How to find diversity candidates on LinkedIn

posted by 
Dakotta - (55)

Multicultural, Diversity, Heterogeneity the 'catch all' phrase every employer strives to be. In doing my online searches, I was looking for a way to track down more candidates via social networks that would not normally go back to check their industry job boards. I mean let's face it, you could be part of a guild or association but would you think to check there often if there was not much employer activity on it? Probably not.

You could essentially end up joining all these organizations and paying annual dues to have access to all the names on the directory  or post on diversity job boards and wait for candidates to come to you …… or you could search for free via their affiliated organization names.


I did a few quick searches to see what I would find.  To my surprise I found that quite a few people actually list the diversity associations they are affiliated with.

 
Being that I work for the Los Angeles Times in the Online Media sector presently here are a few searches I've done on linkedin to gather up some diverse names. Don’t forget you can add this to your Boolean searches too!

 
 
 
happy hunting,
Dakotta
