12. What have we learned? Overall, very few notable differences between males and females. Gen Y(18-30) has the most differences when compared to both the Gen Xers (31-45) and the Baby Boomers (46-64). Advancement opportunity is a bigger factor in employment for minorities than it is for Caucasians. Asians and Caucasians find personal fit with boss a bigger factor in employment than Hispanics or African-Americans. Different search strategies are used by all job seekers without one strategy being utilized more than another.

AWhat do you think about when you think about workplace diversity? Most people only think about race and gender because that is where the majority of the legal ramifications can come into play. To be a fully effective and productive workforce, there are actually many more factors that an organization must think about when wanting to diversify the workforce.
BWhile Personified has many different research studies today we will be focusing mainly on three data sets, Applicant Experience, Standard Demographic Survey and Personified Diversity Study. AES – is an online survey that measures an applicants experience with an organization spanning the organizations employment brand, candidate demographic flow, advertisement effectiveness, recruiting team effectiveness, and process efficiency. This analytic tool captures candidate feedback at two points in the recruiting process. First, 24 hours after they click on the apply button and finally 28 days after they apply These two time points measure different parts of the recruiting process. To date we have collected over 1.7 million data points across all industries. The standard demographic survey is a measure that identifies an organizations target talent based on their employment needs. Through internal metrics and a standard survey Personified works to identify how an organizations target talent searches for an organization, what search strategies are important to them and how the organizations demographic flow compares to the industry as well as their target talent competition. To date we have almost 33,000 respondents. Personified conducts weekly surveys to diverse populations. Most recently a Diversity study was conducted in order to measure the what diversity initiatives were prevalent within organizations based on hiring managers responses as well as what diversity initiatives were most important to job seekers. These three studies will be our main focus today.
BNo major differences between gender. Most age differences are between the upper and lower age groups. Ethnic differences do exist. In the following slides we will go into much more detail on how you can leverage this information to affect the recruiting strategy within your organization.
BA well known local bank in the Chicago area noticed that their recruiting efforts were lacking ethnic diversity - specifically they were unable to attract African Americans. Working with Personified they were able to identify that there was a tremendous supply of their diverse target talent in the metro areas where they were recruiting; however, their messaging was not reaching this audience. Through custom surveys and diversity statistics, Personified was able to identify the disconnection between their existing message & what factors were important to this population. Personified worked with the client to re-message their recruiting campaigns and strategies as well as to identify new ways to reach this audience. Within weeks of the study, the organization experienced more diverse populations in their applicant pool.
BThere were no noticeable differences when looking at genderGen Y (18-30) rank personal fit with boss as one of the top reasons for applying to a position when compared to all older generations (Gen X and Boomers)Whereas Boomers rank company reputation and work-life balance more important than Gen Y and X31-45 (Gen X)No noticeable differences when compared to the two other age groups.
BWhere we found the greatest insights was when we looked at differences between different ethnicities. For African Americans, when tailoring your strategy focus on: Advancement Opportunities SalaryFor Caucasians focus on: Industry Location Personal fit with the boss
BFor Asians: Advancement opportunities Personal fit with bossFor Hispanics: Advancement opportunities While this only provides a blue print it is important to notice what factors are important to different demographic groups. Also, take into consideration what factors you can truly impact. While location might be important to your target talent most organizations are not flexible on where they are located. Ensure that your message is tailored to your audience in order to maximize your recruiting efforts and resources.
AIt is important to maximize the ability to get in front of your target talent through varied outlets such as, job boards, professional sites, networking groups, etc. Diverse populations utilize different search strategies to maximize their employment search and because of this it is important to know how your target talent are searching for jobs.
AQuestion asked was “When looking for a job how likely are you to use the following search strategies?”Ex.Demo-specific site—Jobs and Moms, Black Career ZoneSocial networking site—Facebook, MySpace31-45No noticeable differences46-64No noticeable differencesNote: These strategies discussed had significant differences between the groups, but overall are used less frequently than other search strategies.Online job board, employer site, informal networking and industry-specific site were the top strategies used at an overall level.
AFemales: Demographic Specific Sites18-30: Social networking sites (personal fit with boss)46-64: (company reputation, work-life balance)Caucasians: Social networking sites (personal fit with boss, industry, location)African-Americans: Demo specific site, career fairs (salary, advancement opportunities)Hispanic: Demo specific sites, social networking sites (advancement opportunities)Asian: Demo specific sites, social networking, professional networking sites (personal fit with boss, advancement opportunities)
A&BOne of the pieces we do not have time to share with you is the internal view of your recruiting team and what their impact is on the job seeker. …..Use professionalism, enthusiasm, knowledge as talk to points for interaction of organization. It is important to know why certain diverse populations are applying to organizations. This can help your organization create a competitive recruiting strategy to better maximize your recruiting focus. Ask your target talent!Note: These strategies discussed had significant differences between the groups, but overall are used less frequently than other search strategies.Online job board, employer site, informal networking and industry-specific site were the top strategies used at an overall level. Thus, these differences are important to discuss, but should be considered in the larger picture of overall search strategy usage by talent. There were no differences to note between the top search strategies, meaning that all groups seem to use the top search strategies in the same frequency and our recommendations as far as search strategy differences are concerned should be in addition to utilizing the top ones, not in lieu of.The best way to find out information about talent is to ask them…survey them to get the information you need to know to make your recruitment strategy as effective as possible
