Geotab’s Voluntary Self-Identification Survey

Geotab is committed to fair and equitable treatment for all, and fostering a culture that embraces diversity and inclusion throughout the hiring process and beyond. At Geotab, our unique company culture is built upon the value of “always do the right thing” which is embraced by employees around the world. As a global organization, we continuously seek ways in which we can support both our staff and our communities through programs and partnerships focused on empowering diversity and prioritizing inclusion. 

We invite you to complete this optional survey to help us evaluate our diversity and inclusion efforts. Submission of the information on this form is strictly voluntary. Opting not to participate will not impact your job application in any way. Information obtained will not be associated with your name or job application in any identifiable manner. This information will be kept secure and confidential and will be used solely to evaluate our diversity and inclusion efforts. The information collected in this survey is only available to HR staff and Geotab data scientists to view in aggregated data format and not on an individual basis. Your answer will be maintained confidential and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making hiring decisions.

Note to USA Applicants: This is a separate survey from the EEO-1 Voluntary Self Identification Form used in the United States for compliance purposes. We feel that the options found in the mandated survey do not encompass the rich diversity of our applicants, and as such strive to provide additional responses that reflect the landscape more accurately.
