8 Great Job Boards for Diverse Professionals

With the nation’s attention focused on racial justice, a growing number of hiring managers are actively working to recruit a diverse work force. As part of that, many are postings openings on websites that prioritize recruiting people of color — a signal that they are looking beyond the usual channels to find a wider range of candidates. According to Dante Lee, founder and CEO of BlackJobs.com, a recruitment website, his company is currently working with more than 500 employers across the country. “All of them are actively hiring and all of them want to be more inclusive,” Lee said. These are some of the top diversity recruitment websites for college grads:

BlackJobs.com, based in Columbus, Ohio, and San Diego, California, recruits for African American applicants. Its goal is to “promote well-paying job opportunities … to help reduce the high rate of unemployment in Black communities.” The site provides links for users to apply for professional jobs available around the country, in a broad range of industries. Job seekers can create a profile and sign up for job alerts.
