Pinterest looking to diversify its workforce
Pinterest has plans to bring in more women and minorities into its staff, according to Evan Sharp, the company’s co-founder and CEO. Sharp detailed in a blog post how they plan to change its full-time engineering sector to have 30 percent female and eight percent minorities. They also intend to put to practice the “Rooney-rule” where they are required to interview at least one person from an underrepresented background and one female candidate for every available leadership role. By making their plans public, Pinterest hopes other companies will follow suit.
