Diversifieds.com is similar to online employment sites like Indeed, ZipRecruiter and Monster, however there is a huge difference in Diversifieds.com’s mission.

To empower communities of color through the alignment of resourced partnerships addressing disproportionate economic and employment rates and thus eradicating joblessness while increasing sustainability.

There is an exceptional BIPOC workforce, that are in the job market and just need the perfect vehicle to find that perfect career.
