Associate-Led Affinity Groups
Cultivating diversity
with our customers
As a firm specializing in the recruitment, engagement and development of top talent, we work with skilled professionals from all demographic groups. We’ve used our Supplier Diversity Program for more than a decade in this pursuit. This effort is documented through our Equal Employment Opportunity Statement, the diversity within our own team and our commitment to helping our clients achieve their diversity objectives.
Our talent acquisition strategy is extensive, and our internal practices encourage retention. By broadening our channels and partnering with professional groups, we access more candidates, resulting in a higher-quality, more diverse and better-skilled network. Our partnerships include:
Supplier diversity
Establishing trustworthy and long-lasting relationships is at the heart of what we do. We recognize the strength of our partners and how they assist us in creating a diverse workforce. This knowledge drives us to continually invest in and expand our supplier diversity program.
Mission
Kforce’s supplier diversity program provides an inclusive approach to procurement. We aim to do our part to generate economic opportunity for traditionally underrepresented or underserved groups that can provide resources, services and products to Kforce. We form partnerships with suppliers that reflect those we serve and the communities in which we live.
Strategy
We actively seek vendors with diverse ownership that align to our firm strategy and reinforce our business. Our search criteria are focused on services capability and partnership. We look for vendors that can provide us with knowledge on a specific expertise, and our goal is to also identify partnerships that go beyond a financial impact.
Kforce is a proud supporter of the Diverse Supplier Grant Initiative, sponsored by JPMorgan Chase & Co. For more information about the program, visit jpmorganchase.com. This is one way we show our support of efforts that seek to close the wealth gap, advance racial equity and promote inclusive growth for Black, Hispanic and Latinx communities.

Affinity groups are created by employees to build community with colleagues who share a similar dimension of identity. The groups provide opportunities for connection, trust and support to deepen a sense of belonging.
Our affinity groups are the cornerstone of our associate-led program. They offer visibility and affirmation of the community to the rest of the organization by exploring & celebrating diverse identities.
