Improving diversity at the top of the ladder makes our economy and country stronger, and our corporations more unified. These top-level assets become role models for the next generation. There is a finite number of minority candidates that have been groomed for key senior level roles, and most corporations are searching for talent in all the same places. To implement change, companies can expand their resources and network outside of their usual comfort zone. Including minority-owned search, firms is a corporate strategy that can generate an expanded, untapped pool of qualified candidates.
Dozens of studies have identified diversity as a strength for groups, corporations, and organizations. Management teams with more diverse backgrounds are engines of innovation. Firms with greater gender or racial diversity have higher sales revenue, more customers, and higher profits.
There is not a lack of diversity among candidates professionally prepared for senior corporate leadership roles. Companies often face challenges in sourcing talent and must integrate more creative methods to identify, source, recruit, and negotiate with these candidates. With an inclusive philosophy and a knack for finding executive-level leaders, EXI makes a difference and carves its own niche.
What distinguishes EXI from competitors is decades of experience placing stellar female and diverse candidates and building relationships over time. Among these candidates, some are currently serving in senior executive roles within various fortune 500 companies. EXI works with passive candidates who are seldom on the market seeking new positions but maybe willing to listen to good opportunities,
Since 1998 we have developed a reputation of being a trusted source with a record for professionalism, confidentiality, and respect for the best interest of the candidates. We currently have relationships with female and diverse candidates who have the experience and abilities to fill VP, C-suite positions, leadership of management teams for venture capital firms, alliance start-ups, performance turnarounds with high-growth results, and Corporate Board roles.
EXI offers our client’s free services in community relations, University relations, and multicultural outreach. We also support many worthy under the radar charitable organizations domestically and internationally. This allows corporations to expand their philanthropic outreach to more and often underserved communities to make a difference in the lives of people who can become more self-reliant contributors to society with better opportunities in areas such as Healthcare, Education, Technology, Infrastructure, clean water, and prison to work initiatives.
