Please provide a brief overview of your understanding of diversity and inclusion, and explain why you believe they are important in the workplace.

HireVue analyzes data from recorded videos to identify top performers and candidates aligned with company goals and culture. They build each assessment model "for a specific job role after following these critical steps: Ensure that there is a clear performance indicator for the job role that differentiates the strongest from the least promising performers. Ask the right questions to elicit responses that can be measured and that are pertinent to predicting job performance based on IO psychology research. Train the model to notice everything relevant in the interview (what someone says and how they say it), and build a model that uses only the data points that help predict success in the job."

HireVue asserts that its AI technology is designed to detect and reduce bias. Their goal is to assist clients in building diverse teams with a wide range of backgrounds, knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. The assessment model will evaluate you for your comfort level with working in an environment that is diverse and inclusive.

Interest, openness, and curiosity are key traits that convey cultural competence. Leaning in, tilting your head, smiling, and making eye contact are nonverbal indicators of these. Whereas signs of discomfort and avoidance could indicate negative bias and antipathy. Decreased positivity, reduced eye contact and increased gaze aversion, fewer smiles, greater interpersonal distance, and increased blinking are signs of negative bias.

"I mean, when everyone has equal opportunity to contribute, there will be more innovation, collaboration, and representation. This will only lead to a better and brighter future. On an individual level, when working along with those who come from different backgrounds than your own, you learn and grow more, and ultimately become a more cultured and educated person. In every regard, it's just better."
