Isolating, identifying and qualifying the right recruits--especially in a diverse talent pool– is a challenging task that requires experience and innovation. In addition to traditional sources, such as candidate pools and the internet– recruiting top talent for a diverse workplace requires some methods that go “outside the box”, including:

* establishing networks with diverse communities

* sponsoring job fairs– both real and virtual– which tap into minority communities.

* forming liaisons and cooperatives with ethnic specialty groups and associations (such as the National Society of Black Engineers)

* participating in employment exchanges with candidate groups as part of a nationwide network of diversity specialists

* cultivating candidate resources with ethnic and minority colleges and university alumni.

The LaMonte Owens executive search strategy increases organizational effectiveness and provides a competitive advantage that can substantially reduce the risk of poor selection. Better selection results in lower employee turnover and reduced operating cost.

To multi-national corporations with facilities around the world and across the nation, workforce diversity is not a fad. It’s a working concept that has become part of the fabric of company culture. There are several substantive reasons why workforce diversity is being embraced by the nation’s largest corporations.

The LaMonte Owens, Inc. organization, a recognized expert in the field of DIVERSITY RECRUITING, has created an On-Line Diversity Recruiting Station for those diversity candidates looking for a better career path.
