Identify what the prospective employee already does, including how they live their day-to-day lives. Are they caregivers? Do they volunteer regularly during “working hours?” Are they seeking upward mobility in their career or working a side hustle to pay off student loan debt? For my company, because we have significant flexibility in location and schedule of work, this is an easy question to ask. We want to know, so we can work together to make sure work balances with life — not against it.
