Emirates Pilot HireVue Interview 2025 - what You Need to Know

What Is the Emirates HireVue Interview?

The HireVue stage is a video interview recorded online using your laptop or phone. You're not speaking to a real person – instead, you're responding to automated questions while being recorded.

Your answers are reviewed by AI for fluency, vocabulary, confidence, tone, pace, and facial expressions. Later, Emirates recruiters may review your performance.

Format and Timing

You will receive an email invitation from Emirates to complete the test within a few days.

• You get 3 questions.

• For each, you have 30 seconds to prepare.

• Then, you have 90 seconds to respond.

• There is no "retry" or second chance – so preparation matters.

Sample Questions (from actual Emirates candidates)

While exact questions vary, common themes include:

1. How did you build relationships with colleagues in your airline?

2. Tell me some challenges you faced in your current airline.

3. Why would you want to live in Dubai?

4. Tell us about a time you had to motivate a colleague.

5. What does your family think about moving to Dubai?

These are not technical questions – the goal is to assess your English, communication style, and mindset.

Pro Tips to Prepare for HireVue

1. Test your internet: Visit Google speed test and make sure you have a stable connection.

2. Choose a quiet, well-lit room: Use natural light or face a lamp. Avoid backlighting.

3. Dress professionally: Just like for a live interview.

4. Practice speaking to a camera: Open your phone camera, record yourself, and rehearse your answers within the time limit.

5. Stay calm and smile: Relax your face, speak slowly and clearly.
