Diverse recruitment teams build a diverse workforce.

Both are important because diversity in the workplace reflects the world we live in—forever changed by globalization. Differences matter less by the day and in fact are celebrated because of the expanding perspectives on life and work they bring to us all.

Diversity on a company’s team encourages understanding between executives, managers and employees of different backgrounds, religions, gender and sexual orientation.

"Magic happens,” said HubSpot CTO Dharmesh Shah, “when different but complementary people intersect.

“When you have diverse people and perspectives on your team, your product will benefit. This is because there's a greater likelihood that someone with different experiences will pitch a great idea that you haven't even thought of yet.”

By placing an emphasis on diversity within its own team of recruiters, RecruiterCentral is playing a pivotal role in driving the conversation on diversity in the workplace, and how differences between us strengthen bonds among us.

And by way of its blog and recruiting services, RecruiterCentral shares diversity recruiting tools, methods, techniques, and trends to embolden companies working to strengthen the diversity on their team.

“Our two highest priorities,” said RecruiterCentral Founder and CEO Luke Doubler, “are ensuring that our clients hire the best candidates possible; and ensuring that our diverse team of recruiters is doing all it can to encourage and highlight the benefits of diversity in the workplace.”
