A BIPOC Researcher Checklist
Given the increased need for BIPOC researchers, Insights in Color wanted to provide a way to empower prospects, candidates and job seekers with a list of factors to consider when navigating new job opportunities.
This list is meant to:
1. Establish a foundational set of factors for BIPOC research and insights professionals to consider when seeking or transferring to a new role.
​
2. Provide a comprehensive way for researchers of color to examine how the outward facing statements made by a company may or may not match their actions or efforts especially when it comes to diversity and inclusion.
​
3. Arm BIPOC researchers with the right consideration tools to make better, well-informed judgement calls on the companies & departments seeking our unique talents and expertise.
