Separate reported internship tests from the skills and interview preparation relevant to HESTA’s current professional roles.
By the Game Assessment Prep research teamUpdated September 14, 2026How we research
The specific psychometric evidence is the 2024 investment-intern account. It names personality and logical aptitude tests without identifying their design. No sourced game names or exact simulator match can be provided from that account.
HESTA’s employment pages concern careers working for the superannuation fund. They are different from its member and employer-account services. Choose the job listing and team before interpreting any assessment advice.
The public record has a useful but limited distinction: current official adverts explain professional responsibilities, while dated candidate accounts describe particular interview experiences. Combining those into one supposedly mandatory HESTA test would overstate the evidence.
HESTA’s Exposure Management analyst advert describes portfolio monitoring, research, governance and investment execution, including listed-asset exposure and risks. This is professional role evidence, not the selection format for an internship.

The careers page identifies separate talent communities for investments, projects/business analysis, technology/digital and other functions. Registering interest is different from applying to a particular vacancy.

A candidate who interviewed in Melbourne in November 2024 reported video interviewing, personality and logic assessment, and a final interview. The report does not name a provider.

The official careers and vacancy pages reviewed do not set out a shared test battery or identify HireVue, SHL, Criteria or another assessment supplier. That leaves the product unconfirmed rather than proving assessments are absent.
A June 2025 analyst report describes an HR phone discussion about education, experience and role requirements. Treat that as one applicant’s experience.
The Third Party Security Lead role includes security assessments, control reviews and assurance. Those are work responsibilities; the advert does not identify them as candidate tests.
HESTA’s careers page invites applicants to discuss reasonable adjustments during application and recruitment with its Talent team. Establish any required format changes before the relevant stage.

HESTA’s vacancy portal is the starting point for current recruitment; detailed selection stages remain attached to the role.

There is no reliable central completion time for every HESTA vacancy. Track the advertisement and each invitation independently.

Use the role’s actual work to choose practice tasks. These suggestions are independent preparation, not claims about questions HESTA will ask.
Prepare one example where a technical or operational improvement mattered to the people served. Explain the impact in plain language, including how you balanced timeliness, quality and trust.
Use a public dataset or your own nonconfidential example to describe an exposure, the relevant risk and a monitoring approach. Separate what the figures show from your assumptions and explain what would change your recommendation.
Work through an invented supplier-control finding: evidence, severity, business impact, remediation owner and follow-up. Practice a short explanation for a nontechnical stakeholder as well as a deeper technical version.
Choose a case where stakeholders wanted different outcomes. Describe how you clarified requirements, handled a change and checked whether the delivered result solved the problem.
If logic tests are named, inspect their examples before selecting timed practice. If a personality questionnaire is included, answer from your usual working behavior. For interviews, rehearse concise evidence rather than memorized claims about culture.
One November 2024 investment-intern applicant reported personality and logical aptitude tests. The official pages reviewed do not establish a mandatory battery for all applicants.
No provider was confirmed in the reviewed evidence. Check the invitation before choosing product-specific practice.
It is useful background only. An experienced vacancy has its own requirements and may use a different selection process.
Be ready to explain a decision relevant to the role, the evidence you used and its outcome. Investment, security and project roles call for different examples.
HESTA publishes Talent team support for reasonable adjustments. Use that process early enough to settle the interview or test arrangements.
