Completed a recorded one-way interview with five behavioural questions, allowing preparation time and multiple retakes. Using the STAR technique made responses clear, and the process was simple and easy to use overall.

Easy interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BHP (Brisbane) in May 2017
Interview
Online application and subsequent testing lead to a phone interview, and ultimately a place at the assessment centre. Assessment centre consisted of mini interviews (approx 10 minutes) with different managers followed by a group Q&A, as well as a separate group case study and presentation.
Very lengthy periods of time between communications from HR, with two months of silence following assessment centre before receiving rejection email.

Question 1
What's the most interesting thing you have found about BHP Billiton through your research?
The process started with an online HireVue interview consisting of several behavioural and scenario-based questions. Each question had a short preparation time followed by a timed recorded response. The questions focused on teamwork, decision-making, safety, and problem solving. The overall process felt structured and aligned with BHP’s values, particularly around safety and collaboration.
The interview is easy. Need to record videos for 6 questions. Mostly behaviour questions. Need a good camera. Be prepared with the normal interview questions. Then if succeed will preceed to the online vedio interview
