General Resources

Affirmative Action Register

"...a leading national equal opportunity employment magazine and website that connects employers to professionals who are seeking jobs, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, sexual preference or disability. For more than 30 years, AAR has provided progressive businesses and institutions with a forum to find employees who represent the dynamic kaleidoscope of our country’s population." Job postings listed here include positions in academia, business, healthcare, and the government and are freely available to all visitors.

Diversity/Careers in Engineering & Information Technology

...publication focused on the minority/diversity technical professional. Their web site carries a full list of employers placing advertisements in their latest print issue, linking to that employer's web site for job announcements.

Diversity Link

...job listings and resume postings targeted for diversity candidates (women, persons from varied ethnic backgrounds, disabled candidates, etc.)

DiversityWorking.com

...a very large site dedicated to promoting diversity in the workplace. I might even venture to say this site is too large, offering so much data on each page that it is sometimes difficult to spot the result of your search. However, the jobs listed here are good. The "Community Channels" and "Career Channels" can be a little overwhelming.

Equal Opportunity Publications, Inc.

Information on their publications, Equal Opportunity, Woman Engineer, Minority Engineer, CAREERS & the disABLED, Workforce Diversity For Engineering And IT Professionals, Hispanic Career World, and African-American Career World. Each magazine has a list of employers currently recruiting new employees along with a list of job announcements.

HireDiversity

... national diversity recruitment service linking qualified entry-level to senior-level candidates with Fortune 500 companies and the government. It has separate news channels of interest to each different population, but the jobs listed are all in one job bank.

HirePotential

..."a national staffing firm dedicated to recruiting and employing individuals from the 'Untapped Workforce'. This includes people with disabilities, mature workers, veterans, welfare recipients and individuals from other specialty niche groups."

IMDiversity.com

...sponsored by The Black Collegian, this is an excellent resource for all minority and diversity candidates, including women and the disabled. The many villages include resources and information specific for each group, and those without a separate village will find information in the global village. These folks are committed to serving all minority/diversity groups and are doing a great job.

MinorityJobs.net

...this site combines job listing and career information with news and information on civil rights, including immigration, education, government, and historical information. The job database is not well populated unless you are in computers/IT, but there are jobs in there to be found. You will just need to search "All States" along with your job field to find them. You can review the job listings but cannot apply for the jobs unless you register for a free account, which includes adding your resume to their database.

Minority Professional Network

...nice site with career, business, and lifestyle information. While focused on the minority professional, it offers great things for any user. Nice career center with interesting jobs, but no dates of when they were posted. Also organizes several "offline" events throughout the US and abroad providing excellent networking opportunities with real face-time!

The Multicultural Advantage

"The Empowerment Community for People of Color." Career advice, employment resources, and much more, all targeted to persons of color. Employers contact information pages contain information on how to reach them and some employers post direct recruiter emails or phone numbers in the job listings so applicants to not have to register to apply. And profiles remain active for 365 days unless you request it be removed before this time. The jobs look good, there are lots of them, and you can search them and make sure there is something here for you before you register.

OnlineDiversity

...this website is provided by the publishers of The Black EOE Journal, The HISPANIC Network Magazine, and The Professional WOMAN’S Magazine, each of which is an excellent career and employment information source. You can access each magazine's website from this single entry. I did notice that the job databases of all 3 contain the same listings, but the magazine content is obviously not the same.

PharmaDiversity Job Board

...a site focused on matching diversity candidates with all types of jobs in the pharmaceutical industry from accountants and administrators to sales to research. You can do all kinds of searching and review the full job announcements without registering, but if you want to use their "apply online" feature you will need to register store your resume here. Lots of articles targeted to various audiences on how to get your pharma job search rolling.

WorkplaceDiversity

...nice site focused on diversity recruiting, including the 40+ group. Free registration / resume posting is not necessary, but if you register you can opt to not post of your resume. You can execute a keyword search on the front page, but if you select Advanced Search you can use the pulldown menu to target a specific industry sector. Beyond the jobs you'll find profiles of employers, news and information targeted to various diverse audiences, and information on associations and organizations supporting and promoting minority and diversity interests.

RetirementJobs

For the over 50 crowd. I'm not thrilled with it, and I find many of the jobs requiring far less experience than I would expect for a site targeting this audience, but the listings are plentiful.

Simply Hired 50+

This specialty search from Simply Hired says it works with Retirement Jobs, but I don't get the same results. They also allow you to say "search only age 50+ friendly companies."

RetiredBrains.com

I had high hopes for this site, but they were dashed. I want you to know what I found. It is supposed to be a site focused on providing job listings and volunteer opportunities for those who are retired or are nearing retirement. However, I got very suspicious when I saw words like "junior" and "recent college grad" in the job titles and descriptions. Some minor sleuthing alerted me to the fact that this is a member of the 4jobs.com network, and a check of their job database disclosed that RetiredBrains.com is just a new front end on their regular database. Sorry folks.

We also have Job Search Advice for the Mature Job Seeker.
