Monster(R), the global online careers and recruitment resource and flagship brand of Monster Worldwide, Inc. announced that its diversity resume database now features more than one million active resumes. An integral component of Monster’s Diversity and Inclusion suite of recruitment products, the resume database helps employers foster and promote diversity in the workplace.
Cultivating and maintaining a diverse workforce is increasingly being viewed as a key strategy for business growth and development, as diversity spurs innovation, more closely aligns a company to its customer base, and improves overall morale and retention, said Steve Pemberton, Chief Diversity Officer, Monster. We are, therefore, focused on building our diverse job seeker talent pool to offer employers a spectrum of diversity, comprised of workers representing all occupational categories and from all geographical locations. Our efforts to grow the diversity resume database have proven so successful we anticipate the next million to come at a faster rate than the first.
Of all the sources available to me, more than half of my diverse candidate slate come from tapping into the Monster Diversity resume database, said Charlotte Jones, Diversity Champion for Merrill Lynch Recruitment. It’s a powerful resource, and saves me a tremendous amount of time, as I can find qualified, diverse candidates right in our area.
Through alliances with various trade shows, offline media and online sites like BlackPlanet.com, Hire Disability and Hispanic Online, Monster continuously reaches out to various diverse job seeker segments to encourage users to post their resumes.
