Professional Diversity Network
The PDN Network consists of various online professional networking communities dedicated to serving diverse professionals in the United States and employers seeking to hire diverse talent. The Company's networking communities harness its relationship recruitment methodology to facilitate and empower professional networking within common affinities. The Company offers to large and medium employers seeking to diversify their employment ranks, and to third-party recruiters real-time solutions that deliver diverse talent, advertising and promotion of their job opportunities to its networks of diverse professionals and assistance with posting their job opportunities to career agencies in a manner compliant with the regulations and requirements of the Equal Employment Opportunity Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program (OFCCP), including those of state and local governments.

The Company schedules NAPW Network events after PDN Career Networking Conferences in order to create opportunities for employers participating in the PDN Network events to receive exposure to candidates. The Company offers the Hire AdvantEdge product, which allows it to sell the qualified candidate lead referral to employers via an e-commerce model. Hire AdvantEdge is a data-driven product, which matches registered users with jobs offered by its employment partners, qualifies those registered users for its partners' jobs, secures an indication of interest, and directly provides its partner with the registered user's information or submits an application on behalf of the registered user to its partner's recruitment system. The PDN Network Hire AdvantEdge product delivers membership value to those registered users seeking to reenter the workforce or to upgrade their professional employment condition. The Company intends to enhance the Hire AdvantEdge product with a licensed recruitment platform, a cloud-based software system that will access Hire AdvantEdge from its business partners' desktops.
