DIVERSANT, the largest African American owned IT staffing firm in the U.S., specializes in helping organizations find direct hire candidates with specialized backgrounds in the IT space. However, they faced challenges in identifying candidates with niche skill sets. They used a variety of sourcing tools, job boards, referrals, and networking opportunities, but still struggled to find individuals with specialized backgrounds and hard-to-find areas of expertise. In 2019, DIVERSANT identified the need to invest in tools that would accelerate their ability to find qualified candidates and help clients support their hiring objectives. They conducted a vendor evaluation process to research additional solutions that could help.

DIVERSANT leadership identified hireEZ as a unique resource that could help them access a vastly larger pool of candidates – more than 800 million individual profiles pulled from 45 open web platforms. After implementing hireEZ, the DIVERSANT team realized that hireEZ could help their clients uncover candidates that they could not easily find using traditional solutions. One key feature that DIVERSANT has leveraged successfully is hireEZ’s ability to mass email a population of candidates and to schedule automated email campaigns that are designed to convert in the long run. As a result, DIVERSANT has experienced a vast improvement in terms of candidate response rates and engagement.
