Details

Many companies, especially in industries like tech and finance, struggle to increase the number of minorities and women in their ranks—even while consciously trying to close the race or gender gap. Business and tech slang make up a good portion of the words and phrases that commonly turn off diverse candidates. Software, like Textio, could be a solution.
