Ask HN: How does your company approach hiring diversity?
Ideally this topic won't devolve into an off-topic war. I'm curious how other companies approach diversity. Our company has been tracking diversity and reports on "# of non-male identifying employees" and "# of non-white employees". A coworker just posted about a tool to remove biases from job postings (textio.com), which looks awesome. The response from HR was "we're using that and our job postings are strongly feminine-leaning", which matches towards their stated goals. I've access to a couple of the hiring pipelines, and from speaking with others, our current strategy is: • Headhunt for employees matching the statistics we're looking to grow • Bias our external communication towards those in align with the statistics we're looking to grow • Bias our selection process towards those in align with the statistics we're looking to grow Again, this isn't my job (I do mostly sysadmin-like stuff) and I don't have enough information to give opinions on any of this, but I'm curious if other companies have similar strategies or methods they follow in search of similar goals. 0 comments on Hacker News.
