Google must boost hiring of women, Blacks, and Hispanics as data show 1%, 2%, and 3% of employment respectively

In an effort to increase diversity, Google increased tech hires by 1 percent of women, 2 percent from Black communities, and 3 percent from Hispanic background.

The company revealed that 21 percent of hires they made last year were women having technical positions. Overall, the company has a workforce of 70% men and 30% women.

Google reportedly admitted that there is something wrong about the composition of its manpower and chose to be "candid about the issues" plaguing in the company.

The search engine company was having a hard time addressing, not only gender gap, but allegations about a "broad lack of inclusiveness" that is affecting minorities.

On Monday, Google said that Black and Hispanic employees were increased, which outpaced the company's total hiring growth. Two percent are now made up of Black personnel, and 3 percent of Hispanic workers.

The company is still aiming to increase the diversity of its workforce. They said, "Though we still have a long way to go, we're seeing some early progress."

The company gave details about the hires they made and it showed that, in 2010, 14 percent of the Software Engineers they employed by outreach at colleges and universities were women. Since that time, Google invested $3 million in Anita Borg Scholarships that were given for women pursuing computer science degrees as well as making efforts in building a community of women in the field of technology. This resulted to a 22 percent of women software engineers hired last year by campus outreach, which outpaced the percentage of women pursuing CS degrees today (18 percent).

On the other hand, Google "doubled the number of universities" to recruit more Black and Hispanic employees in order to accelerate representation. They also strengthened their "partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities." Further, their Black and Hispanic communities working on the technical side reportedly increased by 39 percent in the U.S., than the previous 28 percent tech growth overall. The company's non-technical teams grew by 17 percent in 2014, with the Black community composing of 38 percent and Hispanic by 22 percent.

Google's vice president of people operations Nancy Leet told USA Today, "The long game for Google is expanding the pool of women and minorities going into computer science."

In its Google+ post, the company promised to "build a workforce more reflective of the diversity of people we serve."

As per data dated Dec. 31, Google had 53,600 full-time employees.
