Why Finance Firms Struggle to Hire Female Talent
Lack of Female Applicants in the Hiring Pipeline
Even firms actively seeking female talent struggle to get enough female applicants.
Traditional hiring channels (LinkedIn ads, job boards, career fairs) fail to reach or convert top female Finance professionals, keeping the pipeline male-dominated.
Low Employer Brand Awareness Among Female Candidates
No Clear Strategy for Engaging Female Talent
Hiring managers and HR teams lack access to a pre-engaged female talent pool. Traditional recruiters focus on volume, not diversity, making it hard to build a gender-balanced pipeline.
FxF Solves This by Providing a Direct, Qualified Pipeline to Finance Companies.

ING Structured Lending
Femke Schep
"The departments Structured Lending and Structured Acquisition Finance were not known under the female target group. Together with FxF, we dove into the data on how we should brand the departments and its opportunities. We increased awareness and interest at the target group, resulting in having a broader talent pool and 3 full-time hires within 1 year."
Accuracy
Leontine Koens-Betz
We faced a big challenge: increasing the representation of women in our team. Despite participating in numerous student events, we struggled to attract female talent. FxF introduced a distinctive approach to sourcing female candidates, diverging from the mainstream methods. This approach proved highly successful: our team in NL witnessed a remarkable transformation - from less than 10% female representation burgeoned to nearly 50%!
