Recruiting for Diverse Talent: Cultivating Inclusive Recruitment Practices
Challenge
To diversify TIAG's recruiting methodologies with a network of recruiting sources focused on diverse candidates qualified to work in the cleared, government technology industry.
Actions
TIAG has implemented proactive measures in diversity-focused recruiting and talent acquisition strategies, to empower underrepresented workers. These strategies include partnerships with the Microsoft System and Server Academy (MSSA}, outreach to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) through the Handshake platform, the Military Spouses Employer Partnership, and a collaboration with the Professional Diversity Network.
Outcomes
These concentrated endeavors result in a consistent and diversified talent pipeline, leading to an inclusive workforce and an employee-designated "Great Place to Work" since 2014. As recognized by Forbes as one of the "Best Places to Work" for Millennials, Women, and Tech, and as a recipient of the "Hire Vets Medallion" since 2021, our diverse employee population consistently nominates us as an exemplary organization. This reflects our unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion through our hiring practices, personnel policies, and comprehensive organizational policies such as paid parental leave and medical benefits for unmarried and/or same-sex partners.
