I wish that were the case. I would have loved to have a more diverse pool of candidates apply. This was a mid-sized tech company (1500 employees) that is very well known in its vertical. We'd post job openings on Twitter, LinkedIn and the company website at least.

Yet the pool of US-based applicants was anything but diverse. Very few women and almost zero URM (Under-represented minorities). Also the candidate diversity was worse for more senior levels.

Maybe offer hiring bonuses to diverse candidates. Many people are secretly diverse, they just need a bit of motivation, to disclose they are non-binary or queer!

Also it is very important to respect privacy. Many people have a family, that does not know about their secret gender identity or secret sexual orientation!
