Fair and Effective Interviewing
Practical steps for interviewing skills to attract individuals from all backgrounds

Enjoy a sneak peek of Chapter 1, Introduction to Fair and Effective Interviewing

Every organization knows that talent makes the difference in how well it can execute on its overall mission and goals. To have the best talent, companies have to be able to attract individuals from all backgrounds. A diverse workforce is imperative to an organization’s success because diversity brings different perspectives, spurs innovation, enhances problem-solving, and introduces new skills and markets. The hiring process has many components: outreach, recruitment, screening, interviewing, decision-making, and following up with candidates. Fair and Effective Interviewing for Diversity and Inclusion teaches skills for interviewing – an essential aspect of an inclusive hiring process that is sometimes overlooked.

This course is designed for interviewers of all levels and for all job categories and positions. Vernā explains three key barriers to fair and effective interviewing across differences: our cultural diversity lens, discomfort with difference, and stereotypes and biases. Using stories, examples, and humor, Vernā explains how to recognize and overcome these barriers and provides concrete tips interviewers can use to ensure they are supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion in their organizations and not missing or misjudging talent.

This dynamic 38-minute self-paced course includes 5 short chapters that build upon one another and a short quiz at the end. Included are the handouts: 

• Tips for Fair and Effective Interviews
• Steps to Becoming a More Fair and Effective Interviewer Across Differences
