Social media giant Pinterest consciously inserted a diversity clause in their recruitment drives to broaden the employee base. Certain interesting conclusions emerged out of this exercise. First of all, simply setting diversity as a target during talent recruitment is not enough. Instead, constant justifications for the same need to be provided to the key stakeholders. Increasing diversity leads to moments of discomfort as much needs to be adjusted for. Over a period of time, the organization needs to get comfortable with this uneasy sense. It is a myth that diversity slows down the recruitment proves. Rather, it makes the entire process more efficient. Diversity is not a tactic which once set, works immediately. Instead it requires constant improvisation in order to yield the desired results.
