What You’re Missing by Not Working with a Certified Diverse Staffing Agency

Jun 2

Most companies say they care about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). But if your staffing strategy doesn’t include certified diverse agencies, you might be missing the mark and a lot more.

DEI Isn’t Just a Buzzword

Certified diverse staffing agencies are run by individuals from underrepresented groups, minorities, women, veterans, LGBTQ+ folks, and others. Partnering with these agencies is more than a box to check. It shows you’re investing in real, measurable change.

Access to Wider Talent Pools

These agencies tap into networks that traditional staffing firms often overlook. They bring in candidates with different life experiences, perspectives, and skill sets. That means you're not just hiring differently, you're hiring better.

Innovation Starts with Inclusion

Studies have shown diverse teams are more innovative and make better decisions. Why? Different perspectives lead to stronger problem solving. A 2018 Boston Consulting Group study found companies with more diverse management teams had 19% higher innovation revenues. That’s real money.

Supplier Diversity = Competitive Edge

Working with certified diverse vendors can also help your company meet supplier diversity goals. For large corporations or those working with government contracts, that’s a big deal.

The Bottom Line

Choosing a certified diverse staffing agency means expanding your reach, supporting DEI, and gaining a competitive advantage. It’s not just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing.
