10yThanks for the feedback--I would absolutely agree that we need more diversity throughout the organization, and hopefully you feel we've made that a greater organizational priority over the last year. With that said, it's a challenging problem to solve overnight, so we are working on a few plays that I hope will help long-term: the first was having the entire HEART team (that includes some of the folks who hire the majority of our org) check out Google Ventures' unconscious bias video, the second was sharing the metrics with our team (we're overdue for an update there, so more to follow soon there) and the third was to provide some of those resources to the company and then revisit the types of schools we are recruiting from to attract a more diverse set of candidates both in terms of race and overall background and experience. In addition to recruiting, we've been working on initiatives to make HubSpot more inclusive more broadly on the employee experience side--if you have additional ideas on things we can do there or resources we can provide, more than happy to provide them or work with you on adapting them for use at HubSpot.
