Cultivating Talent from Untapped Communities
6 Feb 2020
By hiring from diverse and underserved communities, a company can boost innovation along with its bottom line.

As companies digitally transform and tech roles infiltrate all industries, corporations and hiring managers need help to fill vacant positions. It’s time to seek alternative pipelines and cultivate talent from untapped communities.
