Expanded inclusive hiring

We’ve increased the number of places where we promote our job postings to over 65 locations. Some of these spaces include HBCUs, community colleges, trade schools, veteran groups, LGBTQIA+ boards, and more. We have taken a hard look at how our job posts are formatted and have implemented a new process for writing job descriptions with guidance around inclusivity, implicit bias, and harmful language.
