Try a KPMG HireVue question

KPMG's HireVue is often described by candidates as the most "human" of the Big 4 video interviews — and that's deliberate. KPMG's scoring weights personality, authenticity, and communication warmth more explicitly than Deloitte or PwC. Their questions blend competency with strengths, but KPMG puts particular emphasis on "client curiosity" — they want evidence you're genuinely interested in understanding business problems, not just solving them. KPMG's smaller graduate intake relative to Deloitte means each video receives proportionally more review time.
