Companies are losing out on women in the recruitment process; whether it be in employer branding, the step from interview to hire, or at the offer stage. What can be done about that?
In this episode, Léonie Kennepohl, co-founder at Female x Finance joins us to talk about women in the financial sector. This male-dominated industry has long struggled to attract, hire, and retain women. In this episode, Léonie will dive into why companies are struggling with their gender parity, where the bottlenecks lie in the recruitment process, how to identify the challenges of your company, and what you as a recruiter can do to bring more women into the company.

A bit about Léonie Kennepohl
Léonie Kennepohl is the co-founder of Female x Finance, a fast-growing career platform that connects female talent with the financial sector.
As students looking to break into Finance, founders Léonie and Mélanie experienced firsthand the barriers that women faced in a largely male-dominated sector. And so, FxF was born, with the goal of increasing female presence in the financial sector.
Their approach is twofold: they help talented women break into the sector through training and extensive career guidance, and they help businesses attract, hire, and retain next-gen female talent. With a growing community of over 5500 women, and over 60 partners in Private Equity, Venture Capital, Corporate Finance and Quantitative Finance, FxF’s efforts continue to help make gender diversity in the finance sector the norm, not just a trend.
