Diversity hiring shouldn’t be a roadblock for your HR team. With the right tools and job boards on your side, you can build a team full of talented people and fully integrate diversity hiring into your process in no time flat.
You aren’t just hitting your compliance numbers here. You are expanding your team to include top talent from all different backgrounds and cultures, giving your team the boost it needs to be at the top of the industry.
Teams that are diverse challenge the status quo of the “normal” workplace and in turn, give your company the leg up in ingenuity and skill.
In today’s climate, diversity hiring isn’t just something you need to think about implementing into your hiring process. It is the key to the overall success of your business. Employees from different cultures and backgrounds strengthen your team and build valuable relationships among internal teams.
Why use diversity job boards?
Aren’t other jobs boards diverse? Don’t they house candidates from all over looking for great opportunities?
Sure they do. But the fact is that when you don’t seek out diverse candidates, you are liable to keep pulling in the same types of candidates that are the main demographic for certain types of jobs.
Take tech teams. Only 38% think that D&I initiatives work in their primary team. That leaves almost two-thirds of tech teams in need of diverse talent.
When you include D&I initiatives in your hiring process, you are effectively:
- Creating a workforce with greater profitability and value creation, with diversity at the executive level being 33% more likely to have above-average profitability
- Harboring a team of excellent individuals that are gender, age, and ethnically diverse makes better decisions up to 87% of the time.
- Build an inclusive environment where employees feel more appreciated, heard, and comfortable sharing their ideas. Where they feel they can be their authentic selves.
“For me, it’s business first, and business as a vehicle to achieve social justice and civil rights.” – Todd Sears on the changing forecast of D&I Initiatives
