Case Study: Remitly achieves more inclusive, data-driven hiring with Datapeople

Remitly’s Data-Driven Approach to DEI and Hiring

Remitly, a mobile-first provider of remittances and financial services, was committed to a deep, organization-wide DEI strategy but needed better data and tools to support its goals. The company sought to make its recruiting process more equitable and inclusive, particularly to attract more women to tech roles and to support its many new and first-time hiring managers. To address this, they partnered with Datapeople and adopted their recruiting analytics platform to bring a data-driven approach to their hiring.

Datapeople provided the solution by enabling Remitly to create more inclusive job posts and analyze candidate funnel data to mitigate bias. The platform served as an easy-to-adopt tool that provided supportive guardrails for hiring managers, leading to improved job post scores and positive feedback from candidates who felt more included. The partnership with Datapeople provided the critical data infrastructure Remitly needed to quantify its success and continuously improve its hiring practices, strengthening its overall DEI efforts.
