Diversity Sourcing

1. Diversity Sourcing Part 2
We already looked at Women so now let's focus on Hispanic. Remember Diversity
sourcing is a very special skill. You need to have knowledge of were to search or as I have said
in my " Top Ten Rules for Successful Internet Sourcers " post, you need to do your research.
Below are some key words and phrases you can add to any boolean search string that will
increase your chances of finding diverse candidates. For the purposes of this and future posting

2. I am focusing on; Women, Hispanic, African American, Native American. So on to the key
words and phrases;
Hispanic

Remember as I said in my "Words and Phrases to recruit by!!!" blog post, go beyond the basics. Were ever you see an
abbreviation being used also spell it out, it will improve you search results.
Remember this is very easy just take your boolean search string and add on any of the above words or phrases.
example, form my "If You Build It, They Will Come: the story of a successful Boolean search string!!" blog posting, you
have the below. Simply add the part in red and you have a search string that will pull up women that fit all the
requirements in the string.
(title:resume OR title:CV OR title:bio OR title:homepage OR url:resume OR resume) AND NOT
(job OR "career opportunity" OR "equal opportunity employer" OR "employment at" OR EOE
OR "employment opportunity" OR opening OR "submit resume" OR "your resume" OR
"sample resume" OR "career development" OR classified OR book OR books)
AND(Cryptography OR Biometric OR Security OR firewall) AND (Symantec OR Microsoft OR
Norton OR McAfee) And ("Software Engineer" OR "Software Developer" etc...) And (C++ OR C
etc...) And (MAES OR "Society of Mexican American Engineers and Scientists")
In one of my next posting we will look at African Americans as our next diversity sourcing
