Building Diverse Teams and Projects
summary
Research cites eight concrete moves: use software that scans job postings for biased language, require a diverse candidate slate or relist positions until diverse slate, and push vendors to recruit at junior colleges and use vendors to reach HBCUs. Specific tactics reported: run Harvard IATs, create affinity groups in Slack, favor remote roles, run hackathons with targeted schools, track diversity in OKRs up to the board, and build governance tools on GitLab to measure and reward participation. Several measures (relist policy, targeted hackathons) show early positive effects.
