The demand for workers in areas like healthcare, supply chain, and others has never been more critical. That's why two businesses are now joining forces to offer solutions that help organizations find top candidates while ensuring their talent pool is diverse.
Black Women in Science and Engineering (BWISE), founded by Erika Jefferson to support underrepresented women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through networking, mentorship, and career development, is partnering with Cambio, a multi-faceted recruiting and diversity platform founded by Neil Patwardhan and Bob Richards.
Both organizations are focused on truly moving the needle on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) hiring in a meaningful way.
BWISE, with its professional job board and network of over 15,000 scientists, engineers, and technologists, aims to provide guidance to employers and diverse job seekers with a focus on black women in STEM. Cambio, through its Diversity Engine and analytics, spotlights diverse candidates and ensures biases are surfaced with a focus on delivering top candidates.
BWISE works to bridge the leadership gap for women in STEM. Founded with the purpose to support underrepresented women through networking, mentorship, and career development, the group primarily consists of black women from middle management through senior leadership with degrees in the sciences, math, and engineering (even if they no longer work in that field) who would like to connect with others. The organization provides a platform and a space to share career experiences and be empowered.
Cambio’s mission is to create a more human experience in the world of recruiting and job searching with video and make the process more transparent and fun by embracing the swipe culture of viral mobile applications. A powerful part of the platform is the ability to surface under-represented qualified talent and jobs from a sea of resumes via an engine that ensures recruiters get the right visibility. The company aims to speed up the hiring process and lead the way in diversity hiring to help companies meet their workforce goals for 2020 and beyond.
