If you witnessed a co-worker doing something unethical, what would you do?
This question is directed at determining whether your character is in line with Sherwin Williams' values. Keep in mind, most companies publish their code of conduct and ethics online in PDF format, which offers clues to the conduct they expect of their employees. And, they are often additionally spelled out in the core values, as it is in Sherwin Williams' case. "Our Values... Integrity! Our integrity shines through in our products, our business practices, and our relationships. We pride ourselves on keeping our promises to one another, to our customers and to our shareholders."
"I am very ethically bound and have a lot of integrity, and have a zero-tolerance rule for theft, for example. If I saw an employee doing something unethical I would immediately report them to your store manager, along with following any guidelines, such as the company code of conduct."
To put it simply, HireVue is a service that helps clients avoid making bad hiring decisions by screening and categorizing candidates, ultimately finding top performers who align with company goals and culture. HireVue employs machine learning algorithms to analyze video interviews and predict job performance. The data will be assessed to determine a candidate's expertise, skills, personality, and integrity through verbal and non-verbal cues. In addition to AI assessment models, HireVue employs IO psychologists who use interview guides with behavioral questions and IO-validated content for candidate recruitment. They explain that their algorithms, when using this approach, can better evaluate candidates, identify top performers, and hire those who best match the company's goals and culture.
Your integrity will be evaluated by how honestly you answer this question, so be sincere. Non-verbal cues used by the assessment vendor to assess honesty include chin-stroking, mouth or eye covering, gaze avoidance, eye direction, fidgeting, frequent changes in body posture, and grooming behaviors.
HireVue breaks a candidate's experience level into five categories: novice, developing, intermediate, advanced, and expert. According to their definition, a novice would be "willing to bend the rules to deliver in their job role." Someone of intermediate experience "consistently holds themselves accountable for making principled decisions when working to meet the demand." And lastly, an expert "addresses unethical behaviors when working to meet the demand."
