Thread : #Diversity #LinkedIn

Thoughts on new diversity tool suite via LinkedIn - I’m glad they publicly see it as a product priority.

W/an est 500MM users and diversity being a top 5 topic for the last several years, this development was overdue.

I like how they intend to curate data that talent acquisition and hiring managers might refer to based on internal conditions.

There is also the opportunity for the Recruiters - Sourcers to look at the market and see how company stacks up.

Both angles, if leveraged appropriately and through the lens of building ROI into the effort, process, and value chain should prove helpful.

There is a margin of error as data appears to be based on LI profiles not a companies internal ATS.

I’d use both systems as barometers of the other when considering strategic exploration and setting tactical execution.

Time will reveal how future iterations impact the efficiency of the diversity tools in building out high performing teams.

It would do LinkedIn a world of good to leverage the tool suite INTERNALLY. They need to increase engineering (overall) representation stats based on their most recent diversity report.

All things considered, they're an ideal case study of the product. #talentconnect
