Our Diversity
Manifesto

At Hummingbird, we’re committed to building a diverse
team from the ground up. To clarify and codify our
commitment, we’ve decided to publish this manifesto
to explain what diversity means to us, why we believe
it’s so important, and what we’re doing to build an
inclusive culture and a diverse team.

What is diversity at Hummingbird?

At Hummingbird, our goal is to build a team of people with different viewpoints that originate from different past experiences. We believe that people with different backgrounds, cultures, and identities experience the world in different ways and gain different perspectives. As we build our team, we want to bring a breadth of perspectives to the problems we’re solving. Because we think of diversity as fundamentally originating from different life experiences, our goal is to hire a team with diversity across a wide range of factors. Our ideal team combines people with different genders, races, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, abilities, economic classes, past work experiences, and more.

We understand that part of an inclusive culture is awareness of different obligations that might interfere with a traditional interview schedule. In order to welcome a wide array of backgrounds, we accommodate a wide array of interview schedules.

Work Life Balance

We are all committed to the success of Hummingbird, but we are also committed to our loved ones and families. We find ways to balance those two commitments in order to be inclusive to people with different sets of commitments.

In Summary

We believe that it is necessary to continuously, consciously, and diligently reinforce our commitment to diversity. If you think we’re missing something in our understanding of diversity or have an idea for other actions we can take to build a more diverse and inclusive company, we welcome your input. If you have a perspective we might be missing at Hummingbird, email us – we’d love to talk about how you can contribute.
