AMEX Partners with HBCU CONNECT To Host Successful Diversity Recruitment Event for Black Professionals!

Posted By: Will Moss on July 20, 2022

On Tuesday, July 19th, 2022, American Express (AMEX) partnered with HBCU CONNECT to host a very successful diversity recruitment event that exceeded attendance exptectations by double.

AMEX was looking to hire more black professionals and established a partnership with HBCU CONNECT, the largest professional network for HBCU Students, Graduates and Black Professionals.

Here are a few highlights from the event:
1. There was a goal of 50 candidates but HBCU CONNECT delivered a guest list of over 325 resumes from interested candidates, 216 confirms and a max concurrent of 109 attendees on the call.
2. We had lots of great questions from candidates in the chat and breakout rooms.
3. We had a great keynote from Omar and an awesome panel from Narrio, Edymari, Marmeline and Mario!
4. The folks at American Express did a great job bringing the event together with us once again.

Check out the event video for full details and use the following link to apply for positions with AMEX:
