In an effort to follow through on improving its diversity, Pinterest has hired its first head of diversity as well as launching two new programmes to bring on board more engineers from non-traditional and under-represented backgrounds. Pinterest first outlined its July diversity goals in 2016, targets include hiring more engineers who are female and/or are from under-represented backgrounds. Pinterest's first Head of Diversity is Candice Morgan who previously worked at a nonprofit organisation that was committed to promoting female inclusion in the workplace, not someone from the industry like many other firms have done, thus showing the company's dedication towards the inclusion of woman in the workplace.
