Shaniqua Davis was tired of not landing jobs she felt qualified for. So she woke up one day and decided to do something about it. She founded Noirefy, a platform that helps match diverse tech talent with companies interested in finding those resources. The platform is free for job seekers, and revenue for the company comes in the form of finders' fees. Revenue also comes in the form of coaching and consulting with companies to foster more diverse and inclusive workplaces, so that they become a more attractive workplace to hire and retain that talent.
Shaniqua joins The Savvy Entrepreneur to share the story of how she founded the company, some of the challenges of mostly bootstrapping a startup, and dealing with the sensitive issues surrounding diversity and inclusion. It's an inspiring story, showing how people like Shaniqua are helping our world change and improve, one step at a time.
