Diversity Filter Enhances Candidate Experience

Job search engine and recruitment advertising network, Simply Hired, announces that job seekers are now able to refine their job search to consist only of employers featured on the Top 50 Companies for Diversity list released annually by DiversityInc, a diversity and business publication. Diversity within businesses has become an increasingly hot topic over the past few years. The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has enforced more stringent employment laws requiring companies to extend all applicants equal opportunity for employment. "The diversity filter is a useful tool that benefits both job seekers and employers," says Simply Hired’s director of product development, Sachin Shah. "Not only does it reassure job seekers that the companies are in OFCCP compliance, but the filter allows employers to obtain highly qualified, diverse candidates," Shah adds. Simply Hired currently reaches a wide range of candidates through its expansive network of over 5,000 website partners that include social networks, blogs, content sites and more. Employers can tap into thousands of different applicant pools to attract diverse candidates through targeted niche sites. The reach of the Simply Hired network includes sites for various ethnic backgrounds (MyBlackNetworks.com, FilipinoNation.com, SeattleIndian.com), women (theglasshammer.com), sexual orientations (LezTown.com, OutForWork.com), military (soldiers.ning.com), the over 50 crowd (retirementcommunity.com, encore.com) and many others. Furthermore, Simply Hired's Diversity filter will provide results only from companies that DiversityInc deemed the most dedicated to diversity in the workplace.
