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

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.

Katherine G. Johnson paved the way for Black women in the aerospace industry.
In the white male-dominated NASA, Johnson’s manual calculations are what made astronaut Glenn’s flight and landing a success.
In 2015, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the US, for her work that led black women to work in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, known today as STEM.
Thank you for being a pioneer for your generation and generations to come.

Comfortability in freely expressing your personal identity at work is an unconscious experience for many.
However, only 1 in 4 LGBTQ+ individuals are comfortable being out at work, demonstrating the need for upleveling inclusivity, and fostering a sense of belonging in the workplace.

Happy #pridemonth!
5.4 million adults are living with Autism Spectrum Disorder in America, according to the CDC.
In the last 20 years, ASD diagnoses have increased due to the increased education on ASD rather than the spread of the disorder itself.
The increase in awareness and diagnoses, now more frequently made in children, women, and adults, can help us all better understand the living experiences of someone with ASD; and how best to empower their human experience inside and outside the workplace.
In 2023, approximately 1 in 36 children in the U.S. will be diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

If Aisha Bowe had followed her guidance counselor’s advice, she would have been a cosmetologist...
Instead, she carved her own path. This former NASA rocket scientist is now a serial entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and soon-to-be astronaut. Aisha is the founder and CEO of STEMBoard, an Inc 5000 fastest-growing company in America.

In a world where one can be anything, be Uchechi Kalu.
We`re Kidding (kind of).
Today, Uchechi joined Digital Knack for our DK Learns program.
DK Learns is our Employee Development Program built to engage real-world experts on real-world topics.
Uchechi captivated the DK Team, sharing financial management tips in a realistic, accessible, and applicable way.
Open letter of appreciation:
Uchechi,
You made space for everyone to recognize the complexity of money - the ways our origins, upbringing, and outlook on the world can play into our financial behaviors.
Thanks to you, the DK Crew is fired up to write `smart` financial goals, and everyone feels empowered to secure their own financial systems for success. Your expertise, captivating presence, and generosity are greatly appreciated.
Today, we`re proud to make a charitable contribution to
3rd Decade in gratitude of Uchechi and in support of making financial education a reality for all.
With love,
Cass and the rest of your DK Learners
