波特科布市建立盈利性业务做出积极的社会影响。而多样性招聘波特科布市Jopwell建立在疼痛点,他还致力于解决就业方程的另一半:保留。Jopwell波特科布市留下了一个有前途的职业金融实际上前夕,高盛(Goldman Sachs)晋升——离开职业生涯中,他积累了五年的经历,发现Jopwell,职业平台专门为黑色,Latinx和美国本土学生和专业人士。“我疯狂的信仰上的飞跃和建立一个科技公司,而非技术,建立招聘公司(当)我从来没有做过招聘,并成为一名创业者,我从来没有建造任何东西?”他回忆自己思考。社会资本在这个独家专访,他是开放的反思导致他决定“跟随我觉得我被称为“加上获得的洞察力,他一直被要求回到他的大学母校,“招募其他人看起来像我。”Porter shares, "So I thought, there had to be a more efficient and effective way where I can assist not just financial institutions but all institutions with diversity recruiting. I saw it was a major pain point. It was something I was passionate about." At the same time, a personal loss had generated introspection as to "What can I do with this time that I have?" Those two trains of thought converged as he realized, "Balancing business with making impact was something that was really attractive to me." Porter is quick to give credit to the many nonprofits in the diversity recruitment space that had been "doing incredible work for decades." But the very fact that they were nonprofits limited their ability to scale. "We're solving a business pain point here. Any other business pain point that you're solving is not going to be a nonprofit, so why should diversity recruiting be a nonprofit? That did not sit well with me at all, and I refused to build a nonprofit because there's nothing wrong with making money when doing well in the world." Proposing a capitalistic solution, Porter knew he would need capital, and he recognized he would need to show investors a return for their investment. He makes a great case in explaining how those returns come out of the same results he was striving for in the first place: hiring people. While diversity recruitment was the pain point Porter founded Jopwell on, Porter is also working to address the other half of the employment equation: retention. For starters, he says, "You have to make people believe that they're being seen, that their voices are being heard, and that they are valued." His thought-provoking observations about being "the only" in an organization give those concerns an added dimension. "Ultimately, what I've learned in this journey is, generally we all want the same thing. We want the ability to show up to work in spaces where we all collectively feel like we belong, where we want to work hard for our colleagues, where we all believe people have the right and good intentions. And I think where things get jumbled is that we don't understand each other's context and how we are entering in the space," Porter shares.
