Figma: Building an inclusive talent pipeline

Figma’s mission is to make design accessible to everyone and ensure young talent from diverse backgrounds are the cultural leaders of the fast-growing company. Earlier this year, they launched their University Program to create meaningful internships and new grad experiences for the next generation of leaders. Figma partnered with Byteboard to increase their offer rates to diverse talent and reduce engineering time spent interviewing.

Challenges

With the launch of their University Program this year, one of Figma’s main challenges was how to quickly move talented candidates through their pipeline to result in offers. The interview process involved a technical phone screen along with three technical interviews for the final round that cumulatively required a significant investment of time and resources from our engineering and recruiting teams. Another challenge was putting together an interview for the top of their funnel that fairly allowed candidates to demonstrate their skills. Figma wanted to find the right tool that would enable them to improve their time to hire while also ensuring all candidates had a fair, positive, and engaging experience throughout their interview process.
