How diverse is?
Why we built HowDiverse?
This project began when a member of the nyala.dev team received an invitation from a prominent British tech unicorn to apply for one of their job openings. Despite the company's stated commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion, a review of their "about us" page revealed a significant lack of racial diversity among their employees' photos. This discovery sparked the creation of HowDiverse.is as a somewhat tongue-in-cheek side project aimed at pointing out the contradictions in the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) conversation within the tech industry.
We quickly realised that our side project could have a more significant impact beyond the tech industry. For those organisations genuinely dedicated to DEI, the starting point must be transparency, which in turn fosters accountability and tangible actions. This is the ultimate goal of HowDiverse.is: to develop tools and provide open data that empower a DEI dialogue that transcends mere corporate checkboxes.

Download the Chrome ExtensionHow does it work?
- Download the Chrome Extension
- Go to a website (i.e. the careers page or who we are pages of a company) and open the extension
- We extract all the images from the page
- We automagically detect all the faces in those images
- We run gender and ethnicity analysis using Artificial Intelligence (Deep Learning)*
- We generate a report with the result.
* We also regularly check the results manually to improve the model because AI, ironically, is racist and lacks diversity.
