How to Build a High Performing and Diverse Engineering Team: Lessons from Codility & IDEMIA

Gender equality is an issue that continues to resurface as many tech companies still fall far behind in establishing truly diverse teams. There is a wealth of research that says diverse teams perform better because each individual brings a different perspective to the table and fuels innovation, and it all starts with your recruitment process.

Recruiters and talent acquisition leaders around the globe are looking for innovative methods to increase workplace diversity. So why is it so hard to move the needle?
