Expanded Services to Focus on Recruitment of Top-Tier Minority and Women Professionals
 
Diversity & HR Solutions (DHRS), an established consultancy with a mission to grow corporate diversity and inclusion, has announced the March 16 launch of Diversity Placement Solutions. The new enterprise is an expansion of the services DHRS offers, to include talent recruitment, consulting and HR support—with an exclusive focus on placing top-tier women and minority candidates across industry sectors in the C-suite and in senior and mid-level roles.
 
“After spending more than two decades working to create more diverse and inclusive workplaces, I believe that it is time to extend that diversity to board rooms and executive suites,” said Gracie Johnson-Lopez, President and Principal Consultant of Diversity & HR Solutions. “We decided to do so at an especially critical moment—determined to address and fill the major marketplace gaps that still exist in diverse hiring.”
 
Johnson-Lopez said the new venture continues her commitment to create company cultures that value diversity, equity and belonging – drawing a direct line between diversity and inclusion and organizational performance – and seeks to partner with companies that share that commitment. Diversity Placement Solutions will build on decades of experience and a unique market position, to serve as an extension of their clients’ HR departments.
 
“I’m excited about this next step,” said Johnson-Lopez. “I look forward to working with companies to find the top, diverse talent they need to continue their business growth and success.”
