Ep 639: Inclusive Interviews Inspired By NASA
Job interviews have always been a source of anxiety for many people. The pressure of showcasing your achievements to a stranger in an unnaturally structured conversation is not easy, and for many neuro-diverse people, it is pretty much impossible. The use of Ansychromous video interviews has helped the situation in some ways but doesn't provide the opportunity for real-time conversation and exploration, which is critical in the later stages of the recruiting process.\n\nCould a methodology initially designed to combat communication delays in space travel offer a solution that bridges the gap between synchronous and asynchronous interviewing in a way that is inclusive for everyone?\n\nMy guest week is Rob Brougham, Director & Co-Founder of Braided Communications. Rob worked with NASA to develop a unique way of helping astronauts have real-time conversations with people back on Earth on future missions to the moon and Mars. He is now using the same technology to make the recruiting process more inclusive and effective. So how does this all work? Just keep listening to find out more.\n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\nA simple way of defying the laws of physics in space travel\n\nHow Braiding works\n\nMaking the asynchronous synchronous.\n\nCo-presence and connection\n\nThe importance of inclusive communication\n\nApplications in talent acquisition\n\nMaking interviews real-time and inclusive\n\nWhat does the future of business communication look like?\n\n\nFollow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.
