- As we’ve reported in this series, many companies remain committed to the values of DEI — but are shifting their strategies for a new era.
- Skills-based hiring is one way companies are working to identify diverse candidates organically.
- With artificial intelligence, talent leaders can accelerate the hiring process and uncover strong candidates within their companies that they might have missed before.
- DEI programs have many aspects, including employer branding and attracting a diverse talent pool, screening and hiring, and compensation.
- Indeed once had a DEI team that worked parallel to the HR function. But when the previous HR leader left the company, they decided to reorganize and embed the DEI discipline across the business, elevating the previous head of DEI to chief people officer.
- By enlisting AI tools to analyze online sources, university partnerships, and other talent alliances and platforms the company is using, Adya said it should be able to optimize its approach around specific goals.
- AI can do that in a way that human knowledge management and analysis is not going to be able to do.
- Deri said that if a large language model can be trained on the outcomes, such as attracting new customers, creating new products, and building community trust, “that might be something that uses technology to help the storytelling about DEI. We really need to change the entire story now.”

Mortgage Rates Today: November 26, 2024—Rates Remain Fairly Steady
- The current mortgage rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell by 0.04 percentage point in the last week to 7.25%.
- Meanwhile, the APR on a 15-year fixed mortgage dropped 0.08 percentage point during the same period to 6.33%.
- Today’s average rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage is 7.25%, which is 0.04 percentage point lower than last week.
- To get an idea about how much you might pay in interest, consider that the current 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage of 7.25% on a $100,000 loan will cost $682 per month in principal and interest.
- Today, the 15-year mortgage rate sits at 6.33%, lower than it was yesterday. Last week, it was 6.41%.
- The current average interest rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate jumbo mortgage is 7.20%— 0.08 percentage point down from last week.
- The Federal Reserve’s restrictive monetary policy—including its interest rate hikes, which it’s using to restrain inflation—is the primary factor that’s pushing long-term mortgage rates higher.
- Home loan borrowers can qualify for better mortgage rates by having good or excellent credit, maintaining a low debt-to-income (DTI) ratio and pursuing loan programs that don’t charge mortgage insurance premiums or similar ongoing charges that increase the loan’s annual percentage rate (APR).
- Comparing rates from different mortgage lenders is an excellent starting point. You may also compare conventional, first-time homebuyer and government-backed programs like FHA and VA loans, which have different rates and fees.
- Buyers in eligible rural areas with a moderate income or lower may also consider USDA loans. This program doesn’t require a down payment, but you pay an upfront and annual guarantee fee for the life of the loan.
