We’re committed to addressing bias in our interview process, and have implemented inclusive capabilities as part of our candidate evaluation process. We’re determined to bring qualified candidates from a range of backgrounds into Twitch, so we’ve invested in more diverse sourcing and continue to seek opportunities to improve.

We currently have eight guilds: Asian Guild, Access Ability Guild, Black Guild, Somos LATAM Guild, Parents Guild, Rainbow Road Guild, Veterans Guild, and Women+ Guild.
