Divercity

The recent societal spotlight on racial injustice and inequality has mandated companies to embrace a new approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). It comes as no surprise that DEI is now a pillar of the future of work, allowing businesses to be innovative and creative, while reducing employee disengagement and turnover.

The successful implementation of DEI requires buy-in from the entire organization—which is often challenging due to their inability to measure DEI metrics. Many companies lack the ability to identify the current diversity breakdown, track progress, monitor DEI in application pipelines, and connect with the pool of underrepresented talent.

Founded by Chuka Ikokwu and Joanna Pyra with a bold mission to help organizations measure and track DEI and connect with a pool of diverse talent is Divercity. Through its state-of-the-art technology platform, the firm enables clients to bring order to how they approach DEI within their organization. This diversity and inclusion measurement and recruiting solution is instrumental in filling diversity hiring gaps and enhancing equity and inclusion in an organizational setting. All of this is done through a unique combination of community, relationships, and technology.

“Our platform uses data, AI, and measurement-based disciplines to help companies measure workforce diversity, find and connect with diverse candidates, and build an inclusive workplace,” states Chuka Ikokwu, Co-Founder and CEO of Divercity.

The Divercity platform encompasses three key solutions. Its measuring and reporting system easily connects with a client’s human resource information system (HRIS) to quickly evaluate their workforce. The solution then generates and provides accurate diversity reports based on their demographic breakdown of gender and ethnicity.

These reports are bench marked against industry and national averages to provide more context to the DEI status. Divercity ensures that its reports are statistically significant by augmenting these data sets with various public information systems, such as LinkedIn.

Clients can also monitor diversity in their job application pipelines using theme asuring and reporting system. It integrates with their applicant tracking system to provide detailed diversity reports based on the demographics of the applicants.

The next piece of the Divercity platform is designed to connect clients with underrepresented professionals. It aggregates hundreds of millions of records of candidates from multiple racial sub-categories, including White, Latinx, Black, South Asian, Southeast Asian, East Asian, and West Asian, and connects them with recruiters. Clients can filter for their demographic gaps, reach out to potential candidates, and hire based on their talent needs.

The Divercity platform also helps companies retain their diverse workforce with its inclusion tracking system. It can be configured to specific DEI goals, which is then correlated with client diversity scores. With scores regularly updated, they can mark their improvement over time. This helps clients to constantly work toward perfecting their DEI posture and retain employees. Needless to say, the Divercity platform has been exceptionally beneficial for various companies, including Jam City and Thumbtack that are working to recruit and retain a diverse workforce.

What gives Divercity an edge over the competition is its dedication to a customer-first approach. The company ensures that its exclusive range of offerings and best-in-class predictive analytics are easy to use and affordable to all. Clients can quickly get up and running on the platform by creating an account as a human resource or recruitment professional.

Divercity’s offerings give clients a strategic pathway to embrace DEI. The company’s services are ideal for forwardlooking companies seeking to foster a robust DEI culture, gain more credibility among job seekers, and serve as a breeding ground for innovation.
