Diversity and Inclusion Efforts in Hiring for Tech Talents

Sharing my journey through the best practices, initiatives and programmes as a Recruitment Partner. I would like to primarily focus on the improvements in the recruitment and onboarding process, as well as on working for attracting tech talents from non-conventional backgrounds to thrive in the company. How did my background help me to attract the most diverse talented people in tech? What were the obstacles and learnings on the way? How can one make change in their organisation?
