Studies have shown that women, trans, non-binary people, and Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they meet every one of the qualifications as described in a job description. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive organization and are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job. That candidate may come from a background less traditional to our field of work, and we welcome the new insight such a candidate would provide.
