Recruitment / Diversity
Posted by: Robin Korogi on May 11, 2008 at 8:50AM EST

Organization has a employee recruitment incentive program for hard to fill occupations.

Depending on the occupation, if the employee successfully recruits a candidate and they stay for 6 months, the incentive is paid out.

Next challenge is how to include diversity into this mix ....

In SLC it is a challenge to attract diverse applicants as the population majority is white.

Thinking of adding a category to the already existing recruitment incentive program for those underrepresented categories (i.e. black male, black female, etc).     Thinking of expanding the diversity piece to include ANY position for the diversity part.

Has anyone had any experience using diversity in an employee incentive recruitment program?

I'm not sure if our experience falls under the diversity category. Our facility does recruit and adhere to the Indian Preference Act of Public Law that essentially provides for equally qualified candidates to provide hiring preference to American Indian or Alaskan Natives if two qualified candidates apply for the same job. The AI/AN candidate must provide proof of ancestry with a tribal enrollment card or certificate of indian blood (CIB) from the US Federal Government. This is a way to increase the recruitment of AI/AN's. So, I suppose this is a built-in way to recruit diverse applicants. The downside of this is that other under-represented ethnic groups do not have a similar/nationally-approved preference provision, so this can cause animosity among people.
