How do I know where to recruit to get the best diverse pool of applicants?
Outreach is a collaborative effort between the hiring department and Employment and Outreach Services/Human Resources. To ensure sufficient time is given to develop an effective recruitment plan to reach diverse, prospective applicants, the department should begin exploring recruitment options well in advance of the actual posting, particularly if your position requires specialized skills. You may contact your Employment and Outreach Consultant/Recruiter in HR to discuss recruitment strategy, community affiliations, professional organizations, activities, internet job boards, and targeted minority media, publications, churches, state agencies, Chamber of Commerce organizations to name a few. In addition, we recommend you partner with Employment and Outreach Services by attending upcoming job fairs and special events to develop personal contacts for future recruitments.
