Our approach is simple:
Words create meaning, actions make impact.
Digital Knack is a female-founded, inclusive company. We’re insatiably curious and mindful of the human experience that every recruitment effort entails.
We don’t sacrifice quality. We run with operational efficiency, tech tools (built and curated), and behavioral science theories. Our relentless effort is to care the most and be the best at what we do — with the results to show for it.
We bring inclusivity to innovation.
Diversity is not an option. It drives growth and reduces strategic oversight – while building successful, dynamic teams. By bringing together the widest range of thought, experience, and background possible, we build better teams.
To us, recruiting responsibly is
- Renouncing tokenized hiring norms
- Actively expanding opportunity access
- Learning identities rather than assigning them
- Hiring for business need and coachability
- Working with respect, humility, and honesty
Diversity
Belonging
Equity
Inclusion

#pridemonth
The first documented U.S. gay rights organization, The Society for Human Rights (SHR), was founded in 1924 by Henry Gerber, a German immigrant.
In 1966, three years before Stonewall, members of The Mattachine Society, an organization dedicated to gay rights, staged a “sip-in” where they openly declared their sexuality at taverns, daring staff to turn them away and suing establishments who did. When The Commission on Human Rights ruled that gay individuals had the right to be served in bars, police raids were temporarily reduced.
Though the Stonewall uprising didn’t start the gay rights movement, it inspired Pride Month’s ultimate home in June, and was a galvanizing force for LGBT political activism, leading to numerous gay rights organizations, including the Gay Liberation Front, Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD (formerly Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), and PFLAG (formerly Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays).
For our freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom to worship, freedom to assemble, freedom to petition, freedom of the press and more. On #MemorialDay, we remember those who gave their lives to pursue and protect our freedoms.
@foodsharevc is fighting food insecurity in our community, and we`re proud to support their mission. Together, we can ensure everyone in Ventura County has a chance to live a healthy, nourished life.

With more than half of the total US workforce being women, the gender gap in tech is not a matter of a lower population.
Nor is it a matter of women being uneducated or disinterested in tech (as we`re seeing record-breaking numbers of women pursuing careers in tech companies and positions worldwide).
So the real question is - why is there such a gap today, and what can we do to empower the aspiring future women in?
Today, we thank organizations like AnitaB.org that strive to serve women and non-binary technologists by driving inclusive technology.
