San Francisco, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/02/2014 --SmartRecruiters, the company that empowers the new way of hiring, today announced a new partnership with Equality Magazines that gives hiring managers access to four new job boards through the SmartRecruiters platform, including Hispanic-Today, Women in Business & Industry, The Black Perspective and Veterans Enterprise. The addition of these job boards gives all SmartRecruiters customers the ability to reach a wider spectrum of demographics that contribute to stronger and more innovative workforces, while maintaining DOL and OFCCP compliance and meeting Good Faith Efforts for minority community outreach.

“The goal of our job boards is to advance diversity throughout America’s workforce, connecting candidates from all backgrounds and experiences with companies seeking to hire from within a specific minority talent pool or a job seeker’s own community,” said Mark Cohen, VP of Business Development for Equality Magazines. “Partnering with SmartRecruiters is a great step forward in that direction, enabling us to reach the 70,000 and counting businesses nationwide that use SmartRecruiters to find and hire great people.”

Since its founding in 1997, Equality Magazines has bridged the gap between a diverse, broad range of job seekers and companies looking to grow their workforces through targeted minority recruitment. A subsidiary of JMR Publishing Enterprises, Equality Magazines also provides news and career resources focused directly towards a targeted community demographic, with its own unique talent pool.

“Sourcing from a wide and diverse set of candidates is crucial to hiring the best people possible,” said Bill Fanning, Vice President, Business Development for SmartRecruiters. “Our partnership with Equality Magazines gives SmartRecruiters’ customers access to new pools of candidates with multitudes of professional and cultural backgrounds, which is vital to creating more qualified, productive and creative workforces.”

The SmartRecruiters cloud-based hiring platform allows companies to quickly source, engage and hire great people. It streamlines recruiting and hiring processes, giving hiring managers and recruiters everything they need to post jobs, manage candidates and make the right hire. SmartRecruiters also positively transforms the candidate experience by improving the way hiring managers interact with candidates through features such as one-click job applications and its new mobile app.
