Throughout my career, I noticed a great deal of hiring managers who believe that they have created diverse teams, but in reality, fall short, due to biases in recruitment and hiring. What they fail to realize is that a truly diverse team is characterized by creating a team that has different backgrounds, educations, and opportunities than you.
In this episode, Rob Cocks, VP of Sales for Vimeo North America, and I discuss the biases in recruiting and how Rob has worked to overcome them by creating a more diverse and inclusive team. We also dive deep into Google's interview process, with a particular focus on General Cognitive Ability (GCA).
Tune into this episode as we explore these topics and uncover new insight into how the workplace can become a more inclusive and fair environment for all.
