Last week, Kris Dunn of Fist Full of Talent offered some sage advice about sexual harassment training.  He recommended using real world examples and creating debate about what is and isn’t sexual harassment.  This advice was sparked by a quote from the CEO of Tinder in remarks at a Fast Company event.  CEO Sean Rad said that when a Tinder conversation does not lead to a date, he can still say “… ‘Hey, why don’t you come by and interview about this role?’”  For the record, we don’t recommend using Tinder as a hiring tool.
