Take the General Motors mock interviewHow the General Motors hiring process works
General Motors uses role-dependent assessments and competency interviews. Its current TRACK guidance describes a typical 60-minute interview with two business leaders and possible technical assessment. HireVue appears in older candidate reports, but the current official pages do not establish a universal HireVue or games round.
The TRACK page provides the clearest programme-specific sequence. Apply to an open requisition with the required profile and resume. If selected, use the preparation information provided by the early-career recruiting team. Expect the published interview format to be adapted to the role; technical assessment may be added. Use the recruiter’s update to confirm the decision and next steps.
The 2022 official toolkit explains how to make experience assessable. Give enough context for an interviewer outside your specialty to understand the task. Separate your own decisions and actions from the team’s wider contribution. Explain why you chose the approach and which alternatives you considered. Finish with the result and its practical impact.
About this research
- Researched questions
- 15 — 15 officially published or candidate-reported
- Typical format
- One-way video; a common setup is 30s prep + ~2 min answers. Employers configure their own timing, question count, and retakes.
- Research updated
- August 2026 · part of our evidence-labeled HireVue question bank
Best-supported scope: Entry-level, new-graduate and internship technical hiring (engineering, IT and software), where a one-way recorded HireVue interview is repeatedly reported. Experienced and senior engineering roles run a different track built around a Codility coding assessment. Skilled-trades and manufacturing hiring is undocumented and should not be seeded.
These are questions you may encounter — paraphrased from public, dated sources. No one can guarantee the exact questions in your interview, and we never claim to.
