Offering hundreds of diversity and women focused sites to recruit this highly sought after talent pool
NEW YORK CITY, NY— AUGUST 17, 2011 — SmartPost, the innovative online job posting and sourcing product from Bernard Hodes Group, continues to expand its growing e-media library in support of diversity initiatives for its customers.
Finding and attracting diversity talent still remains a top priority for many employers, even as hiring activities have slowed. Diversity recruitment continues to be attached to long-term business critical goals which are tightly aligned to the growth and success of their companies. Employers recognize that the collaboration of different cultures, ideas, and perspectives is an organizational asset that brings forth greater creativity and innovation in their workplace.
As companies look for ways to embrace and drive these diversity initiatives, they must have the right tools to support their HR teams who take the lead on increasing visibility, building employer brand recognition, and attracting these high profile candidates. SmartPost seamlessly supports these efforts by offering recruiters instant and easy access to hundreds of diversity job boards and sourcing destinations.
The SmartPost system identifies, recommends and distributes job openings to the most targeted sites based on several key criteria. Recruiters no longer have to know all the sourcing opportunities available to them as the SmartPost media recommendations engine helps them target only the most relevant sites for their needs. SmartPost also tracks and measures all source of hire data back into their ATS or Talent Management System so recruiting strategies can continue to be honed for ROI and performance.
“By using SmartPost, our customer’s can ensure that diversity initiatives are integrated into the fabric of their recruiting strategies,” said Carmen Doherty, VP and senior director for SmartPost. “Our client’s recognize that in today’s global marketplace they must have access to the best and brightest candidates with varied perspectives, skills, and experiences—and the depth and breadth of the SmartPost e-media library helps them do that.”
Even today, diversity recruiting still includes the efforts companies are making towards hiring more women into their organizations. SmartPost has recently added several leading women-oriented sourcing destinations into its diversity channel, including WomensJobList. WomensJobList successfully matches thousands of job seekers with hundreds of companies all with the common goal of promoting diversity in the workplace and to tear down walls that create barriers to progress for everyone.
“Joining forces with SmartPost will allow WomensJobList to become accessible to an even larger client base and give our candidates access to more companies that seek to promote women inclusion within their workforce,” said Meghan Kirk, Director of Marketing for WomensJobList. “We view our new relationship with SmartPost as a big step forward for the diversity recruiting marketplace.”
