2010 Corporate Diversity Report
Posted by Jason
Diversity Recruiting continues to be on both Executives and Recruiting minds. It’s also on the mind of Senator Robert Menendez, our only Hispanic Senator. Menendez recently stated “As Chair of the Senate Democratic Hispanic Task Force, one of my top priorities has always been promoting and expanding diversity at all levels of our economic, political and social sectors.”
So, he surveyed senior executives and senior management from Fortune 500 companies earlier this year, and last week unveiled the results on women and minority representation among the senior management of Fortune 500 companies, as well as their use of minority and women-owned businesses in the contracting and procurement process.

70 Million Needles in the Haystack

Have you ever stopped to think about how much LinkedIn caused a tipping point in both agency and corporate recruiting? What use to be the private commodity of agency recruiters, their database of people now resides freely accessible by corporate recruiters via the web. There is no control over the candidate and what they may post, offering corporate recruiters the same or even greater access to potential candidates as agencies.
Just a few tweaks to their processes and corporate recruiters can offer a robust pipeline and higher levels of service than ever before. With access to 70 Million Profiles, Recruiters have no excuse for not networking with or engaging talent.
As a previous agency recruiter I used LinkedIn consistently to grow my network for warm leads. When it came to finding the needle in the haystack IT hire, LinkedIn was the first source. Highly complex searches that involved finding a subject matter expert, no problem let me tap into my network. In using the advanced search capability recruiters are able to locate more than just candidates, they can use the function for determining market data and competitor lists.
LinkedIn gave Recruiters a platform for locating people, real people they know something about.
There are 70 Million Needles in the Haystack, there’s no excuse to not get motivated and get networking!
