CHICAGO—Are you thinking about hiring? Join the Core Academic Interviews Project Team on Thursday, November 18 at noon CT for a free webinar to discuss our guide for interview best practices. Whether you are holding interviews online or in-person, we created a set of recommendations for interview processes that aim to be transparent and candidate-friendly, while mitigating the bias that is often inherent in long-held practices. At the end of the webinar, participants will understand which aspects of traditional interview practices invite bias; be able to identify areas of potential improvement in their own interview practices; and be familiar with new ways to structure interviews that are welcoming to candidates through an inclusive process.

The Core Academic Interviews Project Team's best practices draft document and this webinar will address our recommendations for candidate-friendly interview processes that include addressing accessibility needs throughout the interview day. The is still open for anyone to view and comment, and provides a good idea of what will be covered during this free webinar.
