Supplier Diversity Program

HRM’s Supplier Diversity Development (KSDD) program supports our comprehensive approach to the selection and management of diverse suppliers. KSDD processes and programs are truly unique and designed to support our clients’ Tier I and Tier II diversity initiatives. HRM utilizes diverse staffing companies as both teaming partners and subcontractors. We encourage certified diverse companies to partner with us in providing staffing solutions to our customers across a variety of business disciplines.

HRM’s philosophy of partnering with diverse businesses is recognition of the company’s long-standing commitment to equal opportunity for all businesses.
