Hire the best people.
Equitably.

Equitable Hiring Group helps non-profits and ​impact-driven organizations find the best talent.

Go beyond diversity quotas

Diversity hiring can easily verge into tokenization — that’s why we design ​hiring processes that take implicit bias and social inequities into account.

Build teams that reflect the ​communities ​you serve

Traditional hiring strategies favor white people, men, cis-gendered folks, those with educated parents, wealthy ​people, and people with the ability to take unpaid ​internships, just to name a few.

Our hiring strategies address these inequities — allowing ​us to source from a truly diverse pool of candidates to find ​the right fit for your organization.

Work with a hiring expert who ​shares your values

We are a collective of hiring professionals who work independently, but share ​common values and practices. Get in touch with the member best suited for your ​search needs, or email our founding partner Abe Taleb to be matched.
