Diversity hiring is more important than ever. Companies are now specifying diversity as a criterion when considering candidates. Yet these companies are finding difficulties locating top talent in this arena.

“Creating a workplace and management atmosphere to better reflect the demographics of the global marketplace is not as easy as one thinks,” says Cary Weltken, Director of Business Development at US Diversity.

However, with the release of US Diversity’s new predictive search technology and other automated enhancements, that job has just become easier.
US Diversity enables corporations and businesses to completely automate their diversity hiring. The new system eliminates cold-calling, manual resume searching and screening, initial candidate contact, non-qualifying candidates applying for the wrong positions, and resume spam. All with sophisticated reporting and tracking.

“It seems that much of the new technology being written for the Human Resource community fails to include and involve diversity hiring. We are changing that notion here at US Diversity," says Weltken.
US Diversity starts with the largest and most diverse database of candidates seeking employment positions.

The company then utilizes the latest in “predictive” artificial intelligence software; extracting important resume data through a series of over 200 parsing elements. It can identify and separately categorize each resume by distinctive elements including skills, specific objectives, longitude and latitude coordinates for location matching, education, and length of time on each previous job.

With all of this information keyed into its database, US Diversity can provide incredible matching of candidates directly to open employment requisitions.

US Diversity’s automation technology offers additional benefits to job seekers. Candidates no longer have to fill out time-consuming forms or constantly revisit a website to learn about new job opportunities. Through automated email alerts and job notifications, candidates are kept up-to-date on position openings that are specifically matched to their skills, experience and career objectives.

“We have basically eliminated recruiter cold-calls and job posting data-entry. The only calls or emails recruiters will be receiving are from those who are interested and qualified for the position,” says Weltken.
Our first release is a group of 9 diversity sites covering the entire spectrum of diversity. We will be placing our exciting new search product into production by the first quarter of 2003.

Many new and exciting things are planned for US Diversity. We look forward to serving our existing job posting customers as well as new customers who are learning about us for the first time.
