How can you recognize and stop the leaks in your hiring process?
In 2019, I joined the New York Pivotal office as an engineering manager. At the time, I had the opportunity to join the most diverse team I’ve ever been a part of. The team was over 50% women, nearly half the team had been born outside the U.S., and for some, English was not their first language. Our lead engineer was a brilliant woman, Natalie Arellano, who was soon followed by another, Yael Harel.
On that team was one of my first reports – an intern named Sophie.
