Diversity Outreach

Job Seeker Outreach

In the competitive academic job market, it’s critical to elevate your job openings in front of highly qualified, diverse professionals. Your HERC membership can exponentially amplify your candidate search. HERC channels your membership dues into strategic, targeted promotion of your job openings.

• In-person and virtual outreach to job seekers. Annually, HERC reaches over 15,000 job seekers through in-person and virtual outreach at conferences and job fairs. HERC promotes our job board to candidates already seeking to network and find new jobs in the field of academia. 
• Placing your jobs in front of thousands of qualified candidates. HERC emails millions of targeted job alerts to individuals who have expressed interest online. Our career development resources, like our webinars and expert blog posts, keep job seekers engaged and returning to HERC throughout their career trajectory.
• Targeting advertising towards diverse constituencies. HERC invested $130,000 in advertising in publications serving diverse constituencies and online advertisements. This advertising campaign attracts professionals who may have extensive experience in academia or who have transferable experience in other fields. View our partners in our Marketplace.
