Beyond LinkedIn: inclusive sourcing wins

What’s working for you to reach mid-career Latine and Black software engineers outside LinkedIn? We saw a 32% uptick this quarter by pairing Techqueria and Jopwell sourcing with 6pm ET bilingual info sessions and routing candidates into structured interviews in Greenhouse with a shared rubric; I’m looking for other scalable, equity-centered channels (disability, veteran, reentry) that you’ve hired from.

We’ve had the best mid-career lift by partnering with @devcolor to run small ‘architecture review’ roundtables and post roles in their Slack, then fast-laning attendees to structured onsites — more work than a webinar, but it beat cold InMails by a mile. For disability/veteran, routing through Inclusively (https://www.inclusively.com) kept accommodations and rubrics consistent; want an intro to Black Tech Pipeline?

Building on @sgreen, pairing dev/color outreach with local Blacks In Technology chapters has scaled: we host 45‑min “system design clinics” in their Discord and fast‑lane attendees into Greenhouse with the shared rubric (https://www.blacksintechnology.net). Not a silver bullet — engagement drops if a hiring manager isn’t present; have you tried a similar clinic with Code2040 or VetsInTech?
