When your legal and compliance teams are representative of your employee base and the wide range of customers you serve, you are better equipped to understand constituents and achieve business goals. For two decades, we have been nationally recognized for recruiting women and minorities to leadership positions for our clients. In fact, a recent audit by BarkerGilmore over the past three years revealed that: 57% of placements were women and 32% of placements were minorities.
