If you’re looking for a new job (whether you are out of work or just need to make a change), you should rank your target companies across several categories. The ones that immediately come to mind are:
- Is it a good company to work for?
- Are they a leader in their field?
- Do they offer long term growth?
- Are they profitable?
- Do they have good benefits?
- Are they diverse?
I’ve covered a few of these in past posts (such as Start your Search with the Best, How does your Company Rate? and the Fortune 1000) but we’ve not reviewed Diversity. So, how diverse are your target companies and how do you determine Diversability (yes, there is such a word)? The following links will help you make that assessment.
