on sites like Hispanic Online (www.hisp.com), Microsoft Black
Entertainment Television (www.msbet.com), or Women Connect
(www.womenCONNECT.com).

Job fairs and open house hiring events can be a very effective
way to source a large number of candidates at one time as well.
National directories of career fairs are available from recruitment
advertising agencies and chambers of commerce in most major metropolitan areas. Following are some opportunities typically found,
for example, in the Los Angeles area that might be offered in your
area as well:

Remember the golden rule about diversity initiatives: It’s not only about companies doing the socially responsible thing. More important, it’s all about maximizing growth and profitability. After
all, the only way you can sell to a diverse customer base is to understand its preferences, attitudes, and inclinations firsthand. When your workforce mirrors your clients, customers, or the consumers you sell to, there’s a natural symbiosis that fosters a cooperative and mutually beneficial business relationship. That translates into dollars and cents for your company’s top-line revenues.
