The new face of Diversity.com - A Contest.

Bill Bargas October 14, 2007 11:05 am ET

We are planning a major revamp of Diversity.com in ‘08. We would like your ideas and recommendations for designing a new site with newer - in demand service offerings for employers and job seekers.

Here’s our offer. Please share your thoughts with us now through Thursday 10/18/07 and we will award a “chair” at the ERE EXPO Charity Poker Event to the person with either the best set of ideas and/or whose comments get the highest praise from others. The “catch” is you have to be at the event to receive the prize. Runner ups will receive a set of bongo drums.. Yep, every recruiter should have a set - great way to relieve frustrations at the end of the day.

All comments will be appreciated but here are a few questions we would like to have addressed if possible.
1: If there were no diversity niche job boards were would employers advertise?
2: If paying for specific job positions were eliminated would employers buy annual unlimited posting/resume search memberships?
3:We think retaining resumes are more liability than worth..we think offering social networking would be better?
4: Diversity is no longer the code word for racial uniqueness..we live in a multi-cultural universe. Employers who are still seeking “minority” applicants cause me severe headaches! . These companies are truly lost souls. What are some ways to attract a broader base of multi-cultural,ability and life style job seekers?
5: We think there is a market for diversity recruiting in the UK and Canada. Do you?
6: The new Diversity.com will need sources of income to survive : what services should we offer to help keep the lights on!
7: If you were charged with finding the right web designer who would it be? why?

Pats’ Football

I hear Monster is going to donate an autographed Patriots football to the Foundation auction at the Expo — I bet it’ll be one of the hotter items (though Careerbuilder is donating a new Dell laptop, which would be pretty darn nice).

Anybody organizing (or better yet, sponsoring!) a non-charity game?

One of the best times I had at ERE-Miami was at the late night bull sessions that claimed to be a poker game.  Would LOVE to play in a cash game (vs the play money type of the foundation charity game). 

Anyone who knows me, knows my participation probably means I’m funding the entertainment funds of the rest of the games participants…

 Any interest?
