I recently had a phone interview and while trying to figure out what I would want from an ideal job, I was surprised to discover I had not ever seen anyone recommend some of the questions I came up with:
- What is [your parent company] and/or [you, the subsidiary] doing to fight the climate crisis?
- What about diversity, how is your male-to-female ratio and are there many colleagues of non-European heritage? Potential follow-up: Are there any efforts to improve that?
(Of course, replace "European" with the region where most privileged people are typically from in your area.)
There were obviously more things I cared about, but I realized that this is one of the things I would want and should be looking for. I hope it may inspire others to do the same, as it has come up in my current company that nobody noticed that candidates are even looking for this sort of thing (and so, "from a business perspective, why should we even try if it makes no financial sense?").
