Candidates record responses to pre-set questions within time limits, and responses may be analyzed using AI for hiring decisions. Some time ago, [Delta Airlines](https://www.delta.com/) changed its hiring procedures to include something called a "[HireVue](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/hirevue) interview". The purpose of these [video](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/video-interview) or [one-way interviews](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/one-way-interview) is to save everyone time. You don't have to travel to an office for an in-person interview if the Delta Airlines hiring manager has already made up their mind on another applicant. And the hiring manager doesn't have to sit through an interview with someone that clearly isn't interested in the job. So it's a win-win right? _Sort of._ HireVue interviews can be very **stressful** for applicants since there is no live interviewer asking questions. Many applicants have told us this gives them anxiety since there is no way to know if your answers were solid or could be improved. You can gain some **confidence** before your interview by practicing for Delta's HireVue interview on a platform like **[Voomer®](https://app.tryvoomer.com)**, where you can practice on Delta sample questions and get instant, AI-powered feedback on your answers. Let's walk you through the Delta HireVue interview and at the end of this article you can take a look at a few sample Delta HireVue interview questions. Get ahead of the competition at Delta with Voomer® ### What happens in a Delta HireVue interview? In a HireVue interview, you'll record yourself answering questions. Those questions might be shown to you as a couple of lines of text or they might be displayed as a pre-recorded video by someone at Delta asking you that question. Then, you'll get around 30 seconds to prepare your answer and around two minutes to answer. The number of questions varies, so be ready to answer anything from 2 to 5 questions. You can answer on your cell phone, laptop, or desktop computer - as long as it has a camera. ### Delta's HireVue interview specifics The questions asked will be mostly behavioral ones, so make sure you are brushed up on how to answer those. The best way to answer them is via the STAR method - if you aren't familiar with how to ace every question using that method, check out the video below. [Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwN2uu9DmSE) You also want to be aware of Delta's core values. You want to answer the behavioral questions on HireVue through the lens of those values. This will make the hiring manager's life very easy as they are looking for those values in every person they evaluate. You can find Delta's four core values on the Delta [ESG Hub People page](https://esghub.delta.com/content/esg/en/2024/people.html), part of the Delta Difference report. Also take a look at Delta's [About Delta overview](https://www.delta.com/us/en/about-delta/overview) to familiarize yourself with Delta's purpose and corporate goals, because knowledge of those can be extremely helpful in an interview. Delta publishes four core values, **Integrity**, **Care**, **Resilience**, and **Servant Leadership**, that the company says are "the Delta Difference": > "Rooted in our people and culture, the Delta Difference has been our strongest competitive advantage for 100 years. Every day, in everything we do, our more than 100,000 employees live out our core values of Integrity, Care, Resilience and Servant Leadership by delivering welcoming, elevated and caring service."[^delta-esg] Bring stories that demonstrate acting with integrity when it cost you something, caring for a customer or teammate beyond the script, recovering with resilience from a setback, and leading by serving the team instead of directing it. Delta also frames its purpose this way: "As a purpose-driven brand, we connect people to opportunities while expanding the understanding of our planet and the people within it."[^delta-overview] [^delta-esg]: Delta Air Lines, Inc., "People" (Delta Difference Report), https://esghub.delta.com/content/esg/en/2024/people.html (accessed May 2026).

Start your interview in a place that is **quiet** - away from kids, pets, lawnmowers, etc. Not only will the person viewing your video have a hard time understanding you, loud noises right when you are about to answer a question might sap your confidence. Even though you might be at home, **dress** as if you were at an in-person interview. People viewing your answers appreciate the professionalism of someone that took the time to think about this issue and record using appropriate clothing. **Lighting** is absolutely key. If you record in an environment with low light, you'll come across as a blurry, barely recognizable mess on video - which does not help your chances of getting hired. Open your curtains to let in lots of natural light or turn on lights to brighten up the environment. When it comes to lighting, more is always better - as long as the lights aren't pointed at your camera! ### Delta HireVue interview questions Below are some Delta sample questions. * Tell me about yourself (a classic Hirevue question) * What was the toughest challenge you've faced * Tell me about a time you faced a problem with a team member * Tell me something that is not on your resume * Access more of these questions at **[Voomer®](Voomer®)**! ### Sharpen one answer Practice makes perfect - boost your confidence before the interview by **practicing** for your Delta HireVue interview on a tool like **[Voomer®](Voomer®)**.
