Dear Tech People is the result of pulling over 70k profiles on LinkedIn across 100 companies and processing all the data with name analyzers/facial recognition tech/and a bunch of actual humans on mturk. The project seeks to answer questions like how many women work at Snap or how many black engineers are at Docker. Hopefully the transparency in this project helps diversity advocates make cases for the change they want to see.
I'm excited to share this project on behalf of the creators. If you're interested in learning more, you can contact them at deartechpeople(at)gmail.com.
This is a really interesting initiative! Thanks for sharing! Was there anything surprising you all found? Have you had a lot of feedback from underrepresented groups?
So according to that ranking, a company with 80/20 female-to-male ratio is much more diverse than a one with 20/80 ratio. I don't think that "diversity" is the correct term for what they're measuring.
