Diversity Recruiting with Outbound Recruiting Tactics

One misconception about diversity recruiting is that it only applies to hiring women and minorities, but there’s more to diversity recruitment. Diversity recruiting and hiring is a recruiting strategy that demonstrates the act of proactively seeking out job candidates who are from diverse backgrounds while taking necessary steps to ensure the talent acquisition processes are inclusive and unbiased. With an outbound recruiting strategy, you can meet your DE&I initiatives and also create an inclusive workplace for all. 

Studies have shown that companies that practice effective diversity hiring strategies lead to noticeable benefits. According to Cowen Partners Executive Search, companies with a diverse management team report earnings that are 19% above the average of less diverse workplaces and 68% of job seekers consider diversity one of the critical factors when looking for a new job.

✅A positive and inclusive workplace

DE&I does not stop at talent acquisition, it continues with the organization and how leaders ensure everyone is welcome and respected despite their differences.
