Carl J. Taylor & Co., a Dallas based executive search and recruiting firm, indicates that many companies and organizations with diversity recruiting initiatives for their boards of directors and management positions are often needing to work extra hard in the current challenging recruiting environment.
DALLAS, July 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Many companies and organizations have realized that diversity recruiting for their boards of directors and their mid and senior level management hires is not a policy that they "should do" or that they are "required to do". As their employee and customer/client bases evolve to reflect the changes in the marketplace, they have developed a deep appreciation of the value of adding directors and management from a variety of ethnic, gender, and other diversity backgrounds.
Carl Taylor is president of Carl J. Taylor & Co., a Dallas based executive search and recruiting firm, which has extensive experience assisting companies and organizations in identifying and attracting candidates to serve in board of directors roles and key mid and senior level management positions.
In his discussions with clients and others, Taylor is hearing a consistent story from those organizations with a commitment to diversity hiring. "The successful companies realize that their credibility in recruiting new employees and in serving new and/or existing customers or clients is enhanced by their demonstration of actually developing and maintaining a diversified leadership team. Part of their brand includes a proven commitment to diversity. They aren't just talking about it, they walk the walk" said Taylor.
Taylor notes that many of these companies have a history of successfully hiring top quality diversity candidates and other top candidates who appreciate the organization's commitment to diversity leadership. Furthermore, companies, especially service-oriented organizations, often have an advantage in attracting and maintaining clients because their diversity mirrors the composition of the client organization.
In this challenging, competitive recruitment environment, the pursuit of appropriate diversity candidates can add to the difficulty of identifying and attracting key leadership professionals. However, the trade-off for this additional time and effort will result in more quality candidate hires and quality clients. The companies which are committed to a genuine diversity organization are willing to make this additional effort because of the successes of employing this policy.
