Britebound Inclusion & Diversity

At Britebound, we have multiple processes to ensure a fair, equitable, and inclusive hiring process. We post our roles on various job sites, including diversity career sites, university job boards, and online community space. We offer concise job postings and utilize an AI tool to enhance inclusive language on all postings. Each posting contains transparent salary ranges on all job postings. All these efforts are to encourage every candidate to apply for a role they’re interested in. 

Our application process is streamlined to be easy and efficient for candidates of all abilities. We utilize a blind application review process which means all profiles are evaluated for their skillset and past experience without any personal information attached. 

We offer interview and bias mitigation training to all Hiring Managers and interviewers prior to meeting candidates. They also have access to the “Hiring Toolkit” which offers materials and guides to create an inclusive hiring process. 

Hiring teams are required to submit their interview questions and focus areas to Talent Acquisition prior to meeting candidates to ensure alignment and consistency. The teams will follow the same line of questioning for all candidates to objectively evaluate their skillset. Hiring Managers are also encouraged to include interviewers with varied backgrounds from cross-functional departments to learn as much as possible about candidates during the interviews. We use a standardized scorecard for all roles to ensure feedback provided is consistent across candidate interviews.

At the offer stage, we have a band system which dictates the salary and bonus percentage, which is based on internal equity and external market data. 

All Britebound employees are required to undergo a day and a half of racial equity training with Groundwater to ensure that staff has at least a base level understanding of the history of race and racism in the United States.

However, the organization’s devotion to equity and belonging don’t stop there. They offer additional training and education opportunities throughout the year so that employees can continue to learn about equity and belonging. These include a virtual walk through historical sites of the Civil Rights Movement in Birmingham, AL, a spotlight series on women in the office during Women’s History Month, and a trivia game on LGBT+ history and culture.

Britebound’s target populations also reflect the organization’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Britebound’s work spreads across the United States and Puerto Rico, with a focus on expanding and providing career-connected learning opportunities to young people from rural communities, youth facing systemic barriers such as incarceration, students on reservations, and other walks of life.
