Our firm, BlueOutlier, was tasked by the leading company in home rental and experiences to enhance their executive leadership team's diversity. They specifically sought a candidate from an underrepresented minority group with over 20 years of global finance expertise. Additionally, the ideal candidate had to have prior experience at a Fortune 100 company, among other specified qualifications. This recruitment project presented significant challenges due to the rarity of individuals meeting these criteria. Nationally, only 10 candidates fit the bill, and convincing them to relocate to the company's headquarters in San Francisco added another layer of difficulty.
Despite these challenges, our firm successfully identified an exceptional candidate who not only met the requirements but also became a catalyst for positive change within the organization. This diversity leader not only built a finance team consisting of women and individuals from diverse backgrounds but also sparked a chain reaction of further diversity hires, significantly impacting the company's culture for the better.
Research has consistently shown that companies with diverse management teams perform better, with a 19% increase in revenue. Moreover, a survey found that 67% of job seekers prioritize diversity in the workplace when considering job offers.
Partnering with a firm committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is paramount in today's business landscape. BlueOutlier stands ready to meet these crucial needs.
