Hire this Ability
http://www.hirethisability.com/recruit.htm
Recruiting qualified workers with disabilities is frequently described
by employers as frustrating and perplexing. However, there are some steps
that can be taken to help simplify the process. First, let it be known
you are actively seeking job candidates with disabilities. Be sure to
send your vacancy announcements to disability-related organizations and
agencies. State on your job announcements your interest in receiving applications
from people with disabilities. Traditional recruitment techniques frequently
do not work effectively because so many individuals with disabilities
acquire their job skills and placement assistance in programs outside
traditional job training and placement programs. Employers need to consider
internal as well as external sources when seeking applicants with disabilities.
Internally there may be potential applicants, including those who have
acquired disabilities on or off the job.
GAY AND LESBIAN
Security Industries Association
http://www.sia.com/diversity/html/gay_lesbian.html
As the "gay market" grows rapidly, an increasing number of
U.S. companies are recognizing that many gay and lesbian people and their
friends and families make marketplace decisions as consumers, investors
and job applicants, based on whether a company is perceived to be gay-friendly
or not. What makes a company lesbian/gay-friendly, according to Greenfield,
are internal policies of the company (such as human resources policies
that support domestic partners), political support of the community, advertising
featuring gays/lesbians, monetary support to the community and the selling
of products targeted to the community

SENIOR CITIZENS
Senior Citizens.Com
http://www.seniorcitizens.com/employment/
An estimated two million individuals aged 50 to 74 are willing, able,
and seeking employment. In the last decade, the number of men working
beyond the traditional retirement age of 65 has increased 34 percent.
With improvements in health care coupled with concerns about social security
and other benefits, this trend is expected to continue. Almost 60 percent
of working Americans over the age of 19 anticipate working at least part-time
after the age of 65.
Recruiting older workers involves the same activities as recruiting younger
ones, but businesses must make a concerted effort to modify some of their
procedures to increase their attractiveness to older workers. Three major
changes are involved: (1) altering the look and placement of recruitment
ads, (2) expanding organizational recruitment activities, and (3) training
employees on how to interview older job applicants
