As an award-winning financial sciences & services talent partner under the Phaidon International brand, clients often ask us how to improve Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) in their workplace so they can attract, hire, and retain top talent with diverse experiences and viewpoints.
To provide data-backed insights, we have surveyed both employees and employers from our database to understand their perspectives on company culture, discrimination, development opportunities, and DE&I training and resources at their workplace to uncover trends, disparities, and areas in need of improvement.

Ben Hodzic, Managing Director - Head of Selby Jennings USA, shares the transformations he has witnessed over the past few years, and how Selby Jennings helps clients with their hiring goals: "There’s generally a lack of senior female talent in finance that comes from STEM oriented backgrounds like computer science, math, physics, and engineering. Many of our clients have taken a proactive stance on addressing this within their talent acquisition functions. With some of our key clients, we have created specific recruiting channels where we will introduce diverse talent on an opportunistic basis, even if there is no active headcount need. This way, our clients are seeing the best diverse talent all year around and can create roles where they see fit. We’ve found this to be very successful, especially with clients that struggle to hire at a senior level." |
