We are thrilled to introduce an advanced feature in Occupop—the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Questions. This functionality empowers organizations to gather valuable insights into diversity and inclusion perspectives during the hiring process. With a focus on providing a comprehensive solution, we have incorporated features such as predefined question sets for Northern Ireland (ECNI) and the USA (EEO, OFCCP), custom question creation, anonymous statistics recording, and candidate visibility. 🚀
Key Features
1. Predefined Question Sets (Available for Customers on all plans)
Occupop now offers predefined question sets tailored to comply with diversity and inclusion regulations in Northern Ireland (ECNI) and the USA (EEO, OFCCP). Users can effortlessly enable these sets to ensure adherence to regional standards while promoting inclusivity in their hiring processes. 🌍📝
2. Custom Question Creation (Available for Customers on the Scale and Custom plans)
Tailor DEI questionnaires to meet the specific needs of your organization. Users can create custom question sets aligned with their values, ensuring that the questions are relevant to the roles to which they are assigned.

Candidates now have the opportunity to view and answer DEI questions during the application process. This allows for a transparent and inclusive experience, fostering a sense of belonging and engagement. 👁️🤝
