At WayUp, we love helping employers hire top, diverse talent. Since 2014, we’ve been helping companies—like Clorox, L'Oréal, and Bloomberg—attract and hire diverse and qualified early-career talent virtually. From D&I Analytics Dashboards to Automated Concierge Sourcing to employment branding, we’re the number one leader in virtual D&I recruitment solutions.

Many of our Employer Partners use WayUp to recruit diverse STEM talent, so we thought we’d dive into a question we get a lot:

What percentage of WayUp’s userbase includes STEM majors?

WayUp’s employer partners can target the students whose educational profiles best match the role they’re looking for—including STEM talent. Overall, 37% of our sourceable users have “STEM” (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) majors.

Of STEM talent on WayUp’s userbase, 33% of these are Computer Science majors.

For context, 71% of WayUp’s users self-identify as Black, Hispanic, Mixed, or female. More specifically, 36% are Black, Hispanic, or Mixed, and 59% are female. And, in 2020, applicants who applied for tech positions from WayUp were (on average): 

• 45% were Black or Hispanic
• 45% were female
