Supplier Diversity Advantage

Supplier Diversity Advantage for Staffing Firms

Every advantage helps when it comes to getting clients – and a diversity certification is a big competitive advantage.

If your temporary staffing firm is eligible for a diversity certification, we can help. Most Fortune 500 U.S. corporations set aside portions of their total supply chain spend for supplier diversity fulfillment, and frequently seek out qualified staffing suppliers. We offer one-on-one assistance to help you leverage your diversity advantage.
