Hey all,

First let me say that I appreciate the feedback and the concerns raised regarding my post. Let me also say that my post should not in any way be interpreted to mean I am trying to give preferential treatment to any race, **** or ethnic population, etc. It was an honest question because I feel we have not been able to attract applications for technician jobs posted from this segment of the population and I feel like there must be something we can do better to reach them. We have a number of technician openings in our company and I was just surprised that we do not see more applications from the Hispanic community even while the Hispanic population continues to grow in our southeast areas. I was thinking we might need to advertise in different forums or take other actions to expand the pool of talent that we try to reach. I will try to follow up on some of the individual comments to gain more insight but again- any suggestions or experiences that might help would be very appreciated.
