I n order to achieve this goal, the following objectives has been set: (1) to identify elements of job offers that are opened for diversity, (2) to analyse job offers of big companies which signed D C in terms of using the elements opened for diversity (3) to discuss diversity management issues in the recruitment process of Polish companies. The case study analysis is a research method applied in the paper.
