The Federal Reserve Board of Governors is under pressure to improve its hiring practices after a report from its inspector general (IG).
The report highlighted a decline in diversity among late-stage job applicants at the Board.
The inspector general has made seven recommendations to improve the Board's hiring process, including anonymising resumes and providing mandatory training for hiring managers.
The lack of diversity in the Federal Reserve's upper ranks has raised concerns about its ability to reflect the population it serves and promote diverse perspectives.
