Diversity Pledges Ring Hollow

Views 3 Views    Comments 0 Comments    Share Share    Posted 09-08-2008  
The persistent lack of diversity in senior corporate management has many origins, not least of which is the broad lack of diversity among executive headhunters. That’s especially unfortunate, since executive search consultants are the very people who could help pave the way for progress.

But when pointing out the profession’s need to diversify its consulting ranks, it would be careless and inaccurate to lay the blame on headhunters alone. Indeed, there is apparently a hollow tone to many employers’ pledges to increase diversity in their workforce, especially in the higher ranks. True, some hiring organizations reward diversity efforts by paying their executive-search firm partners a fee premium or bonus if their shortlist of candidates for a top management role includes women and minorities.
