company and scope.
Other sourced interview material
These records come from other interview formats, general examples, or reports where the recorded HireVue round was not established. They are kept separate from candidate-reported HireVue questions.

A recorded or video-interview report where the source does not establish a HireVue recorded round.
Interview question with round unconfirmed(1)
The question is reported, but the source does not establish which interview stage it belongs to.

What this research can and cannot show
- It can show how public sources describe a company, programme, role, region, or reported round.
- It cannot prove that every role, office, programme, or recruitment cycle uses the same interview.
- It cannot reveal a private scoring model, guarantee a question, or predict a hiring outcome.
- Your current employer invitation and instructions remain the authority.
How to practise these questions
Build your own answer with a clear example, specific actions, and an outcome. Use STAR when it fits, then practise saying it naturally rather than memorising a script.

Use the mock for timed rehearsal, the employer guide for broader assessment context, and the directory to compare related companies.
