Help us diversify our talent pool.
Diversity comes in many dimensions, and we know we can improve our representation of various groups. Please refer potential candidates from historically underrepresented groups to help us diversify our talent pool.
People tend to have homogenous inner circles of friends and trusted colleagues, though it’s very likely you’ve worked with talented people of all backgrounds. Spend time to consider referrals from beyond your immediate network.
Always be Closing.
Even if you are certain someone in your network is happy at their current role, things change! It’s always nice to leverage all of our networks and have these initial conversations to keep our referrals and leads warm. That way, when the time comes, our company is on the top of their list.
