Case Study: Uncommon Goods advances DEIB and inclusive hiring with Textio

How Uncommon Goods brings DEIB into their workplace, marketplace, and community

Uncommon Goods, an online retailer, sought to holistically integrate diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) into all aspects of its operations, from its workplace and marketplace to its wider community. To support these initiatives, they utilized Textio as a key tool to enhance their inclusive hiring practices.

Using Textio's augmented writing platform, Uncommon Goods improved the inclusivity of its job postings and implemented mandatory inclusive recruiting training for its people team and hiring managers. The solutions from Textio contributed to tangible results, including an increase in hired BIPOC candidates quarter over quarter. Furthermore, Uncommon Goods's broader DEIB strategy, which Textio supports, includes achieving a $20 starting wage, donating over $2.5 million to charity, and building a more representative community of vendors and employees.
