Marsh and McLennan Companies and executive search firm Heidrick and Struggles International are partnering to create a new diversity recruitment initiative, designed to bring a broader and more diverse talent pool to Marsh and McLennan.

The partnership will see Heidrick give at least 10 percent of its work for MMC to women- and minority-owned executive search firms, and will also help these firms identify other opportunities where their services may be of assistance to the company. Heidrick's management of this process will help MMC fulfill a commitment to recruit diverse candidates and cultivate diversity among its vendors.

Heidrick, in addition to providing access to a broad range of candidates, including women, people of color, and members of the GLBT communities to MMC, will also assist with training and other services for some of the women- and minority-owned search firms.
