Diversity Sourcing

1. Diversity Sourcing Part 4
Here is the last in the 4 part series on Diversity Sourcing. We already looked at Women,
African Americans and Hispanic so now let's focus on Native American. As I said in my
previous post 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. Remember
for the purposes of this posting I am focusing on; Women, Hispanic, African American, Native
American. So on to the key words and phrases;

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.
