In the Book:

To build a diverse workforce, recruitment statement used in the past will no longer be sufficient and will not provide agencies with high-quality applicants. Agencies with maximum success in recruiting women and minorities have had specific goals. Objectives, and timetables in places; these policies must be established at the top level of the organization.
