Challenging the Status Quo

“Our surrounding communities don’t reflect much diversity, so there just isn’t a pool to pull from.”

“Diverse candidates don’t want to move to this area/region for this kind of job.”

“We’ve tried this before, and underrepresented candidates don’t end up staying long. We don’t want to have to turn around next year and do this search all over again.”
