Inclusion At Work

Despite companies investing 7 - 9 hours per person on interviewing, they miss out on great talent by testing for memorization instead of the practical application of skills. The current interview process benefits those who have the resources to prepare, while creating a barrier for those who do not. By attending this panel, you will gain actionable insights from a hiring manager, a recruiter, and an engineer on how to build an interview experience that more effectively measures for on-the-job skills and is an equitable experience for all. Tia leads engineering at Slack. Jen scaled Lever in numbers & culture to be one of the “best places to work”. Sargun & her team have designed a project-based interview now used by Lyft, Dropbox, Betterment, and others.
