About The Ernestine McClendon Talent Grant

Named after the legendary Ernestine McClendon, the first Black talent agent and the first agent to represent Black talent, Recruiting Innovation seeks to continue her mission through this grant program to support and elevate underrepresented talent, specifically within the recruiting industry.

The Ernestine McClendon Talent Grant provides Tech Recruiter Certification, mentorship, training and community to professionals from the Black, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled and other underrepresented communities to enter and flourish within the tech recruiting industry.

Recruiting Innovation firmly believes the more diverse our recruiting teams are, the more diverse our teams will ultimately be. By providing this Talent Grant, we seek to create a more inclusive and representative recruiting industry.

Why We Are Offering This Grant

“As a society and as organizations we are at a crossroads. We all must decide how we are going to leverage our resources in this moment. Are we going to maintain the status quo or are we going to drive change through meaningful action and allocation of resources?”

— Alison Daley, founder and CEO of Recruiting Innovation

The Ernestine McClendon Talent Grant was created to attract, train, certify and meaningfully support underrepresented talent to enter and excel within the technical recruiting industry.
