Review diversity of the applicant pool

This information should be used to determine if the pool is representative of the diversity of the recruitment scope for this position. Compare the actual percentage in your pool to the goal percentage indicated in the Affirmative Action Plan. If the pool is not adequately diverse, you may consider re-opening the position and advertising in alternative publications and/or websites to increase the diversity of the applicant pool.
