Former Google Diversity Recruiter April Christina Curley
Manage episode 305754076 series 2633302
Rewind to 2014. Curley, who hails from Columbia, Maryland, was working on her master’s degree at John Hopkins and working at Teach For America, recruiting Black teachers in classrooms with majority Black students. Believing from her experience as a teacher in Baltimore that Black educators made a significant difference in Black students’ lives, Curley was in that role for three years. In that time, she became very familiar with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
That work made her a coveted recruit for Google. The hiring process took all of three weeks, Curley said. In less than a month, she got an offer letter and moved to New York from Baltimore.
