Episode 9
The talent gap predicts a 10 million-person shortfall of “knowledge workers” within five years. Creating an inclusive climate that engages a diversity of the best people is still the optimal long term recruiting tool, since talented people enlist other talented people. While there are no “magic pills” for addressing the growing challenges of recruitment and retention, on this episode of Diversity Matters™ co-hosts Richard Friend and Judy Seidenstein explore a targeted, efficient and innovative approach to diversity recruiting. The Diversity Leaders Power Conference is not just another job fair – it’s the most extensive professional diversity outreach initiative in America. In just 3-hours prescreened candidates are matched with recruiters from 10 companies for dinner, education and a focused conversation about career and advancement opportunities. Joining Richard and Judy are Paul Lien, Founder of the Diversity Leaders Power Conference; Brian Wesley the University Relations Leader for Whirlpool Corporation’s U.S. Functions; and Liliana Cevallos, the first President of The Business and Accounting Latino Association (BALA) at St. Mary’s College of California and currently working for Chevron Corporation
