Congrats, Cliff! I run a group called Tech Ladies and we send a weekly newsletter that highlights a woman from our group and we also run job postings from tech companies looking to hire more women. I wrote a piece about it here back when it was just #NYCTechLadies (we are everywhere now): https://byrslf.co/everyone-wants...
Two questions: 1) Where do you source your candidates from? and 2) How do you determine what companies have good culture for women? For me, the first comes as a natural extension of our group that has 1400+ women who work in tech. For the second, I do research each company and lean on the group to tell me if they've had positive experiences at those companies before we feature them.
Also! Let me know if you'd like to team up somehow :)

@allisonveronica Thanks so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to jump in on the comments! I know exactly who you are :) — I actually read your #NYCTechLadies piece a while back, bookmarked it and thought to myself, “She’s someone I need to connect with.” I really love what you’re doing as well.
1. Right now we’re sourcing candidates through a combination of word-of-mouth, marketing, a pool (200+)of candidates from a previous startup I co-founded and of course today we’ve seen a pretty overwhelming influx of candidates, being featured on PH. We’re also reaching out to candidates directly.
2. Like you, we research companies ourselves and get feedback from candidates we reach out to and those that contact us wanting to learn more. I also pay close attention to companies publicly making a concerted effort to diversify their applicant pools (like Pinterest and Etsy)and reach out to those companies and startups.
And Yes! I’d definitely like to chat about teaming up. The feedback from your #NYCTechLadies group would be tremendously valuable. I would love to get feedback from your community on the product and help #NYCTechLadies in any way I can! Give me a shout anytime: cliff@hireher.co #DiversifyOrDie :)
