OpenAI pilots 'mission interview' for candidates, starting with marketing and HR
fortune · reddit · 2026-10-08
OpenAI is piloting a new "mission interview" hiring step, starting with marketing and HR teams. Candidates discuss how they'd advance the mission of ensuring AGI benefits all humanity, with interviewers assessing judgment and tradeoff reasoning. There are no "right" answers — skepticism and disagreement are welcome. Interviewers come from a separate team, and OpenAI is building an internal certification program for them.
