Diversity Partners

What Diversity Partners does

Diversity Partners is a New York-based, minority-owned recruiting and advisory firm dedicated to helping employers improve their diversity and inclusion footprint. The company operates with a small team of 1-10 employees out of a Midtown Manhattan headquarters, serving as a sales-led, professional services provider with two core revenue streams: D&I Advisory Services (data collection and analysis, bias elimination in workplace and recruitment processes, and D&I program development) and Executive Search & Recruiting (placing diverse talent at all organizational levels). Its customer segments are horizontal, addressing employers and organizations across industries as the primary buyer, and D&I professionals as a secondary persona served through a community platform and jobs board. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The firm's product portfolio extends beyond core services to include a community platform for D&I professionals, a public jobs board aggregating openings across technology, consulting, financial services, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals, career advice content, and a curated affiliate partner network covering data and analytics, training, recruiting tools, and leadership development. The company supports demand generation through a blog, bi-weekly newsletter, and social media presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram. No proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI/ML capability is disclosed; the offering is human-delivered consulting and recruiting rather than technology-enabled.

The business model is conventional professional services: engagements are initiated through 'Inquire Now' and 'Contact Us' forms on the website, with services delivered by certified D&I advisors and search professionals. No funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent company relationships are disclosed, and the firm appears to operate as an independent, founder-led entity (Katie Spearritt, CEO and Founder). Geographic reach is national within the United States, evidenced by job listings across multiple metros, with no claimed global footprint.
