US diversity and inclusion platform ColorComm has announced the launch of an online recruiting platform for multicultural talent in communications.

ColorComm Search has been created for employers “committed to creating a more diverse workforce in the communications, marketing, advertising, media and creative industries”. Candidates are directly connected to hiring managers at leading companies, where inclusion is prioritised.

ATTRACTING MULTICULTURAL TALENT

“The mission of ColorComm Search is to help multicultural talent secure jobs at leading companies,” stated ColorComm’s Founder and CEO Lauren Wesley Wilson. “ColorComm has cultivated an amazing database of talent, which has been nurtured for over a decade. We are excited to connect our database of talent with direct access to hiring managers who are searching for them.”

Candidates can create an account where they can search for open roles by specific industry, company, city or state. They will be able to upload their resume and apply to multiple roles. There is no fee for candidates to use the service. However, ColorComm will charge employers a fee to post open roles; which will vary depending on length of job post.

The service will be available immediately to ColorComm’s membership based network, confirmed the company. It will expand to the Men of Color in Communications (MCC) shortly after; and be open to all by late Summer 2021.

Oshkosh Corporation has partnered with Black Progress Matters to improve the company’s diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in recruitment. Click here to read more.
