There are numerous social issues to consider regarding ethical and responsible recruitment in the tech industry. Over many years, Facebook has been diligent in continually improving its efforts to ensure a positive recruitment experience for its candidates and employees. These efforts include an improved focus on removing unconscious bias from the selection process and putting talent sourcing efforts into reaching more diverse candidate groups.
The interviewer wants to hear what you believe to be the most important focus areas to continue these efforts. When looking at changing the recruitment landscape in the tech industry, some critical areas include:
- Removing antiquated and obsolete practices that slow down the recruitment process.
- Leveraging new tech such as AI and NLP to improve processes and reduce candidate bias.
- Shifting the conversation away from recruiters waiting for candidates to apply to recruiters who actively source.

"For the past three years, I have worked as a Senior Recruiter for Company XYZ. Part of my job description when hired was to help form stronger hiring strategies and identifying weaknesses in the company's current recruiting processes. What I have observed in this process is how challenging it is to reach and engage candidates from diverse communities who are not readily found in the world of tech. We need more intentional recruitment efforts to reach Black, Latinx, and women professionals interested in STEM. Another area of concentration directly tied to this diversity issue should be addressing the location concentration of tech company head offices, which limits our ability to reach talent outside of these saturated regions. There are many antiquated processes and procedures in the recruitment industry, and it's very refreshing to see companies like Facebook so willing to implement change and change the outlook of the industry's recruitment landscape. I look forward to helping Facebook continue to make an impact and improve the recruitment landscape for the tech industry."
