Richmond, VA (June 25, 2008)

Join Manpower, SunTrust and Merck on Thursday, June 26 from 11 - 12 p.m. EDT; 10 a.m. - 11 a.m. CDT; 9 a.m. - 10 a.m. MDT; 8 a.m. - 9 a.m. PDT, as we host a complimentary webinar entitled - Recruiting a Diverse Workforce - Innovative Practices that Work.

We are all experiencing the talent crunch or soon will be. Statistics say it all - 22% of U.S. employers are struggling to find the right people while the Bureau of Labor Statistics predict we will have a 10 million worker shortage by 2010. According to Manpower´s recent Hardest Jobs to Fill survey, some of the most difficult jobs to fill include Engineers, Machinists, Skilled Manual Trades, Technicians and Sales Representatives.

The challenge of finding the right people at the right time in the right place is becoming more pronounced. This talent challenge is driving employers to become more innovative in their recruiting practices, specifically at attracting diverse populations that make up the largest percentage of new labor entrants. After participating in this webinar, you will have a better understanding of:

• Proven practices to attract diverse populations such as mature workers, African-American, Hispanic and/or People with Disabilities
• How to leverage volunteerism and community involvement as a recruiting tool
• How to tap into the military population as a talent pool
