A reactive hiring approach can compromise your ability to locate and objectively assess candidates, thus leading to costly turnover . The key to recruiting is to always be recruiting so that you are prepared to replace an employee who unexpectedly quits or becomes ill. The same concept applies to diversity hires. In particular, if your organization is not particularly diverse, there is a need to develop relationships that will enhance diversity -- WE can assist in creating those relationships and remember, every connection made is an opportunity to promote your organization's commitment to diversity and inclusion.
