For these reasons, among others, many businesses are turning to diversity job boards to expand their talent pool.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Finding diverse hires is easy when you choose a diversity job board to post your open positions. These boards cater specifically to certain characteristics and demographics of job seekers and help you build a more diverse and inclusive culture.
Yes, diversity hiring is legal when done properly. Protected individuals, such as those with disabilities, race, nationalities, and sexual orientation, are protected against discrimination under various federal laws. For this reason, while you can post jobs on diverse job boards, you should refrain from using language in your job posts that calls out specific types of individuals.
Diversity statements in job postings let job seekers know that you are committed to hiring diverse backgrounds and are an inclusive company. These generally state that the company is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion but can also include other statements like, LGBTQ+-friendly or fair chance employer.
Bottom Line
The first step to having a diverse workforce is attracting candidates from a wide range of demographics. If standard job sites like Indeed are not meeting that need, the diversity job sites listed above can help you cast a larger net and find employees you’ll love.
