Employer/Candidate Interview Questions

Here is a starter list for you to begin to generate ideas for your interview questions specifically related to DEI:

For candidates who believe that DEI matters, it is important to ensure that they are working within a company whose values match theirs. “… a company that truly values DEI”:

• Has made commitments to foster a safe and healthy work environment
• Is taking actionable steps to improve representation across all levels and titles
• Holds leaders, managers and employees accountable for actions and behaviors
• Has sought to center equity through all aspects of the employee process — recruitment, training and development, promotions, pay, benefits and more

Possible questions from students to prospective employers:*

• How does your organization define diversity? What lenses of diversity has your organization made a direct commitment toward?
• Does your organization have a chief diversity officer (CDO) or a designated leader to drive DEI and engage internal and external stakeholders? 
• Has your organization made any formal commitments in support of racial equity?
• How does your organization center diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging?
• Does your organization offer any formal employee training around biases, anti-racism or general DEI?
• Does your organization have any affinity groups or committees to support diverse populations? If so, how do these groups contribute to the culture of the organization?
• What resources has your organization provided to its employees in support of COVID-19 and racial injustices?
