Patti Chaffee

Hi, I'm Patti Chaffee (Patricia Chaffee Moore) and I am the Founder/CEO of Diversitree, Inc. (https://www.diversitree.com). At Diversitree, we work with market leaders to recruit experienced diverse professionals. We are committed to marrying our clients with top-notch candidates in an on-line environment where ethnicity, gender, disabilities, age, multilingualism and personal orientations are celebrated.

My "why": I believe in prosperity through equality and acceptance. I believe in challenging the status quo. I believe in doing things differently. I believe evolution of thought comes from change. I believe everyone should embrace what makes them unique and have the freedom to shout it to the world. In 2010, I created www.diversitree.com, an on-line community and job board where candidates are encouraged to share, at their sole discretion, all of their unique attributes; gender, age, ethnicity, disabilities, personal orientations, military experience, specific international and cultural knowledge, and particularly, an ability to speak a foreign language (bi-lingual). It is my goal, as a woman and a business owner, to create a wave of change that transcends cultural, religious, gender and ethnic divides. At Diversitree, Inc. we celebrate the uniqueness of all individuals and seek to create an environment of mutual support while presenting opportunities to work for market leaders. With more than 13 years personally in sales, marketing and management, coupled with 5 years spent in the job search environment, I am thrilled to use my experience to further the goals of women and all diverse candidates. It is with that enthusiasm that I choose to give up to 5% of our profits to charities that are affecting change and making a positive impact on our world. At www.diversitree.com, we use proprietary software to match diverse professionals with their dream job. Our cutting edge Social Engagement platform has made us the #1, socially connected, on-line community and job board for diversity recruiting on the web. Our Diversitree community is supportive, engaged, and fully invested in utilizing their unique talents and attributes to land their dream job. Our job listings span from Fortune 100 companies to small start ups and all of our corporate sponsors are fully committed to diversity and inclusion as a cornerstone of their business. What makes you unique?

Founder/ CEO at Diversitree, Inc.

April 2010

At Diversitree, we work with market leaders to recruit experienced diverse professionals. We are committed to marrying our clients with top-notch candidates in an on-line environment where ethnicity, gender, disabilities, age, multilingualism and personal orientations are celebrated. In an effort to overturn the modern thought process of not sharing personal information in your job search to avoid profiling, we have created an on-line social recruiting site which PROMOTES all things diverse. We are different from every other job board in that candidates can choose to share their personal information, allowing for the perfect match between the job seeker and the employer/recruiter. The most successful businesses realize that diversity and inclusion create a competitive advantage in an increasingly global workplace where it is essential that the employee base is reflective of the customer base. At Diversitree we help put the YOU in Unique. Own it. Sell it. We'll help you.
