Etsy committed in 2017 to "meaningfully increase representation" and put numbers to that last February. By 2023, Etsy wants to double its number of black and Latino employees, bringing it to about 17.5% or 18%. For 2020, Spector Louden said, Etsy plans to focus on hiring more women and minorities for leadership roles and can do so by taking a "holistic approach" to the process. She added that among its changes, the company so far has implemented mentorship programs, created hiring rubrics to be more fair and made changes to its performance management system.
