Research supports companies moving from diversity as a program to diversity as a business strategy. According to McKinsey’s economic state of Black America report, $2B in potential revenue exists if financial inclusion efforts broaden services for black Americans and $12TN in additional GDP if gender gap is narrowed by 2025.
Circa was formed when LocalJobNetwork was rebranded in July 2020 and since then has acquired America’s Job Exchange and DiversityJobs. The company provides SaaS-based OFCCP compliance management and recruiting technology solutions to deliver qualified candidates on a level, equitable playing field that meet organizations’ needs to build high-performing, diverse teams.
