Workforce Hiring & Applicants Tracking Process
Building a diverse workforce starts with our recruiting efforts and providing continuous education to our employees on embracing and celebrating the cultural differences of our employees.
Prospective candidates are provided options to disclose their nationality, gender, and veteran status to ensure that we have diversity in the mix of candidates we submit to our clients. We strive to:
- Increase diversity at every level of our organization to better reflect our customer base and the communities we serve.
- Drive and measure the impact diversity and inclusion has on business results.
- Recognize, maximize and reward behaviors that foster a diverse and inclusive culture.
