New Era in Diversity Recruitment: Professional Diversity Network, Inc. Rebrands Job Board Operation as TalentAlly

Chicago, August 26, 2024 (Globe Newswire) - Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPDN) ("PDN" or the "Company"), a leader in developing and operating online and in-person networks that offer access to networking, training, educational, and employment opportunities for diverse individuals, is pleased to announce the rebranding of its job board operations to TalentAlly. TalentAlly, LLC will now operate as a standalone subsidiary of Professional Diversity Network, Inc.

Despite challenges in the recruitment market, PDN's job board service revenue increased by 3.2% in the first half of this year compared to last year. Consequently, the Company has decided to intensify its focus on its job board recruitment business, intending to significantly advance its commitment to diversity recruitment and inclusive hiring practices.

For over two decades, PDN has supported the recruiting strategies of Fortune 500 companies and other organizations across various industries. As the landscape of diversity in the workplace continues to evolve, it became imperative to reflect upon its branding as an advocate of DEI. The name TalentAlly acknowledges all aspects of interlacing identities, recognizes the organization's responsibility as an ally to talent, and aligns with PDN's continued mission to create a fair and inclusive job market by bridging the gap between job seekers from diverse backgrounds and employers who champion DEI.

This strategic rebranding enables the company to connect with, market to, and expand its network of job seekers from diverse backgrounds. TalentAlly will continue to empower individuals to grow their careers with the support of its diverse network of partners and inclusive employers, career fairs, networking opportunities, mentorship programs, and more. Furthermore, with the launch of TalentAlly, the company will focus on career development and strategic recruitment by offering a continually updated library of resources for job seekers and recruiters. As job seeker quantity and quality increase, the company anticipates an increase in employers' recruiting from its network.

"With TalentAlly, we're embracing a broader vision. Our new corporation structure and rebranding of our recruitment service reflect our role as a dedicated ally to all talented individuals, acknowledging the richness of their identities and experiences. This strategic shift positions us to more effectively engage with and support both job seekers and employers, thereby advancing our efforts to foster equitable and inclusive job markets." Said Adam He, CEO of the Company.
