Heidrick & Struggles Establishes Hispanic Marketing Practice to Help U.S. Companies Tap Into Fast-growing Hispanic Market

CHICAGO, Oct 05, 2006 -- Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc., the world's premier executive search and leadership consulting firm, today announced the formation of its Hispanic Marketing Practice. The newly-formalized Practice specializes in helping U.S. companies capture share of the U.S. Hispanic market, whose purchasing power is expected to reach more than $1 trillion by 2010.

This is a positive sign for our core business, the first and still leading Hispanic jobs board. On many occasions over the years, we've felt that the buzz about Diversity and Hispanic recruiting was more talk than reality, but every year it seems corporate recruiters are just a bit more serious about hiring and less interested in CYA. This is good evidence.
