Women and underrepresented minorities continue to be underrepresented in our workplaces. The diversification of applicant pools constitutes an important step for broadening the participation of women and URM in the workforce. Research shows that women and people of color disproportionately do not apply for jobs where they do not meet 100% of the "requirements." If you think you can do this job, we encourage you to apply. Ethico is committed to breaking structural barriers to entry and career progress, and driving fair hiring practices in our workplace.
