Hiring the appropriate candidates will not just be helpful in increasing the productivity of the firm but will also add to the reputation of the firm in the market. Therefore, recruiting is a very delicate procedure. It ultimately shows the difference between market leaders and market laggards – or worse still – failed ventures entirely.

And when it comes to recruitment, one should never ignore diversity. Personally, we strongly believe in the benefits of diversity in teams and organizations. In fact, by its definition, diversity allows a company to bring together a fuller range of talents, capabilities, and learning available in the talent pool. And we’ve also seen that:

• Diversity fosters more innovation and creativity;
• Diverse backgrounds and experiences bring broader problem solving skills;
• Different perspectives and ‘lenses’ born of diverse backgrounds help teams find solutions that might otherwise be overlooked;
• When serving a global customer base, a diverse workforce can better personally relate to and understand international needs, styles and approaches.
