Mission Statement: Divercity is a diversity and inclusion hiring platform that helps forward-thinking companies and recruiters find and connect with diverse candidates. Our mission is to demystify and solve the diversity hiring gap in the tech industry and to bring more equity and inclusion to it through a combination of community, relationships, and artificial technology.
We pride ourselves on extreme ownership in our disciplines and encourage a lot of learning and communication. More importantly, we strongly believe that everyone on the team has an equitable voice and would love to hear yours as much as possible.

We believe in fostering diverse teams as all perspectives, cultures, and demographics matter
Everyone is equal and entitled to whatever opportunities they aspire to regardless of demographics
We believe in folks working on what they can relate with and feeling connected to the mission
We believe in being wise with funds and also having fun at the same time
All perspectives matter, everyone has a voice, and we want to make sure everyone feels heard
We believe in not cutting corners and in putting great world-class products out there
Teamwork makes the dream work and there is no “I” in team as we are the sum of all our parts
We believe life is too short and that we need to have fun and enjoy our team and the work we do!
Back in 2006, I was the first black person ever hired by an all-white company. Immediately, I felt quadruple the pressure that someone with my level of experience would normally feel. I was eventually laid off without cause, a rude awakening to the inequity in the workplace for people of color and women. For the next decade, I would go on to work in Silicon Valley, often as one of the only persons of color in my workplace.
In 2017, my conviction to solve this problem culminated in Divercity.io, an HR-tech tool aimed at diversifying tech by helping companies measure their diversity rates and connect with underrepresented talent.
Many companies want to change this, and we want to help them.
Now we're on track to becoming one of the most trusted sources for diversity measurement and the largest underrepresented professional network in the world! With thousands of users, companies, and jobs we are just getting started and would love for you to join us in this mission.
Our recruiting team comprises a dozen diversity-minded recruiting professionals with many decades of combined experience in the tech industry. The team specializes in finding, screening, and placing underrepresented talent including BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), women, LGBTQIA2S+, and other marginalized professionals in the tech industry.
