The tech industry has been facing increasing scrutiny over diversity, equity and inclusion issues in recent years. Even though having a policy aimed at hiring a diverse team can bring employers a greater range of talent to improve just about every business outcome, progress in this area remains disappointingly slow.
According to a report by hiring platform Hiretual, organizations are doing little to boost diversity within their software teams. Analysis of candidate searches made via its platform between January 1st and July 31st this year found that just 15% of searches applied a diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) filter to find developers from Black, Hispanic, Asian or Native American backgrounds.
