Remember, HireVue only helps their clients screen "unqualified candidates" from "top performers" and records your answers for a representative of Delta to later evaluate. "Because HireVue is not directly involved in the hiring process, the company you applied to will follow up with you about their hiring decision or any next steps after you complete your interview." The hiring manager will review the recorded interviews, often observing several candidates of similar caliber side by side. Ultimately, it is at the discretion of the recruiter to decide whether they will take the algorithm's recommendations.

HireVue's interview builder classifies a novice as someone who doesn't seek information to understand the need for change. Whereas someone with an intermediate skill level or above in any particular category is someone who holds themself accountable for their setbacks while identifying and admitting to their weaknesses, limitations needed adjustments, and mistakes. Someone more experienced considers areas where there is room for improvement as a growth opportunity rather than a weakness or debilitation. And someone who takes ownership of a growth opportunity isn't afraid to share it, which in itself is a show of strength.

"I would say that my greatest weakness can be how sensitive I am. I love people, and love working around people, and I love everyone. So, if someone is especially rude to me, it hurts my feelings a little. But I'll just keep trying to get them to smile and try to kill with kindness. But, if someone is really rude, it does affect me. But it's then that I rely on my teams for a pep talk, and it doesn't take much effort to turn me back around."
