Demographic Questionnaire

At StockX, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is not a program or check-the-box initiative, it is what we stand on, it is our footprint. Our culture honors authenticity of every dimension of diversity. We recognize that it is the very things that make our team members unique that adds value to who we are. We have an intentional focus on incorporating equitable practices and fostering  inclusive communities where our teams can bring their best selves, develop into their potential, and reciprocate the respect and appreciation that enables our business to thrive. 

That focus begins  by building a robust, diverse talent pool across every team at StockX.  As part of that focus, we wish to survey our job applicants to better understand their full profiles.  Below is a set of optional demographic questions for you to review.  Your decision to provide demographic information is entirely yours, and completely independent of the recruitment decision-making process.
