Attract and retain the best and brightest professionals with these effective strategies for diverse talent recruitment

In The Pomegranate Principle: Best Practices in Diversity Recruiting, veteran executive search consultant and DEI expert Rory Verrett writes with clarity and expertise about the best practices in recruiting and retaining diverse talent for your organization. He offers proven, tangible solutions and accessible strategies for making the recruitment and retention of diverse talent the centerpiece of your diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) vision.

Divided into three sections, the book begins with a critical examination of the realities of the 21st-century talent pool, and why, without a detailed strategy, it can be challenging for companies and organizations to recruit diverse talent. The author goes on to explain, in detail, a collection of commonly employed strategies that usually serve to hinder--rather than further--organizations' DEI efforts. Finally, the book concludes with proven and innovative techniques and tools you can implement immediately to start recruiting diverse talent.

You'll also find:

• A hiring handbook for leaders and hiring managers at companies, startups, professional services firms, nonprofits, and universities
• Strategies that anyone can use to advocate for and promote DEI initiatives at their place of work
• The benefits of tapping into the productivity, innovation, and creativity of talent from different generations, ethnic groups, genders, and life experiences

An effective and hands-on resource for hiring managers, Chief Human Resources Officers, Chief Diversity Officers, and other executives and business leaders, The Pomegranate Principle belongs on the bookshelves of every leader who aims to position their organization for success going forward.
