DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
Diversity is at the forefront of everything we do and we continuously challenge ourselves to think differently
Over the last 7 years, we have built an established network of the top female Sales professionals across key financial services markets in Europe, with the support of a dedicated in-house research function. This ensures that we are able to identify, engage, attract and introduce to our clients the requisite calibre of Sales professionals, whilst supporting their diversity objectives.
Ludgate Search's diversity and inclusion services also include workshops and training, coaching and mentoring and our team is represented on a number of steering committees for industry initiatives such as the Diversity Project's Gender Workstream, Inclusive Recruitment Initiative and as former chair of their SMART Working workstream.
In addition to this, we are able to provide bespoke analytics and reporting on gender and remuneration, we hold regular events on diversity topics, and conduct surveys on industry trends within the investment industry.
