Company profile
researched Sep 2026DiversiBoard operates an online recruitment and job board platform that connects technology employers with technical candidates drawn from a broadened ethnic, cultural and international talent pool. The company applies what it describes as patented candidate testing to match employers with qualified engineers and computer scientists, positioning blind, test-based assessment as a way to remove unconscious bias from screening.
The platform is described as connecting technical talent across the Caribbean and West Africa with companies in the United States and Canada, serving both recruiters and jobseekers seeking better matches and market exposure. The company's site also presents itself as an international scholarship and job board. Its public materials frame the opportunity around underrepresentation of Black engineers in Silicon Valley relative to the U.S. workforce and around a large volume of unfilled U.S. technology roles.
Founding story
DiversiBoard was founded by Eleanor Brown, a Jamaican national, Rhodes Scholar and Yale Law graduate, who started the company to change how the tech recruiting industry operates at a time of heightened diversity awareness and severe engineer shortages. It was built on the premise that if unconscious biases were stripped away and talent assessed on a level playing field, more technology opportunities would open to highly qualified people of color.
Business model
The company operates a two-sided recruitment platform, matching technology employers with screened candidates sourced from diverse and international pools, with candidate testing used to drive matching.
Traction
Public listings indicate a team size of 1-10 employees as of 2024.
