Has anyone ever had one? I had one with Canadian Pacific about two weeks ago called HireVue. It was different not actually speaking to someone directly. They ask you 6 questions. Mainly basic type with a few behavioral questions mixed in.

You get to practice before you do the actual interview, so that did help, but still kind of awkward not talking to someone.

Well I called HR and she said should get a another interview soon on the phone, possibly. CP has quite a long process.

I did it for the airlines (ramp agent position) and a railroad job I applied for. Same thing for both a mix of questions about myself and job abilities.

"Hirevue" is where you record your answers on your webcam.
