- 요약The lack of racial diversity within the Technology Industry has been an issue for more than three decades. In 2014, leading Silicon Valley technology companies made the decision to publicly disclose their company's employee demographic data. This has rekindled the conversation about how to source, recruit, and hire underrepresented minorities in the industry. This qualitative improvement study interviewed 12 recruiters in the technology industry to examine their experiences and practices in working to close the hiring gap for non-technical, underrepresented talent. For many people, software engineers and other similarly technical roles are synonymous with the industry, however non-technical positions constitute 43.0% of all positions in the technology industry and thus represent a significant opportunity for companies to increase the levels of underrepresented talent in their organization. Recruiters are often the de facto diversity leaders in their companies. The research found three areas that support or hinder diversity hiring. First, Organizational Inhibitors are elements within companies that negatively impact their ability to hire inclusively; this includes misaligned or absent corporate diversity philosophies, definitions of diversity, measurements for assessing hiring success, accountability for results, and systemic bias. Second, Hiring Roles and Responsibilities addresses the function and role of recruiting personnel; this includes role variance across companies, differences in hiring processes across recruiters, the role of hiring managers in the hiring process, and the misalignment of incentives around diversity. Third, Hiring Tools looks at the various tools organizations and recruiters use to identify talent and how they can be used to improve inclusive hiring outcomes.
