Did you know that women apply for open jobs only if they think they meet 100 percent of the criteria listed? Men will apply to that same posting if they feel they meet 60 percent of the requirements.

We know that not everyone comes from the same background, has had the same experiences, or education, and we wouldn’t want it any other way. Don’t worry about checking every single box, instead we want you to bring your own unique outlook to the team, whatever that might be!
