Interview Questions Principles, Guiding Questions, and Equity Framework

What should be our fundamental PRINCIPLE?

When beginning your process of developing INTERVIEW QUESTIONS, use the following principles to design your practices:

• Principle 1: Behavioral-based questions that are open-ended and retrospective or prospective to predict future behavior
• Principle 2: Interview questions, prompts, and demos focused on equity-minded KSAs (knowledge, skills, and abilities) 
• Principle 3: Written materials and oral presentations assessing agreed-upon rubrics that only take into account the knowledge, skills, and abilities related to the job description

What GUIDING QUESTIONS should we use?

As you design INTERVIEW QUESTIONS, ask the following questions:

• Are the questions direct and clearly define race and inequalities?
• Do the questions allow candidates to demonstrate how they can actualize or operationalize the diversity goals?

Which EQUITY FRAMEWORK foundations should focus our work?

Use the following equity foundations to frame your INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:

IV	Systemically aware	Critical of institutional structures that perpetuate bias
V	Equity advancing	Willing to assess own practice and accountable to closing equity gaps
