Pinterest Met Its External Hiring Goals in 2019 for Women, Underrepresented Minorities

The company shared its three-pronged approach for 2020 and beyond

For the first time in the six-year history of Pinterest’s inclusion and diversity report, the company met all three of its external hiring goals, along with achieving incremental increases in representation.

Chief human resources officer Jo Dennis said in a blog post Thursday that Pinterest boosted its hiring rate for full-time female engineers to 27% in 2019, topping its goal of 25%.

The company aimed to hike its hiring rate of underrepresented minority engineers by 8%, and it exceeded that number, tallying a 9% jump.
