How to Attract, Hire, and Grow Diverse Product Teams
summary
Gives a step-by-step playbook: runs an audit of recruitment then an anonymous team survey that surfaces mentorship, speaker series and unexpectedly high interest in implicit bias training; uses ProductPlan data (under 20% minority product roles, ~15% senior leadership) to set timebound KPIs and a concrete goal to raise Black/African‑American representation within 12 months. Recruits via targeted orgs and a LinkedIn post recruiting HBCU interns that yields hires (product and engineering interns), measures applications/interviews/offers, and iterates.
