New Job Site Delivers Diversity Jobs from 30 Job Boards

June 23, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
FT. LAUDERDALE, FL – June 23, 2007 – LatPro is proud to announce the official launch of DiversityJobs.com, the first and only vertical job search engine dedicated to the entire spectrum of diverse jobseekers. The new meta job search site launched with job listings from over 30 elite job boards, hitting the ground running in its mission to connect ethnic and diversity groups with employers committed to fostering a diverse workplace.

DiversityJobs.com is the newest addition to the LatPro, Inc. family of diversity Web sites, which includes LatPro.com, the #1 job board for Hispanic and bilingual professionals. As one of the first entrants into the field of online diversity recruiting, the experts at LatPro drew on 10 years of experience in the online employment industry to recognize and fill the need for a vertical job board specifically for diverse candidates.

"We have seen how difficult it is for job boards not targeted to a diverse audience to attract minority candidates, and we created DiversityJobs.com to solve that problem,” says Eric Shannon, founder and CEO of LatPro. “Our job board partners can now offer employers value-added exposure to diverse candidates without having to invest in the extensive marketing and content development needed to effectively reach this segment of jobseekers."

DiversityJobs.com is free for jobseekers and features minority employment news and commentary, diversity bloggers, an events calendar and job listings from the best job boards online. Polls and forum discussions allow users to vote on current diversity issues and discuss workplace diversity challenges.

The site operates on the same principle as other vertical job search engines like Indeed.com and SimplyHired.com: participating job boards designate pay-per-click bid amounts for chosen keywords to increase visibility for their jobs. But there is one important difference: DiversityJobs.com attracts a truly diverse audience of minority jobseekers and ranks at the top all three major search engines (Google, Yahoo and MSN) when users search for “diversity jobs.”

DiversityJobs.com provides in-depth reporting and budgeting tools for member job boards so they can easily track the effectiveness of their PPC campaigns and adjust bid amounts at any time.

Over 30 job boards already appear on DiversityJobs.com. The roster, which is growing every day, includes:

- The Ladders
- LatPro.com
- RetirementJobs.com
- HEALTHeCAREERS Network
- HealthCareSource.com
- hCareers.com
- Net-Temps
- AllRetailJobs
- plus many more

The DiversityJobs.com meta search allows diverse candidates to find high-quality career opportunities from thousands of companies in one place. With a single click, diversity jobseekers can view positions from a variety of top employers, including many who consistently gain recognition as “Top Companies for Diversity” such as Prudential Financial, Toyota, Merck & Co., and Kaiser Permanente.
