As September approaches, we thought we’d remind you again of an event Adrants is sponsoring during Advertising Week. Continuing our quest to open the advertising industry to a more diverse group of people, Adrants along with Business Development Institute and the organizers of Advertising Week 2007 will host Experienced Hire Diversity Recruiting Program at the Worldwide Business Centres in New York during Advertising Week September 25-28, 2007.
The event, unlike our two previous diversity in advertising events, will “focus solely on advancing the presence of mid to senior level diversity leaders in the communication industries by offering individual companies the opportunity to exclusively recruit top level experienced professionals through private one and half hour recruiting sessions.”
BDI will organize private and confidential mini job fairs for each recruiting sponsor where they will be the only recruiter involved (no other agencies will be present). This will address issues of privacy and confidentiality for the attending job candidates, of whom, the majority we expect to be currently employed ans want to protect their privacy. Each agency will have its own time slot and will not compete with any other agency during that time.
Already signed up are Campbell-Ewald, Carol H. Williams Advertising, DDB Worldwide, DraftFCB, Grey Group, Lowe Worldwide, McCann Erickson, Mullen, Publicis USA, Rapp Collins World Wide, The Kaplan Thaler Group, and T3 (The Think Tank).
If you want to find out more and/ or sign up as a hiring organization or as a job seeker, there’s more information here.
