"For the past three years, I have worked as a Senior Recruiter for Company XYZ. Part of my job description when hired was to help form stronger hiring strategies and identifying weaknesses in the company's current recruiting processes. What I have observed in this process is how challenging it is to reach and engage candidates from diverse communities who are not readily found in the world of tech. We need more intentional recruitment efforts to reach Black, Latinx, and women professionals interested in STEM. Another area of concentration directly tied to this diversity issue should be addressing the location concentration of tech company head offices, which limits our ability to reach talent outside of these saturated regions. There are many antiquated processes and procedures in the recruitment industry, and it's very refreshing to see companies like Facebook so willing to implement change and change the outlook of the industry's recruitment landscape. I look forward to helping Facebook continue to make an impact and improve the recruitment landscape for the tech industry."
