Colorful Connections was brought in really to help us realize an opportunity. We wanted to make sure that we had the best possible candidates to choose from for an important opening that we had in our marketing/communications department. Colorful Connections impacted my perception of diversity I would say just in the sense of feeling like there was true understanding about what was important to me as a hiring manager. And to us as an organization.
