Ask HN: How are you intentional about diversity hiring?

3 pointsjimmymac2051 comment

Hi HN,

We're getting ready to start our hiring process for our first engineer in the next week or so and I want to be super intentional about our diversity efforts. Does anyone know of any good job posting boards? I'm already aware of hiretechladies.com, employdiversity.com, and jobs.chicktech.org. Thanks!

To be very intentional you could share the target racial distribution you aim for in the work place. Hard percentages. Ideally the racial distribution should match the distribution of potential applicants in the market for your job.

If you take merit into account, it could cause an imbalance. For example you may end up with too many Hispanics or women due to their high merit.
