Black Tech Pipeline is a job board, talent directory, and newsletter that helps companies build more inclusive pipelines and workplaces by connecting them with qualified Black tech talent. Founded by Pariss Chandler in 2020.
Our mission is to increase the visibility, access, and retention of qualified but often underestimated technologists by promoting entry and advancement into tech and leadership. We partner with companies and initiatives focused on expanding representation and opportunity across teams, companies, and the industry so everyone can grow and thrive.
Let’s work together to make your pipeline and workplace reflect the world we live in.
#BlackTechTwitter, forming overnight in real time, created eagerness and excitement from employers wanting to build more inclusive hiring pipelines and workplaces by bringing awareness to their opportunities to this new-found community. Pariss volunteered to help recruit her members into various companies in her spare time for two years which eventually lead to her leaving Software Engineering to launch Black Tech Pipeline.
Since Black Tech Pipeline’s launch in 2020, Black Tech Pipeline has partnered with over 200 companies through our job board, newsletter and recruitment service. Our platform serves hiring teams looking to expand how they source and engage talent, and also Black technologists seeking access to jobs, career resources and programs, events and more.
In 2017, Pariss broke into tech through a coding bootcamp in Boston, MA. After completing her program and entering the tech workforce, it became difficult to assimilate in the workplace due to the major lack of diversity and inclusive practices.
Following the successful mobilization of her viral #BlackTechTwitter community and hashtag in 2018, and the ongoing efforts to increase Black tech representation through Black Tech Pipeline, Pariss’ work has garnered attention from numerous media outlets, including Forbes, Business Insider, Boston Globe, and Boston Business Journal, among others.
