Diversity job boards help you learn how to create a more diverse workplace and find qualified job applicants from underrepresented groups. It has been proven over and over, directly linking to benefits such as higher retention rates and increased financial performance. To achieve a more diverse workplace, leaders are encouraged to create diversity mentorship programs, increase training on microaggressions and cultural differences, and implement (and continually analyze) diversity metrics, among others.
However, diversity efforts shouldn’t be limited to post-hire. To build a diverse talent pipeline, leaders should also implement diversity strategies during recruitment. For example, when attracting talent to your organization, you should access diverse job boards, making sure you’re attracting qualified job applicants from underrepresented groups.
