What training have you completed related to DE&I in recruitment, and how will you continue expanding your diversity recruitment knowledge for the benefit of Netflix?
The interviewer wants to know that you understand how critical DE&I (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) is to the Netflix recruitment process. The goal of your response is to talk about your DE&I training and knowledge and express how you plan to continually expand your understanding.
Every year, Netflix releases an inclusion report that anyone can download and review.
In its most recent social impact report, Netflix's VP of Inclusion Strategy writes, "Transformational change won't happen overnight. Progress takes consistent discipline, heart, and practice. We're committed to doing our part in inspiring change within our industries - so more people can feel seen, heard, and supported to contribute at their best."
Before your interview, review Netflix's most current report to ensure that you understand the alignment between your existing DE&I knowledge and where you can expand your understanding to help Netflix reach its social impact goals.
As a working professional, you should be ready to use your education, life, and career experiences to succeed in a diverse workplace environment. Discuss your exposure to the topic of diversity in the workplace, show that you have a solid understanding of the depth of diversity and inclusion in business environments, and assure the interviewer that you will succeed in their diverse work community.
"I continually aim to deepen my understanding of unconscious biases and how they influence my behavior and impact others in the workplace. This year I have taken a keen interest in diversity and inclusion efforts, especially in light of the Black Lives Matter movement and other calls for equality. Over the past six months, I have immersed myself in multiple online courses, including a course called Race and Cultural Diversity in American Life and History. I took another course on what it means to identify as transgender and gender non-conforming since I had a lot to learn. I am pleased to say that I have learned a great deal about other groups and myself in the process. I am thankful to have worked for highly conscious companies on their diversity efforts and inclusion programs. Some of the efforts I have been part of include changing job ads to use only inclusive phrasing and information. I will continue to educate myself and broaden my knowledge, as I believe this topic demands more attention from most working professionals. I am eager to use this knowledge and my inclusive mindset to support Netflix's diversity efforts."
