Hispanic Talent Memo (HTM) is the blog of AdMentis Hispanic Talent Solutions, an independent consulting firm aimed at assisting organizations with recruiting Hispanic professional talent and college graduates. If you are visiting this site, you’re likely aware that the Hispanic American population has experienced significant changes. In the last decade, Hispanics have accounted for more than half (50.5%) of the overall population growth in the United States – a significant demographic milestone for the nation’s largest minority group. As more Hispanic Americans pursue college educations and prepare to enter the workforce, there’s a need to understand how their cultural and social experiences impact their job choice and career decisions.

Miguel Corona began publishing HTM to discuss Hispanic American culture and how it may impact Hispanics in an organizational environment. Using this forum, it is the hope of this blog to increase the understanding of how Hispanic social and cultural factors may influence Hispanics’ career choices and professional success. Miguel also shares his insights as a blog contributor to two other websites: Intern Matters (via Internships.com) and the Global University Recruiting Blog (via GURConnect). By helping provide this information, Miguel hopes to help organizations in any industry enhance their Hispanic recruiting and retainment efforts.

Miguel’s professional experience has crossed two industries: corporate America and higher education. He gained first-hand knowledge about Hispanic college students working in the Career Services Center at the University of Texas at El Paso, one of the largest Hispanic serving institutions in the United States. Next, Miguel developed strategies for attracting the best and most diverse new talent by directing the College Recruitment operations for Nestle, USA. Later as the recruitment director for Security Capital Group, Miguel designed and implemented all facets of a successful college recruitment program. Finally, as part of the Campus Relations team for JobDirect.com, he built partnerships with university career centers to meet their information-management needs.  

Miguel holds a Doctorate of Management in Organizational Leadership and is an active member of several Hispanic professional and community organizations. For the last eight years, he has also been a committed faculty member facilitating undergraduate and graduate courses for the University of Phoenix,  Strayer University,  and Axia College.
