CLEVELAND - BostonChron -- Minority Executive Search, a leading minority search firm, announced today that it has partnered with Western Union to assist with C-level executive placement for minority and women applicants.

For 30 years, Minority Executive Search has partnered with corporate America to place highly talented minority and women applicants specifically in c-suite level roles, in an effort to give underrepresented demographic groups the chance to succeed, as well as promote inclusion, appreciation, and respect towards a diverse world. From start to finish, Minority Executive Search takes the time to develop a clear understanding of a company, its values, market, staffing needs, and business goals to determine if they can aid in their goals effectively.

"I am happy to announce that Western Union, a widely-renowned 170-year-old company, has selected Minority Executive Search, a minority-owned business that has quite frankly been very successful in sourcing and delivering minority executive talent to corporate America since 1985, as their search partner to help find qualified minority candidates and restructure the workforce from the top down," says Eral Burks, CEO of Minority Executive Search.

Minority Executive Search strategically plans and manages its calculated, well-organized searches to produce positive results, while maintaining communication with its clients and candidates to ensure the identification and selection of only the most appropriate, knowledgeable finalists for every search assignment.

Western Union has a long history of recognizing the importance of diversity in our workforce. In fact, it was one of 325 companies across 50 industries included in the 2020 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index. In addition, Western Union has invested in innovative programs and tools to identify qualified and diverse job candidates, while providing professional development opportunities to help build careers.

"I am pleased that Western Union has selected us in particular, because we're a firm that is 100 percent dedicated to helping companies that are committed to hiring Under Represented Minorities (URMs) into executive-level positions, therefore helping to give deserving individuals more opportunity and bridging the gap that disproportionately affects minority communities. I am glad to see that this company is walking the walk and not just talking the talk, and making moves that speak to their integrity."

With an ever-changing global economy, devising and implementing a strategy to have a diverse workforce provides extremely competitive advantages to businesses. Companies are expanding and distinguishing themselves with their own unique task forces, whose members come from different backgrounds, bringing different ideas and perspectives with them that are valuable in shaping the needs and outlook of companies going forward.
