Less than 20% of employees working in tech are women. And it’s clear that talented women are missing out on tech positions because of ingrained bias during the recruitment process.
Amanda Richardson is CEO of CoderPad. She made waves for speaking out against this discrimination during International Women’s Day.
“Every day I’m proud of the progress the tech industry has made to create a more inclusive and diverse community,” she said. “And every day I continue to see how much further we need to go … Take time to get educated on the inequality that exists. Fight discrimination in and out of the workplace. It will take all of us to break the bias. Women can’t do it alone.”
