Ohio Diversity

What Ohio Diversity does

DiversityJobs (operating under the "Ohio Diversity" alias in the source data) is a two-sided job board marketplace founded in the mid-1990s that connects employers committed to diversity and inclusion with job seekers from underrepresented communities, including people of color, women, veterans, older workers, individuals with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ community members. The platform's underlying technology is a job board with a resume database, search, and matching layer, supplemented by nine community-specific sub-brand job boards (Women, Veterans, LGBTQIA, AAPI, African American/Black, Native & Indigenous, Hispanic/Latinx, Individuals with Disabilities, Older Workers), an employer-facing account management tool called Diversity Catalyst, and a content library of on-demand webinars and career-advice articles. The company reports a 160M-record candidate database, 1M+ active job openings, 600+ partner/distribution websites, and a 90% employer client renewal rate.

The business model is a B2B employer subscription with a self-serve and demo-assisted go-to-market: job seekers use the platform free for profile creation, resume upload, job search, and event registration, while employers pay recurring (annual, quote-based) fees to post jobs and source from the candidate database via the Diversity Catalyst portal or single-job-posting add-ons. The corporate identity is private, U.S.-domiciled, and appears to operate under the Mitratech/Circa umbrella based on branding embedded in the site's logo asset. Direct sales outreach is concentrated on larger employers via a "Request a Demo" workflow, while smaller employers are served through self-serve job posting. There is no public disclosure of revenue, funding, headcount, ownership details, or leadership team in the available source material.
