Case Study: Mid-America Arts Alliance builds a more diverse, efficient hiring process with Datapeople

How M-AAA is Diversifying their Workforce by Standardizing their Hiring Process with Datapeople

Mid-America Arts Alliance (M-AAA), a nonprofit regional arts organization, needed to make its hiring process more fair, consistent, and inclusive as DEIA became a strategic priority. With inconsistent job descriptions, unclear requirements, and a workforce that didn’t fully reflect the diversity of its community, M-AAA turned to Datapeople to improve how it created and published job posts.

Using Datapeople’s job post templates, inclusive writing guidance, bias detection, and performance scoring, M-AAA standardized its hiring process and made job ads clearer and more transparent. With Datapeople, the organization increased applications from 50–60 to 200–300 per opening, improved candidate quality, and hired a more diverse pool of people while saving time for its lean HR team.
