Hi Everyone! I hope that we all had a great holiday weekend and did not over eat or drink - well maybe a little overeating and drinking (no hangovers please).

Anywhoo...I have been tasked with researching how to build greater branding and recruiting of diverse and female candidates for my company. Some background, I work for a Fortune 500 utility company in Northeast Ohio. Our challenge is that one of our KPI's are the number of diverse/female candidates. At the midpoint of the year, we are not at threshold (minimum) to hit this number. Currently we are using Monster's Diversity package, but I have found that for us (the organization in general and Recruiting department in particular) to have an influence on the diversity KPI we have to establish local, regional, and then national organizations. Has anyone developed and rolled out programs like this? I am more than willing to share the strategy I have developed for establishing this program, but I am hoping to gain additional insights from my fellow practioners.

Thanks

David H. Turner
