At Nooks, we are committed to transparency, innovation, and care for our employees and candidates. To support this and ensure we can focus on you, not on taking notes, we use Google Meet to record and auto‑transcribe our interviews. If we decide you are a good potential fit for the role, do you consent to us using this tool during the interviewing process? Declining recording will not affect your candidacy.
Voluntary Self‑Identification For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.
As set forth in Nooks’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.
Voluntary Self‑Identification of Disability Why are you being asked to complete this form?
We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
