Female x Finance: Our Services

ING Structured Lending

"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."

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%!

As a small VC firm specializing in high-tech, finding tech-savvy talent is challenging. Thanks to FxF's guidance, we strategically positioned ourselves and attracted top-tier candidates through targeted events and recruitment. This resulted in hiring several interns and entry-level professionals with the skills and culture essential for our high-tech investment focus.

To earn the FxF Quality Mark, companies must complete two key surveys:

Data on Diverse Hiring: Companies provide data points about their hiring practices and the diversity within their workforce. This includes metrics on gender diversity and other relevant factors. We do not require companies to already have a high percentage of women in their workforce. We understand it is a journey!
Inclusive Culture check: A survey is distributed to the entire team to assess the inclusivity of the company culture. This survey is completed anonymously to ensure honest and unbiased feedback. The goal is to understand how inclusive the workplace feels to all employees, regardless of their background.
