Diversity Recruiters™

We are a local firm that was founded to help employers in the Pacific Northwest find highly qualified and diverse applicants. We understand that, while the Pacific Northwest has one of the most diverse landscapes in the country, its labor force lags behind many other regions in the country with respect to having a diverse population.

Workplace diversity refers to a place of business that has male and female employees from multiple races, ethnicities, age groups, sexual orientation and religious affiliations. Such a business may also include employees who are veterans or have disabilities.

Our company partners with local colleges and universities to capture these graduates, and we also work with our workforce development partners to hand-pick under-employed job seekers who are from diverse backgrounds. Similarly, we continue to expand and grow our database of passive job seekers. These workers are content in their current jobs; however, are very skilled and may be enticed to leave if the right opportunity presents itself. Here are a few facts:

· Nearly 90 percent of employees believe that their organization values diversity. However, more than 70 percent believe that their employer does not do enough to create a diverse and inclusive work environment.

· More than half of employees of all races—and 71 percent of employees of color—attempt to evaluate a prospective employer’s commitment to diversity during the interview process.

· More than 35 percent of people of color who indicated that they examine diversity during the hiring process report having previously withdrawn candidacy or declined a job offer due to a perceived lack of diversity and inclusiveness.

Our deeply held belief is that a diverse workforce promotes productivity, creativity, and significantly boosts the external reputation of businesses. And, we’d be thrilled if you would consider using us to help with your recruiting needs.
