In addition to sourcing candidates through traditional methods, you should also target professional organizations and agencies devoted to building a diverse workforce.  Consult the resources below for more broad-based recruiting: 

• Colleges, Universities, and Technical Schools
• Facebook Groups
• Federal, State, and Local Government Agencies

Note: If a position is determined to be underutilized, external advertising is required. Hiring departments are responsible for advertising costs. 

Hiring managers are responsible for:

• Developing a strategy to reach the target audiences necessary to produce a diverse pool
• Monitoring applications to ensure that targeted outreach is yielding candidates with the appropriate qualifications 
• Requesting an interim pool report from a Recruitment Coordinator to determine if there is a diverse pool based on candidate self-identification and whether additional outreach is necessary
