Instructions
- Audit current pipeline. Break down applicants by demographic (where legally permissible) at each funnel stage.
- Identify drop-off points. Where do underrepresented candidates exit: application, screen, interview, offer?
- Review job descriptions. Scan for gendered language, unnecessary requirements, and exclusionary criteria.
- Source from diverse channels. Identify 5+ platforms, communities, and organizations for underrepresented talent.
- Set pipeline targets. Aim for 40%+ diverse candidates at interview stage (Rooney Rule minimum).
- Track and report. Weekly pipeline diversity metrics: application rate, pass-through rate, interview rate, offer rate.
- Recommend interventions. If pass-through rate disparity >15%, investigate process bias at that stage.
Example
Pipeline Audit — Senior Engineer Role (Week 1-4):
Applications: 120 total, 45 diverse (37.5%)
Screen Pass: 40 total, 12 diverse (30%) ← DROP-OFF
Interview: 15 total, 5 diverse (33%)
Offer: 3 total, 1 diverse (33%)
Action: Screen stage shows 7.5pt disparity. Review screening criteria for bias.
