I'm Randy, CTO of Jopwell. Thanks for the question! The problem is that companies are having trouble finding minorities with technical backgrounds. But they are there. We're trying to solve this by building a place where companies can find diverse individuals, and in turn, be able to consider a diverse pool of candidates when looking to hire.
- MarkPNeyer 11y agohow much of this is companies companies think "we want X" when really, they don't need X? i ask because for a long time google said "we only hire from top schools" and then they looked at the data and found the school they hired from didn't really matter.
- leereeves 11y agoWhat are minorities with technical backgrounds doing now? I'm just wondering if they're already working in technical jobs, and you're only moving them around.
- rbrown 11y agoThere are many talented individuals working across a range of industries, but the reality is that in industries where hiring is very referral-based, such as tech, these talented individuals would not know where to reach out in their networks to have access to the many promising tech opportunities. Our value add is to give these talented individuals access and exposure to opportunities that they did not have before.
