Case Study: Tailored Recruitment Strategies for a Diverse Workforce

Business Challenge

In the pursuit of fostering a more equitable workforce, a major market in the western United States, renowned for its rich diversity, recognized the need to enhance its recruitment strategies. As one of the most diverse cities in the country, the client understands that a representative workforce is essential not only for effective governance but also for building trust within the community. To achieve this goal, they are seeking a strategic partnership with a firm that specializes in developing and implementing robust Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives tailored to their specific context.

DEI is a top priority for this client. They are looking for a partner that embodies a strong commitment to DEI, with proven methodologies that align with their vision and operational needs. The ideal firm would provide innovative solutions to address barriers in the recruitment process, such as unconscious bias in hiring practices and limited outreach to underrepresented groups.

Solution

LHH Recruitment Solutions demonstrates a strong commitment to DEI across all business areas, prioritizing workplace equality and ensuring access to opportunities for everyone. Our extensive experience, having placed over 900 associates last year in this region, informs our recruitment strategies tailored to diverse needs.

We collaborate with various cultural, socioeconomic, gender, and military groups and actively engage in community outreach to support underrepresented populations. To effectively meet our client’s diversity goals, we prioritize meaningful conversations to fully understand their objectives. By customizing our approach, we aim to develop a sustainable diversity framework that drives impactful change within their organization.

Results

Out of 24 prospective bidders, five top firms were selected including LHH Recruitment Solutions. This partnership secured a five-year contract, and we started receiving job orders from this client within two weeks of the contract being fully executed.

In this global economy, we all gain more opportunities and advantages when we’re exposed to a wider variety of experiences, diverse thinking, and perspectives. We grow from what we go through – and, at LHH, we’ve been through and grown quite a bit in more than 50 years.
