“My disability is that I cannot use my legs. My handicap is your negative perception of that disability, and thus of me.” - Rick Hansen  

This #NationalAccessAbilityWeek, I want to celebrate the person whose journey has been a source of profound inspiration for me. 

With a terrible speech impediment, my 14-year-old self would have never imagined building a successful tech company, and the deep impact going to a high school named after Rick Hansen would make.
 
The Man in Motion taught me about perceptions, bias, and perseverance long before I experienced them myself 

Stepping into the workforce, I continuously struggled to succeed not because I wasn’t good enough, but because managers did not have the patience to deal with my stutter.  

I would often be cut short, my sentences completed for me, or left to deal with an interviewer who had zoned out.  

Having a long ethnic name didn’t help my career growth either. There came a time when I didn’t even land job interviews simply because of my name.  

Then I changed Jahanzaib to Jason for a few applications, and there it was! Not just an interview but a complete offer as well. 

Soon enough, I realized that my stutter was not the problem, nor was my name. 

The problem was people's perception of who I was or what I could (not) do based on those characteristics. 

Establishing Knockri, I only had one goal in mind: 
✨ Everyone should get a fair chance ✨ 

Using #ethicalAI and inclusive design methodologies, Knockri assesses candidates based on work relevant skills, tasks and behaviors and does not account for things like stutter, name, ethnicity, gender, accent, or disability.

We've assessed north of half a million candidates and helped Fortune 500s hire and promote talent efficiently and equitably. 

A huge shoutout to Rick for being the first figurehead I looked up to as an #inclusivity and #accessibility champion 

For inspiring thousands of Jahanzaibs who wish to break barriers and imagine a society where everyone belongs 

Really great to meet the man himself and reinforce the importance of accessibility and inclusion in our mission at Knockri | Skills based Hiring & Promotions 🙌🏽

Did you know that Knockri was a direct result of the #discrimination that our Co-founder and CEO, Jahanzaib Ansari, faced while seeking employment? 

Experiencing #bias in the job market, Jahanzaib set out on a mission to level the playing field for all ✨

Ignoring characteristics like age, race, gender, ethnicity and physical abilities, the Knockri assessment was developed to assess candidates based purely on skillset 

Today, the platform has been adapted by industry giants in both, the private and public sectors, including IBM and Department of National Defence Canada 

Are you looking to make a similar impact as an entrepreneur but unsure of how to nail that first business pitch?💡

Hear it from the man himself during the virtual workshop tomorrow as he dives deep into his strategy when launching Knockri, alongside Raed A. Masri, Founding Partner at TRANSFORM VC

Knockri is an AI video skills assessment tool that uses a similar way to measure employers. The company helps reduce unconscious bias and shortlists the best-fit job candidates to interview, during the early screening process of hiring. It also helps eliminate unsuccessful interviews, by merging video intelligence, artificial intelligence, and science to quantify soft skills like confidence and empathy.

Knockri's algorithm is blind and has been trained not to account for skin color, race, ethnicity, gender, appearance, or sexual preference as measures of desirability for a hire. The company's video and written screening platforms can seamlessly integrate into the existing Applicant Tracking System, that can easily plug-in their ready to go algorithm (API) into the existing interview and conference platforms.
